You can make use of those 15 seconds to maximize someone’s interest with more ease than a picture ever could. It’s that easy– with transparent communication, it’s easier than ever for people to reach out and make a connection.

• By looking at vProfiles, it becomes easy to narrow down who you’re looking for once you’ve narrowed down what you’re looking for
• After finding your chosen matches, just start communicating and see what happens!
