Abstract

A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving a search request from a user of a dating website that defines one or more search criteria. The search criteria is compared to a plurality of user profiles to generate a result set of user profiles. At least one result set user profile included within the result set of user profiles includes a plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors. The at least one result set user profile is filtered to remove one or more of the plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors based, at least in part, upon the search criteria to generate a filtered result set of user profiles.

Claims

1. A computer-implemented method, executed on a computing system, comprising:

receiving a search request from a user of a dating website that defines one or more search criteria;

comparing the search criteria to a plurality of user profiles to generate a result set of user profiles, wherein at least one result set user profile included within the result set of user profiles includes a plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors; and

filtering the at least one result set user profile to remove one or more of the plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors based, at least in part, upon the search criteria to generate a filtered result set of user profiles.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 further comprising:

providing the filtered result set to the user.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the dating website is a swinger'"'"'s website.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors concern sexual orientation.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors concern user interest.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors concern user preference.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the user profile defines:

a group of people or a single person.

8. A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

receiving a search request from a user of a dating website that defines one or more search criteria;

comparing the search criteria to a plurality of user profiles to generate a result set of user profiles, wherein at least one result set user profile included within the result set of user profiles includes a plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors; and

filtering the at least one result set user profile to remove one or more of the plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors based, at least in part, upon the search criteria to generate a filtered result set of user profiles.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 further comprising instructions for:

providing the filtered result set to the user.

10. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the dating website is a swinger'"'"'s website.

11. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors concern sexual orientation.

12. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors concern user interest.

13. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors concern user preference.

14. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the user profile defines:

a group of people or a single person.

15. A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:

receiving a search request from a user of a dating website that defines one or more search criteria;

comparing the search criteria to a plurality of user profiles to generate a result set of user profiles, wherein at least one result set user profile included within the result set of user profiles includes a plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors; and

filtering the at least one result set user profile to remove one or more of the plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors based, at least in part, upon the search criteria to generate a filtered result set of user profiles.

16. The computing system of claim 15 further configured to perform operations comprising:

providing the filtered result set to the user.

17. The computing system of claim 15 wherein the dating website is a swinger'"'"'s website.

18. The computing system of claim 15 wherein the plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors concern sexual orientation.

19. The computing system of claim 15 wherein the plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors concern user interest.

20. The computing system of claim 15 wherein the plurality of mutually-exclusive descriptors concern user preference.

21. The computing system of claim 15 wherein the user profile defines:

a group of people or a single person.
