GoForDesi.com has disabled the right click on the pictures displayed on the website so that the pictures can not be downloaded easily. It is highly recommended to add your pictures on your profile because we have noticed that most of the members search for profiles which has at least one picture displayed on their profile. If you still do not feel safe uploading full size picture, we suggest you to upload a smaller size pictures.
You can update most of the information in your profile yourself. However, there are some items (your e-mail address, date of birth, name, gender, and religion, etc.) which can be changed only in extraordinary/ exceptional circumstances. This too can be done only on request to support team, supported by valid reason(s) and/or necessary evidence.
We DO NOT display the contact details of the members anywhere on our website. Only way to obtain the contact details of other members is by requesting them on chat messages. The chat messaging with any member gets enabled on our website only when, either you had sent the interest/contact request to that member and that member has accepted your interest/contact request, or vice versa. You can always request the contact details (like phone number or WhatsApp number) of the other members on the text messages, but we recommend you to do that only after you chat with the member for sufficient time on our website and feel safe and comfortable to exchange the contact details. If you experience any inappropriate behaviour during chat messaging, you can submit an "Abuse report" by using an option provided at the bottom of the "View Profile" page for that member.
