User profiles are on a social networking site, and that profile includes three different parts: a public part, a private part only to be shown to friends of the user, and a personal private part that is not shown to anyone who does not meet the specified criteria, whether friends or not friends. That other private part can be, for example, information about personal or dating preferences, that is only shown to those people who expressed similar desire to see personal or dating preferences. In one embodiment, the users profile is verified before showing them anyone else's private information.
