Editing Tips for solo women (section)

==Hosting Alone==

* Don't accept any couch request coming by phone, by SMS or by your private mailbox. You must always have the possibility to check the CS profile of your future guest, in order to know if he/she has no negative references and if he/she is a new member or not.
* We suggest you to accept only profiles of those who already have some positive references from women he/she has received or where he/she has couchsurfed. We suggest you to not accept to host a man whose profile doesn't have any references, or if he has never hosted or been hosted by women.
* If you host, you have to consider that your guest might not have the same opinion about hygienic aspects. Be tolerant of how they are, and if you have to make some rules at your flat, don't hesitate to tell them upon their arrival.
* If you receive a couch request from a man, it is important to check if his profile says that he only accepts to host "Female", instead of "Any". It is a very suspicious aspect.
* We suggest you not to put your real name on your profile, especially your family name, because one can then easily find your phone number in the public phone book. You have the possibility to put your username on your profile: to go "Edit Profile", then on the "Privacy" page, put "Hide my name, use my User Name to identify me".
