Offer an easy to toggle setting that indicates that the user is looking and available. The "Looking For: Right Now" category in the profile is used to signal that a user is generally willing to hook up, but that may change under whatever specific circumstances, so it can get tedious to shift through profiles and see who is actually looking right then. So, a "Looking Now" flag would cut down on unwanted messages on two fronts: people don't have to send endless "Looking?" messages, and people don't have to field endless "Looking?" messages.
