In Dating.mobi , it apparently is the phrase " intimate encounter " - this means sex, a hook up & one night stand, getting laid etc.

There are a lot of people here putting this on their profiles ,and alot of overseas women who don't realize this. And overseas men, who think this means " soul mate"

B.astard. From what I understand it is a term of endearment in the Land Down Under.
