How matching works
Matching algorithm
Our intelligent matching algorithm draws from a broad set of criteria to surface the most relevant, compatible potential matches for every member.
- Age range preferences
- Gender identity and preferences
- Geographic locality and distance
- Member recency and activity levels
- Desired relationship types (casual, long-term, friendship, and more)
- Lifestyle habits such as drinking and smoking preferences
- Niche interests including specific sports, hobbies, and pastimes
- Religious beliefs and moral compatibility
Improving your visibility
While Classic members receive daily matches based on the algorithm, VIP and VIP+ members benefit from significantly enhanced visibility: VIP+ members appear at the top of every potential match's match stack, Profile Boosts temporarily increase visibility to all active members nearby, and Super Matches rise to the top of a recipient's inbox.
Standing out
Super Match
Super Matches help members break through the noise and make a memorable first impression. When you send a Super Match, your message is delivered in a vibrant, distinctive colour scheme, your profile is always seen first by the recipient, and they can reply directly to open a full conversation thread. Super Matches are available as a purchasable add-on for VIP+ members.
Safety & trust
Built on verification, not guesswork
ID verification
Free ID verification is available to all members regardless of tier. Once verified, a badge appears on your profile that reassures potential matches they're communicating with a genuine, real person.
Admin profile validation
For members who want additional credibility without submitting sensitive identity documents, our team manually reviews and approves profiles — a validation badge without compromising personal information.
