How matching works
What goes into the profiles you see in your feed.
Last updated 2026-05-29
The discover feed isn't random. Every card you see has already passed your hard filters, your deal breakers, and a layer of compatibility scoring.
What we use
- Hard filters — age range, location radius, religious framework, marital status preferences. Nothing outside these ever appears.
- Deal breakers — anything you've marked as non-negotiable in your values.
- Compatibility scoring — how closely your values, religious level, and intention align.
- Activity signals — recently active profiles are surfaced ahead of dormant ones.
What we don't use
- Your photos are never used to rank others.
- We don't sell or share matching signals with third parties.
- Paid tiers don't get hidden access to profiles outside your filters.
Why someone you "should" see isn't showing
- They've already passed on your profile (a temporary cooldown applies).
- One of your deal breakers conflicts with their profile.
- They're outside your selected location or age range.
- They've paused their profile.
