How matches are made
Matching Algorithm
Our intelligent matching algorithm is at the heart of the platform's experience. It draws from a broad set of criteria to surface the most relevant, compatible potential matches for every member.
How It Works
The algorithm evaluates a wide range of factors when generating daily match suggestions, including:
- 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
The platform provides the suggestions — but it's up to members to make their profile stand out and spark a genuine connection. The algorithm creates the opportunity; chemistry does the rest.
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, ensuring they're seen first.
- Profile Boosts (available as an add-on) temporarily increase your profile's visibility to all active members nearby.
- Super Matches allow you to send a vibrant, highlighted message that rises to the top of a recipient's inbox and immediately catches their eye.
VIP+ add-on
Super Match
Super Matches are a powerful premium feature that 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 that immediately stands out in the recipient's inbox.
- Your profile is always seen first by the recipient — before any other match or message.
- The recipient can reply directly to your Super Match message, opening a full conversation thread.
Super Matches are available as a purchasable add-on for VIP+ members, making them an ideal tool for members who want to make a bold, confident move on someone they're particularly interested in.
Built in, not bolted on
Safety & Trust
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 are communicating with a genuine, real person. This significantly reduces concerns about catfishing and builds trust across the community.
Admin Profile Validation
For members who want additional credibility without submitting sensitive identity documents, our team offers a manual admin validation process. A member of our team reviews and approves your profile, giving you a validation badge that communicates authenticity to your matches — all without compromising your personal information.
