Our matching algorithm
The engine behind your daily match suggestions draws on a broad set of criteria to surface genuinely compatible people for hookup dating that fits your life.
How it works
- 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, sports, hobbies and pastimes
- Religious beliefs and moral compatibility
The platform provides the suggestions — but it's up to you to make your 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 visibility to all active members nearby
- Super Matches let you send a vibrant, highlighted message that rises to the top of a recipient's inbox
Super Match
A powerful premium feature that helps 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 — and they can reply directly, 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.
Safety & trust
Two ways we help you know who you're really talking to.
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 — significantly reducing concerns about catfishing and building 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.
