Why are people outside my criteria able to like my profile

158 votes

I’ve noticed that some of the profiles that have liked mine do not fall under my criteria. For instance my age range is set 21-32 but I can see that people 38+ are liking my profile. If the system is allowing people to like you outside your criteria then you should receive a special notification for when those users like you and should be shown their profiles without having to have a mutualup subscription. I think it would also help to have a toggle that you can set that would allow you to turn off and on the ability for people outside your criteria to see your profile. That way I can hard parameters for someone to be able to see my profile.

Agreed. If I'm not even going to see someone's profile to potentially swipe on them, they shouldn't see mine. Of course I can only see the preview of the who likes me section since I don't have mutual up, but I can see that at least the first 4 guys listed are outside my age range. If I set an age/distance range there is no point of people seeing my profile who have a 0% chance of matching with me. Frankly, it's actually pretty creepy. Just showing my dating profile to people on the other side of the world or to creepy old men? No thanks. It should only be seen by guys 22-27 who live close by.

I disagree with this. I think this should happen occasionally so that people outside my filtered range can see me and swipe on me. If this feature is added, then there should be a "how strict should your criteria be" and if someone says rigid then no one outside that criteria is shown and if someone says not strict at all, then their profile can be shown to individuals outside of that criteria. I'm not saying some 50-year-old should be able to swipe on a 20-year-old, just that if you are open to outside your range, we should have the option to indicate how often and to what extent we should be allowed someone outside the filters we have already set.

I set my mileage parameter at 102. I really don’t want to travel more than 90 minutes for a date(45 half way). Almost 100% of people that like me are from South America and Philippines. I’m 60, not open to learning another language, and it is not feasible to date someone 1000’s of miles away. If you want to be liked by people outside your criteria, expand your criteria and you do the filtering. I would like the algorithm to do that for me, Kyle
