We count only people who are active, have passed the phone and live selfie checks, have
agreed to what’s needed to join, have finished their profile and photos, aren’t paused or

ages you’re each open to, and each other’s dealbreakers. Sign-ups alone never count.

how matchmaking works, step by step.
