Author nospam99 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 @CG. The problem I was trying to point out about the way Match's Top Picks and Recommendations work now is that most of them are even YOUNGER than a reasonable age range to expect they would be interested in dating me. These women are between 49 and 57. Back in February, before the User Interface was changed and I could easily see all women's 'seeking' age ranges, essentially no women below 58 were willing to date a man my age - not even close. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

My best friend is a 65 year old man who lives in the mountains in SE Ohio. He had to travel to meet women after they'd messaged and talked on the phone for a few months. He found a great match in North Dakota and they've been together 2 years. My FIL had the same deal...met a woman one state away and they got married. They live part-time at his place and part-time at hers. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Is it possible they're just trying to expand your reach since your category has a more limited amount of women? (You said 23 or 28 or something?) Just a thought. I don't know if the apps do that. Mind you, I'm not trying to claim the apps aren't glitchy. I'm not surprised that they are. Link to post Share on other sites
Author nospam99 Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 @CG Chatting with the aforementioned representatives, they are indeed 'being flexible' to increase the number of profiles in the sets delivered by the Discover tool. These reps have 'heard' me say that it's just a waste of my time to receive dozens of bad 'matches' every day, that I'd rather receive ONE 'good' match (a woman who is willing to date a man my age, my height, who lives where I do) once a week or once a month. However their job is just to listen and say something sympathetic. They do not parametrize the way the site works. Link to post Share on other sites

They don't have any candidates that exactly meet Nospam's requirements so I guess this woman is the closest match they have available 9 hours ago, nospam99 said: Chatting with the aforementioned representatives, they are indeed 'being flexible' to increase the number of profiles in the sets delivered by the Discover tool.
