    Now that you've changed your age range filter, you'll only see people in the selected age range in your matches.
    • If you run out of matches in your selected age range, you may see matches that are either two years older or younger than your range.

      • Your age range preferences only affect who you see in your matches. If someone who doesn't fall within your preferred age range includes your age in their range, they may still see you in their matches.
