Your Looking For preferences help RSVP understand the type of person you’d like to meet and show you potential matches based on your interests and relationship preferences.
Whether your preferences have changed or you’d simply like to explore different connections, you can update them at any time.

What Preferences Can I Change?
Depending on the available options, you can adjust preferences such as:
- Age range: Choose the age range of members you’d like to meet.
- Distance: Set how far away potential matches can be from your location.
- Height: Select your preferred height range.
- Lifestyle: Set preferences relating to smoking, drinking, exercise, and other lifestyle habits.
- Background: Choose preferences relating to religion, ethnicity, and other personal characteristics.
Updating these preferences helps RSVP identify members who may be more compatible with what you’re looking for.
Will Changing My Preferences Affect My Matches?
Yes. Your Looking For preferences help RSVP determine which members may be suitable matches.
After updating your preferences, you may notice changes to the profiles displayed in your Matches and other discovery sections.
Tip: Keeping your preferences flexible can help you discover people you might not have considered before.
Why Am I Seeing Members Outside My Preferences?
You may occasionally see profiles or receive Winks from members who fall outside your preferred age range, distance, or other criteria.
This can happen because RSVP’s matching system considers each member’s individual preferences.
For example, someone may see your profile because you meet their preferred age and location criteria, even if they don’t meet yours.
This means they may consider you a potential match, even though they’re outside the range you’re looking for.
What can I do?
If you receive a Wink from someone you’re not interested in, you can simply select Not Interested.
You’re never obligated to respond positively or start a conversation.
Can I Change My Preferences Again Later?
Absolutely!
You can update your Looking For preferences whenever your interests or relationship goals change.
We recommend reviewing your preferences occasionally to make sure they still reflect the type of person you’d like to meet.
What’s the Difference Between My Profile Details and Looking For Preferences?
Your Profile Details describe who you are, including your age, location, lifestyle, and interests.
Your Looking For preferences describe the qualities and characteristics you’d prefer in a potential partner.
Keeping both sections accurate helps RSVP provide a more relevant matching experience.
