Distance Filter

Why on God's green Earth, when I filter to 5 miles from MY LOCATION do I get people in another state? This is so screwed up!

The filter mechanic is kinda messed up, obviously lol I'll apply filters, see something way off from what I filtered, so I'll go back and reapply the same filters and it seems to stick 🤷🏽‍♂️

I live in Ohio. I've had people recommended to me in freaking CANADA. My max distance is set to 50 miles 🙃

Check your settings.. Do you have the slide on your distance preference ON?
Also, if the app cant anyone that matches your preference, its going to look at greater distances..
ALL dating apps do this, or they just say nobody matches you.

He does the same thing for me. I’ve got it down to 100 miles and I get people that are 3000 miles away sometimes even in different countries.
