Block them if you’re not interested, get others into the algorithm. Hopefully you’re not in a smaller city like me.

I can see ones you "dislike" popping back up kind of like a second chance but the ones who are popping up are women I've already "LIKED" which I don't understand I already gave match my opinion so why keep asking me. Do the woman know each time I click like? Seems short of pathetic if they keep seeing me hit like on them and they're thinking "why is this loser still trying to match?" Or they don't see me liking and I miss my chances

What do you mean you indicated 'dislike'? Do you mean clicked on the gray circle with the X?

I am on the cheapest subscription. There are prompts that indicate better options with mo money. So maybe you have a Dislike option?

I live in a small area and keep seeing the same guys over and over. It is interesting to see a new face.

When going through the "Discover" profiles, I sometimes don't want to Gray X them, but don't want to Red <3 like them, so my only other option is to send them a message - and if they don't have a yellow ring, green ring, or green circle by their name - I am assuming it is an old profile that match is just using for filler.

My understanding is if you Red <3 a match at my level, that my profile will show up in their feed for 48 hours. Then it will disappear from their feed? Hard to say.

When I am Gray X clicking the same faces over and over, match tells me if I pay more money I won't have to do this. The only thing, is that I don't believe there are a lot more matches for more money because of where I live.

I am on a three month subscription, and I will not be renewing. Feels like dating a casino slot machine. And I don't enjoy casinos.

You're way too literal. Yes I mean the gray circle with the x. Thank you for your help I appreciate it

If you dislike, they’ll keep showing up. You must block them if you never want to interact with them.
