Best practices for effective filtering

•Start broad, refine gradually: Don't over-filter on your first attempt
•Be realistic about dealbreakers: Too many filters limit your matches
•Allow room for surprises: Sometimes the best matches are unexpected
•Update regularly: Your preferences may evolve over time
•Focus on core values: Prioritize what truly matters long-term
•Balance specificity and flexibility: Be clear but open-minded

Pro tip: If you're not getting enough matches, try loosening your filters slightly. If you're getting too many incompatible matches, tighten your core preferences!

Common filtering mistakes

Being too restrictive: Overly narrow filters eliminate potentially great matches
Ignoring preferences entirely: No filters can lead to overwhelming options
Filtering by superficial traits: Focus on compatibility over appearance
Never updating preferences: Your needs change as you grow
Copying someone else's filters: Your preferences should be authentically yours

•Higher quality matches that align with your values
