Quick answer: Change your Match Preferences from the upper right corner of Discover, or from your Profile page.
- Basics: gender preference (men, women, or both), age (18–99), and distance (1–1,000 miles).
- First Class: height and education.
- Faith: affiliation, kosher, and how often you'd like your partner to attend synagogue.
- Relationship Goals: relationship type, children, and family plans.
- Preferences help us find better matches. Most aren't strict filters. First Class members can turn on Dealbreaker for Affiliation or Kosher to only see people who match.
Your Match Preferences tell us who you'd like to meet. They help us find better matches, but most aren't strict filters, so you may still see some members outside them. First Class members can turn on Dealbreaker for Affiliation or Kosher, so they'll only see members who match that preference. The one place you may still see members outside a Dealbreaker is your Likes tab, since anyone can Like your profile.
How to change them
- Go to Discover and tap the Match Preferences icon in the upper right corner. You can also open your Profile page and select Match Preferences.
- Adjust any of the options below.
- Your results update automatically.
Basics
- Gender preference: men, women, or both.
- Age: 18 to 99.
- Distance: 1 to 1,000 miles, in 1-mile steps.
- Height: First Class only.
- Education: First Class only.
Faith
- Affiliation: choose any of Culturally Jewish, Reform, Conservative, Traditional, Orthodox, Not sure yet, or Willing to convert.
- Kosher: Don't keep Kosher, Kosher at home only, or Kosher everywhere.
- Dealbreaker (First Class): at the bottom of Affiliation or Kosher, turn on Dealbreaker – Only show me people who match this preference. If you were a JSwipe member before this change, Dealbreaker is already on for Affiliation, and only First Class members can turn it off. Dealbreakers only change who you see in Discover, Explore, and Most Eligible. They don't change who can see or Like you, so your Likes tab can still show anyone. Running out of people to see? First Class members can try turning Dealbreaker off.
- Synagogue: how often you'd like your partner to attend synagogue: Every Shabbat, Occasionally, High Holidays only, or Rarely or never. Choose any or all.
Relationship Goals
- Relationship type: Friend/activity partner, Casual dating, Long term relationship, Marriage, or Not sure yet. Choose any or all.
- Children: whether you'd accept a partner who has children. Choose Yes or No.
- Family Plans: whether you'd like your partner to want kids: Yes, No, or Maybe. Choose any or all.
Tap Save at the bottom to save your choices. Synagogue and Relationship Goals are free for everyone. Like most preferences, they help decide who we show you first. They don't filter anyone out.
Discoverable
Your Match Preferences also include Discoverable. Turn it off to stop being shown to other members as a new potential match. Your existing Matches can still see you. You can still browse other members' profiles as usual. Turning Discoverable off only hides you, not them. See How do I manage my profile visibility?
