When you join Plenty of Fish and when you use the mobile app, we use your location, your postal code, or your city to find people based on how close they are to you. If we find two members that might be your perfect match, we’ll show you the one that lives in the same neighborhood before we show you the member three towns over.
If you’re currently in a smaller community, or you’re enjoying off-the-grid lifestyle, the matches that we show can be quite a distance away. That’s because we prioritize having lots in common with romantic potential over someone that just happens to live next door.
