Gender matches are wrong

A lot of my female members are getting notifications about other members matching them that are females (and male is their preference).  I had the gender matching at 0% and upped it to 25% but this is still happening.  Am I missing a setting somewhere?

If your setting at 0% all members will be matched, 25% is still a low number meaning a high amount of matches.

For most sites, I set at 98% match, otherwise members were getting tons of daily matches when they really didn't match much at all until I set my match rate very high.

But I never seen a match F for F; I have a feeling its because your settings are so low.

I think having a good search form is the key to people finding others.  The default search form that Boonex creates uses the same controls that the join/edit forms uses.  Which means no checkboxes to select multiple items or setting items to null.  AntonLV stepped forward after my forum topic on this and created a solution.  You can find it in the market.  So instead of software that guesses that someone might be a good match; a user that wants to find others can now use a robust search form and put in as much or as few criteria as they need.  Matching can still be used but nothing beats a robust search form for finding others.

 I also have some mail from your site matching me to someone not true or close.. hence the need to raise the percentage rate.

Also, the particular profile has spam mail on her profile, I will send the profile link via PM.

You need to pick up some anti spam modules or turn them on in the admin section.

Thanks, I just bought the advanced search.  I like that a member can choose to search for members with photos.

 

I also bumped the gender match to 100%.  I then just turned off the box that shows the percentage of match so it won't show that it matches over 100%.  But then I realized that e-mails would go out to all of my members since I had that set to 50%.  So I bumped that to 100%, and dropped gender matching to 75%.

I've been having the same problem, so far only women have complained too - maybe this is a bug?

I had gender match at 50% and matching notification at 80%.
