We all have different ideas about what makes a relationship great: some of us are looking for a partner in crime to raise a family and stroll around markets on a Sunday with, and some of us just want to find a person to flirt and exchange top-tier memes with. Our ideas about what constitutes a good relationship are as unique as we are, and they’ll likely change as we grow and adapt. That’s not a bad thing – and luckily, on Badoo, you can change your filters and interests to find your dream date anytime.
How to use filters to find your dream date
Whether you’re looking for a French-speaking skydiver or a music-fanatic with a passion for anime, we’ve got your back. At Badoo, we understand that time is precious, and wading through tons of prospective matches can get a bit tiresome. If you want to cut back on swiping and reduce your screentime, you can use our handy filters function to find what you’re looking for. Here’s how:
- Open Badoo and click the ‘cards’ icon
- Tap the ‘filter’ icon
- Select your preferences
- Hit apply!
You should see a range of filters in front of you: from age, distance, and interests to more advanced options. You can use the slider to adjust your preferred age or widen or narrow down your search area. If you’re done with long-distance and you want to find someone closer to home, slide the distance scale to the left. If you’re game for travelling a little further afield, slide it to the right – simple!
To use the advanced filters, you’ll need to fill out these details in your own profile. It’s a bonus for you too because it means that other Badoo-ers can see what you’re all about from the get-go. Once you’ve done this, you can be as selective as you like with your own preferences! Are Saggitarius star signs a no-go? Be gone! Are you looking for someone with a furry friend to go on dog walks with? You can filter for that too.
How to use interests to meet your match
Adding a variety of interests to your Badoo profile is so important. It gives your potential matches insight into what makes you tick and provides an opportunity for them to skip the small talk and initiate interesting conversations based on your prompts. To make the most of your interests section, be super specific: instead of selecting ‘sport’ – why not mention your favourite athlete? Or if you’re mad about making things, you can select anything from ‘woodworking’ to ‘origami’.The more niche the interest, the better!
Once you’ve filled out your own interests section, you can move on to filtering your matches by theirs. Try inputting the hobbies you’re passionate about if you want to meet a like-minded person or select a topic you’d love to know more about if ‘opposites attract’ is your philosophy.
Being picky with your filters and interests doesn’t mean you’re limiting your options: it just means that you know what you’re looking for – and there’s nothing more attractive than that. Plus, you can switch them up at any time as your needs and priorities change. Happy matching!
