In short
- Discover is the grid: Dudes around you, nearest first, each with age, distance, online status and up to three common-ground icons — a flame for type, hearts for interests, a speech bubble for language.
- A brown icon means a match, an orange one a strong match. Tap the icons and they say why: "Matches your type", "Shares your interests", "Speaks English & German".
- They're computed from both profiles — your tags, hobbies, favourites, mood and languages against his. No tags, no icons — fill your profile.
- Match is a filter: pick an icon and a colour, and the grid shows only the Dudes who earn it.
- Search (on your Status screen) filters by age, distance, interests and more; your DudesList keeps favourites — Hotties 🔥 and Buddies 🤝, private to you.
The Discover grid
The Discover tab shows every approved, verified Dude around you: photo, username, a green dot when he's online (active in the last five minutes) or a yellow one when he was online within the last hour, age, distance — and the common-ground icons you share with him. Switch between the photo grid and a denser list view, whichever way you like to browse.
Five buttons sit above the grid. Each asks its question — Online? Match? Dudes? Sort? Moods? — and turns orange once you've answered it.
- Sort by Distance (the default: nearest first), Recent (freshly active first), New photos (fresh pictures this week), or Visitors: the Dudes who viewed your profile, most recent first — a Supporter feature.
- Filter by Online only, by Match (an icon and a colour, any combination), by your DudesList with the Dudes filter (Hotties, Buddies, or both), and by current Moods — "online Dudes near me who are up for a party tonight" is three taps.
Members can browse up to 288 profiles per session; Supporters browse without limit.
The three icons — what you have in common
There is no score. Instead, every Dude carries up to three icons that say what the two of you share, each in one of two colours: brown for a match, orange for a strong one. No icon means nothing in common yet, or nothing to compare.
- Type (the flame) — reads both ways: your "I Am Into" tags against what he is, his "I Am Into" tags against what you are, plus the kinks you share. Three in common light it brown; five, with positions that fit, turn it orange. If your condom preferences clash, the flame stays off.
- Interests (the hearts) — shared hobbies and shared favourites (music, movies, games, books…), and the same mood right now counts too. Three in common light it brown, five turn it orange.
- Language (the speech bubble) — one language in common is brown, two or more are orange.
Tap the icons on any Dude and they say why — "Matches your type", "Strong interest match", "Same Mood", "Speaks English & German". His profile goes further: the Common ground card lists the actual tags, hobbies, favourites and languages behind each icon.
Two things decide what you see. The icons only read sections both of you filled in — a Dude with no tags, hobbies or languages earns none, with anyone. And a category you've switched off in your own Viewing Preferences hides its icon everywhere. Two minutes in Menu → Edit my profile setting your tags, hobbies and languages is the single biggest upgrade you can give your Discover results.
Match as a filter
Tap Match? above the grid and pick what you're after: for each icon, orange, brown or both. "Strong type match, any interest match" is three taps, and the grid keeps only the Dudes who earn exactly that. The same filter sits in the Feed, in Search and in your DudesList.
Search — when you know what you're looking for
Discover is for browsing; Search (Status → Search) is for hunting. Filter by the basics (age, distance, online, verified, with photos), by hobbies, languages, "I Am" / "I Am Into" tags, kinks, and health & protection choices — and by the same Match icons as Discover. Results come back nearest first.
Two things worth knowing: every filter works on what Dudes chose to share — hidden sections can't be searched, in either direction. And categories you've switched off in your own Viewing Preferences don't appear as filters at all.
Your DudesList — Hotties & Buddies
Found someone worth keeping? On his profile, tap DudesList and file him as a 🔥 Hottie or a 🤝 Buddy. The list is yours alone:
- He is not notified, and nobody can see your lists. It changes nothing about messaging or access; it's your personal address book.
- Your lists live under Menu → Hotties and Menu → Buddies, and Discover's Dudes filter narrows the grid to them. "Which of my Buddies is online right now?" is one filter away.
Who's real in the grid
Everyone. Only profiles with a human-reviewed photo and a verified account appear in Discover at all — the empty-profile bot armies that clog other apps never make it in. That's the verification promise doing its job where it counts.
