Bad experience

I think there is a bug in the Arike app. I keep getting matches with profiles that don’t match my preferences, even though I selected different criteria. I’ve been using this app for about a year now, and the experience has been very disappointing. It feels like I need to be in my 20s to get better matches. Overall, a very bad experience
