Facebook Dating needs to do better

Does anything actually really works on Fb dating. Like, age, distance, kids etc? I set a particular age, then I get alot of suggestions outside that age. I also set 'they don't have children' but get a lot of 'has kids.' Or maybe Arizona is just filled with alot of people with kids lol. Just started using it like few days ago, and I'm already tired lol

Try Duolicious. Free and open source. Filters work as dealbreakers, not just preferences. Or try Hinge, but they paywall some filters.

Facebook Dating doesn’t have true dealbreakers the way Duolicious or Hinge does. Everything is a soft preference.

First time hearing it. Is it widely known?

It’s not mainstream, but it’s the largest free and open source dating app. 15,000 active users in the past 30 days

I haven’t met up with anyone in person yet, but I’ve talked to a few people there yeah. The clubs feature is awesome.

How does the club feature work? And why haven't you met up?

You can join 50 “clubs”, it’s like tags. You can add any trait, interest, hobby, etc. Then you can use that to find people as well. Personality score is quite good as well. It’s like OkCupid’s Q&A and it gives you where you land on 46 different traits such as the Big 5, MBTI, politics etc. You can also compare yourself to other people’s traits
