Settings that help in Reno

  1. Set your distance to 40 or 50 miles. That covers Carson City, Minden, Gardnerville and Truckee.
  2. Loosen one filter. In a smaller pool, strict height or age filters cut out a lot of good matches.
  3. Check back. New people move to the area all the time, especially from California.
  4. Test before you pay. Paid plans only make sense if there are enough active people near you.
