What does reciprocal matching mean?

Product-mechanics articles are checked against the current implementation and public policies.
Reciprocal matching means the system checks a potential introduction from both members’ perspectives instead of assuming one directional fit applies equally to the other person.
Preferences are checked both ways.
Age, gender, distance, and other discovery preferences can disqualify a pair before deeper ranking. A candidate who fits one member’s preferences may not fit the other’s, so the two checks are separate.
The score is directional too.
Photo-preference fit and other evidence can differ by member. Find Your Person computes a final score for each direction and requires both to clear the threshold, alongside the shared modeled-conversation gate.
Reciprocal does not mean guaranteed mutual attraction.
The system estimates fit from photos, answers, preferences, and activity. It cannot observe how either member will feel in person. Reciprocal scoring is a more careful filter, not proof of chemistry or consent to meet.
