Why am I getting likes/messages from people outside my preferences?
Your search filters only apply to the profiles you see in Match and Discover. They don't limit who can see your profile. Other users browsing the app can still come across your public profile and send you likes or messages, even if they fall outside your preferences.
To control who can see you, consider enabling "Hide Profile on Match & Search" under “Settings” > “Privacy”, which is available for BLACK and PLATINUM members. Once enabled, only users you've already liked can see your profile in Match, Video Dating, and Search.
