As an individual, you can choose whether or not to meet groups. If you are open to meeting groups, you will still have some dates with individuals; you will also potentially have some dates with couples or trios, but only when you match all of them.

Groups can also choose whether to ever meet other groups, or only individuals.

Example #1 -- Hot Men Action

An MM couple are looking for other men to date. Kaden is only interested in meeting trans men at PSD. His partner, Rob, is interested in both cis men and trans men. They fill out the group form together, and indicate that they are also open to meeting groups.

They will most likely have some dates with individual trans men (since those are the men who can match both of them); they may also have some dates with couples or trios where at least one person is a trans man (so that Kaden has someone to match with) but the others may be cis or trans, as long as Rob has at least one mutual match too.

Example #2 -- The Classic Bi Babe Hunt

A MF couple is looking for someone to date both of them. Then both individuals of the group would fill out that they are looking for the same gender category or categories. They would only match those who would be interested in both members of the group, i.e. bi people.

Group-group matching

Groups will only match as long as everybody at the table has a potential match (other than the partner or partners they are dating with!). If you are part of a group-group date, that doesn't mean everybody in the other group is a match for *you* personally. But all of them are a match for you or your partner(s), and at least one of them is a match for you.

This aspect of our matching is in flux as we write this (August 2019); we will strive to keep this page up to date, but if you have questions or concerns about exactly how this will work, we encourage you to get in touch with us and make sure your PSD evening will be the way you want.
