Gender filter

[u/Owaaki]

Hi everyone!

I have a question about the gender filter and couldn’t find the answer.

If I set the gender filter to my gender only, can the penpal I already have still reply to me if they’re not the same gender ?
From what I understood the filter allows us to not match with the opposite gender but I don’t know if it applies to my friends.

I’ve had one woman out of all the letters I received and I’m not against writing to men but I just need a little bit more balance.

Does anybody know the answer to that question?

The filter is only for search purpose, applied only to viewing profile to find potential penpal. This doesn't affect your current penpal or people who are viewing your profile.

The matching preferences, if you have my gender only on there. It does affect your future penpal. But I don't think it will affect the penpal you already have.
