The "search profiles" field blocks in admin are backwards to the "join form" "edit profile" and "view profile" blocks and this is causing SEVERAL issues...
Across the site...
ALL of the "I am" fields SHOULD be a single item chooser. Meaning (radio buttons), (drop-down menu) etc. Because of course, you can only be ONE sex.
And, ALL of the "LookingFor" fields SHOULD be a multiple chooser. Meaning (checkboxes), (multiple select box) etc. Because you might be looking for several orientations.
So, if i do the below...
In Admin / Builders / Fields Builder / Join Form
If i make the JOIN form with...
"I am" (radio buttons)
"Looking For" (checkboxes)
Then automatically, on Site Front, all of the SEARCH FORMS change to...
"I am" (checkboxes)
"Looking For" (drop-down menu)
