Filtering with Player Data and Photon

I have each user choose gender and save player data when logging in. In the lobby set up with Photon I have a button called "match". When the user presses this button, I want him to join the room with any of the other users pressing this button. (A new room for 2 people will be set up and these two people will automatically join the room) And I want to know if users can do gender filtering. For example, when the user presses the male button on the filter bar and then presses the "pair" button, I want it to join the room with any of the male users who hit the "match" button. Is it possible? can you guide me

Yes, it can be easily done via PlayFab Matchmaking system. Please refer to Matchmaking - PlayFab | Microsoft Docs to get started.

If there are 2 fixed people for a match, you may set both min and max match size as 2 in the queue configuration. In terms of gender filter, there are few workarounds, but the straightforward solution is to add a string equality rule.

If you have never checked matchmaking system, please feel free to play around and please let me know if you have any other questions.
