Looks for fellows to give one a match (5)
I believe the answer is:
peers
'looks' is the definition.
(to peer at something is to look at it)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peers that I've seen before include "Looks closely at equals" , "Looks searchingly" .)
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
