Who it’s for

Same idea. Different reasons.

Women and men come here for different things. We built it for both.

For women

Fun, without the drama

  • You set the pace and the rules.
  • Only want Verified men in your inbox? Switch it on.
  • Keep your photos private until you choose to share them.
  • Block anyone instantly. They won’t see you again.
For men

Real women who want this too

  • Every woman’s photo is checked by a person.
  • The Verified badge means she’s passed an ID check.
  • She’s here for the same reason you are. No guessing.
  • Clear profiles: what she likes, and when she’s free.

Join free

Say who you are and what you’re after. About two minutes.

Get checked

A quick selfie so we know your photo is you. Add an ID check for the Verified badge if you like.

Chat, then meet

Talk until it feels right, then meet somewhere public first.

Verification

Real people, kept private

Every member’s photo is checked by a person before anyone sees it.

1A person checks every photo

Before any profile goes live, a member of our team looks at the photos. Anything that looks borrowed, edited or fake doesn’t get through.

2A selfie check

We ask for a quick selfie to make sure the person in the photos is the person on the profile.

3An ID check for the Verified badge

Members can check their ID with Yoti in about a minute. Yoti checks the document and tells us it matched. We never see or keep the document.

4Reports read by people

Report a profile and someone on our team reviews it. Fake profiles are removed.
