Our Community Standards
These principles foster a respectful environment. They're built on mutual respect, not legal advice.
- Consent is non-negotiable. Proceed only with a clear, enthusiastic yes. Uncertainty means stop.
- Harassment isn't tolerated. Repeated contact after being told no, threats, or coercion will result in removal.
- Exploitation is prohibited. We have zero tolerance for content involving minors or non-consensual sharing. Report suspected crimes to authorities.
- Authenticity matters. Faking your age, using stolen photos, or catfishing erodes trust for everyone involved.
- Privacy is paramount. Never share someone's personal details, images, or identifying information without their explicit permission.
Five Habits for Daily Discretion
- Compartmentalize: Use a separate browser profile, a dedicated email, and scheduled times to keep this part of your life distinct.
- Silence Alerts: Turn off lock-screen previews and banner notifications for dating apps, especially when others might glance at your phone.
- Share Strategically: Omit your workplace, home address, and daily routines from your profile. Scrutinize photo backgrounds for identifiable clues.
- Keep Conversations Balanced: Be cautious of anyone pushing to meet immediately, send images, or question your boundaries.
- Conduct Monthly Audits: Briefly review app permissions, cloud sync settings, and any shared devices to prevent accidental exposure.
A Checklist Before You Meet
1. Start in Public
Choose a well-populated cafe or similar spot for a first meeting. Avoid private homes until you feel at ease.
2. Inform a Friend
Let someone you trust know roughly where you'll be and when, without oversharing private details.
3. Control Your Transport
Use your own car or a rideshare. Having an independent way home makes leaving straightforward if needed.
4. Monitor Substances
Stay alert. Be wary of open drinks and keep your own consumption in check.
5. State Your Limits
Only agree to what feels right. You can change your mind or withdraw consent at any moment.
6. Plan Your Aftercare
If something feels off, note the details privately. Block if necessary, and reach out to Support.
Managing Conversations Safely
Establish Expectations
Mention your preference for discretion and your preferred pace early. It helps filter incompatible matches efficiently.
Recognize Pressure Tactics
Immediate requests for money, "verification" photos, or switching to other platforms are common red flags.
End Interactions Cleanly
A brief, polite message is enough. If someone persists, blocking is a reasonable and effective step.
Managing Photos & Identity
Scrub Identifying Details
Check for company logos, distinctive tattoos, street signs, or reflections that could reveal your identity.
Verify Profile Pictures
If photos seem overly polished or generic, a reverse image search can reveal if they're sourced from elsewhere.
Check Cloud Settings
Ensure photos from dating apps aren't set to auto-upload to a cloud service shared with family or partners.
