How Do I Know Dating Profiles Are Real?

You can trust a profile more when three layers work together: verification steps for members, moderation of profiles and reports, and report and block tools you control. If something feels off, you can act right away.

Verification

Members go through verification steps designed to confirm a real person is behind each profile before they connect.

Moderation

Profiles and reports are reviewed, and accounts that break our respect and safety rules can be removed.

Report and block

Every profile has report and block options, so you can end a conversation and flag a concern in a couple of taps.

Encryption

Encryption helps protect your account details and conversations as they travel between your device and Mdates.

Safety tip: Never send money to someone you haven't met.

Honest Social Proof Is Our Standard

You won't find made-up star ratings, member counts or anonymous quotes here. Until we can share real, consented feedback, these are the rules we hold ourselves to.

Accurate

Any number we show is real and dated. If we can't verify a statistic, we don't publish it, and we never use inflated activity counters.

  • accurate
  • labeled
  • no fake numbers

Labeled

Sample content is always marked as a sample, like the profile preview above. You'll always know what's illustrative and what's live.
