Community Guidelines

1. Be Respectful and Kind

Our community thrives on mutual respect and kindness. We expect all members to:

Do

✓Treat others with courtesy and respect

✗Pressure others for personal information or meetings
✗Use offensive, vulgar, or abusive language

Remember: Everyone is here looking for connection. A simple "No, thank you" or choosing not to respond is acceptable. Respect that decision and move on gracefully.

2. Be Authentic and Honest

Authenticity is the foundation of meaningful connections. To maintain trust in our community:

Do

✓Use recent, accurate photos of yourself

✗Create multiple accounts or fake profiles
✗Catfish or impersonate others
✗Misrepresent your appearance, profession, or lifestyle

Profile Photos: Your photos should clearly show your face and accurately represent how you look now. Group photos are fine, but your main photo should be just you.
