Hello 👋 A while ago I was looking for a specific article on male violence and I stumbled upon this dating website!
They seem to have a very pro woman message, and these are Safer Date's selling points:
🇬🇧We carry out a full identity check to eliminate fake profiles and catfish BEFORE they are allowed to join.
🇬🇧We offer global criminal background checks for additional security.
🇬🇧We monitor all content and automatically filter out offensive messages and images before they reach you.
🇬🇧We have icebreaker questions to help you start the conversation, and we have a graceful goodbye feature to tackle ghosting too!

What makes me fall for them is that they have a whole article on male violence. I can't find it right now but it mentions the grindr killer among others.
Sorry if this sounds too much like an advertisement lol. Although I'm not dating yet the idea of this sounds awesome. Have any UK ladies used this? What was your experience? Are there still scrotes on this app lol
Thanks for sharing. I agree this app seems to have a pro-woman foundation. That's a good start.
I took a look at the website, and while I have not used the app myself (as I do not live in the U.K.), I will say that I have used a variety of dating apps, paid and unpaid, some marketed towards white-collar professionals, that were designed to weed out LVM. This included The League and Raya.
What I noticed was that while the apps succeeded in weeding out blatant LVM (uneducated, unemployed, broke, murderers, etc.), that was the only benefit they provided. They were not able to weed out liars, emotional/verbal abusers, gaslighters, fuckboys, cheaters, cheapskates, man-babies, misogynists, poly people, perverts, sexual harassers, stringers, and the severely mentally ill. It was the same sea of misogynistic men as on all the unpaid/plebeian dating apps, minus the obvious criminals. I did not gain anything from using these so-called "elite" apps and eventually quit all of them.
I suspect Safer Date may be the same. It may eliminate the men with criminal records, but it won't actually improve the dating experience for women.
Another thing: they don't proofread their copy. I spotted grammatical errors in their articles, and I've browsed for only a few minutes.
I’m open to it and will definitely check this out more thoroughly after work. I’m so tired of Bumble and Hinge, but meeting people in the wild seems impossible.
One of these days I think some FDS Software Engineers need to get together and create our own apps. I may make a post later asking everyone what they would like to see in their “perfect” dating app, just for fun.
Not perfect but undeniably a step up from what is out there. I don’t think it exists in the U.S. yet but I would give it a try. The woman who founded it was on Strictly Stalking. If you mainly just want to hear her speak on the app, skip to the 31 minute mark. I don't know if links work in comments so in case not it is Season 4 Episode 153, "From Stalking to Safety".

Also I give no fucks if "MeN wOnT uSe It". If women insisted on it, not all but many men will follow.
There will be less of them than there are on the older apps but also I'd rather get an accurate picture of a store's quality inventory no matter how limited, rather than a high volume of racks and racks of shit I don't want, to create an illusion of an abundance of Prince Charmings.
I wonder if they make the most profit off of paid background checks. The same way car dealerships care most about selling you the loan, not the car.
