Editorial purpose

We publish general educational content that helps adults evaluate dating services and approach dating with realistic expectations. We aim to inform, not to pressure or promise results.

Research and accuracy

We distinguish observed information from opinion, avoid invented statistics and qualify claims that may vary by location or membership. Because services change, readers should verify pricing, features and terms on the provider’s current website.

Affiliate relationships

Commercial relationships may influence which services appear on the site, but they do not justify false claims or hidden endorsements. Qualifying outbound links use appropriate affiliate disclosure, and pages explain that we may receive compensation.

Safety and scope

We do not provide individualized legal, medical, financial or mental-health advice. Safety content favors practical precautions and directs readers to platform tools, trusted contacts or local authorities when appropriate.

Corrections

If material information is inaccurate or outdated, we review and correct it. Readers can flag an issue through our contact page. Substantive updates may include a revised review date.
