Prohibited Content and Behavior
Zero Tolerance Policy
The following behaviors result in immediate account suspension or permanent ban. We actively monitor for violations to protect our community.
Strictly Prohibited Activities
- Harassment and Abuse: Any form of bullying, stalking, threats, or intimidation toward other members
- Fraudulent Profiles: Creating fake identities, using stolen photos, or misrepresenting yourself
- Financial Scams: Requesting money, promoting investment schemes, or soliciting financial information
- Explicit Content: Sharing pornographic material, non-consensual images, or sexual solicitation
- Illegal Activities: Human trafficking, prostitution, drug dealing, or any criminal behavior
- Hate Speech: Discriminatory content based on race, religion, nationality, gender, or orientation
- Spam and Commercial Activity: Advertising products, services, or external websites without authorization
Recognizing and Avoiding Scams
Online dating platforms unfortunately attract scammers who exploit emotional connections for financial gain. Dating profiles requiring real name, age, location, and photos provide information criminals may attempt to exploit. Protect yourself by learning these warning signs.
Common Romance Scam Warning Signs
Be cautious if someone: professes love very quickly, asks for money for emergencies or travel, refuses video calls, has inconsistent stories, claims to be working abroad (military, oil rig, doctor overseas), or pressures you to move communication off-platform.
Protect Your Financial Information
Never share credit card details, bank account numbers, or payment information with anyone you meet online. Legitimate partners will never ask for money, no matter the circumstances. Approximately 80% of dating apps share or sell user data-always verify platform security features before signing up.
Verify Before You Trust
- Use reverse image search to check profile photos
- Request video calls before meeting in person
- Research anyone who claims a specific profession
- Trust your instincts if something feels wrong
Reporting Suspicious Activity
Your reports help keep our community safe. We investigate every report thoroughly and take appropriate action within 24-48 hours.
Document the Issue
Take screenshots of concerning messages or behavior. Note the username, date, and time of the incident.
Use In-App Reporting
Click the report button on the user profile or message. Select the appropriate violation category from the menu.
Provide Details
Include a brief description of what happened. Attach any screenshots or evidence you have collected.
Block the User
After reporting, block the user to prevent further contact. This protects you while we investigate.
Confidential Reporting
All reports are handled confidentially. The reported user will not know who filed the complaint. Your safety and privacy are our priority.
Profile Authenticity Expectations
Authentic profiles create trust and lead to genuine connections. Essential security safeguards include end-to-end encryption for messages and photos, two-factor authentication, and profile verification systems.
Photo Requirements
- Use recent photos (within the last 2 years)
- Include at least one clear face photo
- Only upload photos of yourself-no celebrities or stock images
- Avoid heavily filtered or misleading images
Profile Information Guidelines
- Provide accurate age, location, and relationship goals
- Write an honest bio that reflects your true personality
- List genuine interests and hobbies
- Be truthful about your occupation and lifestyle
Cultural Sensitivity and Respect
Cross-cultural dating is a beautiful opportunity to learn, grow, and expand your worldview. Our platform connects people from diverse Asian cultures with Western partners, and this diversity is our strength.
Approach every conversation with curiosity rather than assumptions. Ask questions respectfully, listen actively, and celebrate the unique perspectives each culture brings to relationships.

- Avoid stereotypes or generalizations about nationalities

Safe Dating Practices
Your safety is paramount. Follow these guidelines when transitioning from online communication to real-world meetings.
Meet in Public
Always choose well-lit, populated public venues for first meetings. Coffee shops and restaurants are ideal choices.
Tell Someone
Inform a trusted friend or family member about your plans, including who you are meeting and where.
Arrange Your Own Transport
Drive yourself or use rideshare. Never accept rides from someone you have just met in person.
Keep Your Phone Charged
Ensure your phone is fully charged and keep it accessible throughout the date.
Trust Your Instincts
If something feels off, leave immediately. Your safety matters more than politeness.
Take Your Time
There is no rush. Get to know someone thoroughly online before meeting in person.
