Turkey

Free gay dating in Istanbul.

Two continents, and a crossing that counts as a decision.

Nobody in Istanbul yet.

This site is new. Whoever is first here will have a quiet few weeks and will be the reason it is not quiet later.

Istanbul is the only city on this site where the distance between two people can include a sea. Someone on the Asian side and someone in Beyoğlu are a ferry apart, and everybody who lives here knows what that means for a Wednesday evening. The list is sorted by distance for that reason, and the number is rounded before it is ever stored.

This site is in English, so in Istanbul it will suit people who read it comfortably. Everything else works the same way it does anywhere: a live selfie to verify, free messaging with no limits, and no advertising code on any page.

Your exact location is not something this site holds. What it holds is a point rounded to about a kilometre, written that way by the database before anything else sees it.

One email, when somebody joins. Not a newsletter, and not passed to anybody.

What everybody here agrees to

  • A live selfie, once. A pose the site picks at random, taken within sixty seconds, matched against the photos on the profile. The selfie is deleted afterwards — by us and by the service that does the matching.
  • No paywall. Messaging is free, all of it, and there is no tier that makes anybody more visible than anybody else.
  • No adverts and no trackers. There is no advertising code on this site, so there is nothing about you to sell.
  • Your exact position is never stored. It is rounded to about a kilometre before it reaches the database.

The full list of what gets somebody removed is in the community rules, and what is held about you is in the privacy page.
