Community rules

Short, and actually enforced.

A rule nobody applies is worse than no rule, because it tells people the site will not back them up. These are the ones we act on.

Who this is for

Gay, bi and queer men, eighteen and over. Trans men are men and are welcome here on exactly the same terms as anyone else. Arguing otherwise on this site is harassment and is handled as harassment.

If you are not sure whether you belong here — you are questioning, you are somewhere along the way, you date men and the labels do not fit neatly — you are welcome. Nobody is asked to prove an identity. Only that the face is yours.

Everyone verifies

Every profile is checked against a live selfie before it can be seen. There is no way to skip it, no paid tier that skips it, and no exception for anyone. The whole site is built on that being true without exception.

What gets you removed

• Pretending to be someone you are not, in a photo or in a conversation.
• Sending sexual images to someone who has not said they want them. Photo sending is off by default in every conversation for exactly this reason.
• Screenshotting someone and posting them elsewhere. This can out people and it can get them hurt.
• Any threat to expose, out, or blackmail. Immediate removal, no warning, and we will help the person reported to it.
• Racism, transphobia, and dressing either up as a preference in your profile text.
• Anyone under eighteen, and any sexual content involving a minor. Reported to the authorities, always.
• Selling anything: escorting, drugs, subscriptions, crypto, a link in your bio.

Blocking and reporting

Blocking is symmetric and silent. Once you block someone, neither of you sees the other again anywhere on the site, and they are not told.

Reports are read by a person, not a queue that closes itself. You will be told what happened. If someone is threatening you, report it and say so in the detail box — those go to the top.

Your safety, honestly

Verification proves a face matches a profile. It does not prove somebody is kind, honest, or safe to be alone with. Meet in public the first time, tell somebody where you are going, and do not let anyone talk you out of either.

Nobody on this site will ever ask you for money, and no genuine account needs your bank details, your ID, or a photo you would not want made public. If a conversation turns that way, report it.

What happens to your data

Covered in full on the privacy section. The short version: no legal name, no phone number, no exact location, no advertising code anywhere in the site, and nothing sold to anybody. Close your account and all of it goes within seven days.
