Safety is part of how HoopFrog is put together. Photos go through automated screening before they appear, every profile shows which of its six checks are done (phone, email, age, photos, the optional live selfie and a friend's vouch) with a public Trust Score, and privacy controls are there from your first day. No screen catches everything, so the checks and the score are the signal worth reading.
Date with intelligent compatibility pairing, not endless swiping.
