Your photos, your age, your words. The person you text should be the same person who walks through the door.
Member principles
DateSmarter works because people show up as their real selves. These are the principles every member signs up to, short, human, and the foundation of a community worth being part of.
Six principles. One good community
You're a capable adult looking for something real. So is everyone else here. These principles keep it that way.
Treat people the way you'd want a friend treated. A “no” is a full sentence, respect it, every time.
Our AI offers ideas; you decide. The words you send are yours, and so is the responsibility for them.
No harassment, no pressure, no unsolicited explicit content. Enthusiastic consent is the only kind that counts.
What's shared in a chat stays there. Don't screenshot, forward or post someone else's photos, messages or details without consent.
If something feels off, report it. A quick tap helps us keep this a place people actually want to be.
Not welcome here
To protect everyone, some things simply aren't allowed on DateSmarter:
- ×Hate speech, discrimination or harassment of any kind.
- ×Threats, bullying, stalking or intimidation.
- ×Scams, romance fraud, soliciting money, spam or advertising.
- ×Impersonation, catfishing, fake profiles or stolen photos.
- ×Sharing explicit, illegal or non-consensual content.

What happens next
We review every report. Depending on what's happened, we'll take the right step, and for serious harm, we go straight to the strongest one.
For minor, first-time issues we may warn you and ask you to stop, and remove anything that breaks the rules.
We may suspend an account while we look into it. You'll be told what's happening and why.
For serious or repeated harm, the account is removed for good, and serious or criminal conduct is reported to the authorities.
The full detail lives in our Terms of Service. These principles sit alongside them, think of this page as the spirit, and the Terms as the letter.
When the match finally meets in person, the person they've been talking to is exactly who shows up. That's the whole point, and it only works if we all keep it real.
