Meet Dattch, the Dating Software for Lesbians

Dattch
, a British dating software for lesbian, bisexual, and bi-curious women, has become available in the U.S. application shop. The app, built “for lesbians by lesbians,” does not make an effort to imitate the feeling of Grindr, Tinder, or OkCupid. Alternatively, the creators sought to create a dating software which is much better than the heterosexual and male-geared programs presently dominating the room. The outcome sounds like a dating app that will be better for

all

women.

“Dating is actually a very male-led area, and tech is actually a very male-led area. Whenever two come together, it isn’t really deliberate, it is simply intrinsic,” Dattch President and founder Robyn Exton told

The Telegraph.

To have off the regular style of online dating programs and websites, the group researched editorial, fashion, and travel web sites to determine exactly how ladies choose to procedure info. That designed ditching the au courant hot-or-not swipe method and as an alternative permitting users develop a mood board of the heart. In the place of stiff and stereotypical databases of interests (

You want food?! Get

out!), users create Pinterest-like panels that display their interests visually — like the specific publication they’re checking out, the ramen they just ate, and/or that mid-century coffee table these include coveting — all of these present simpler entryway points into discussion beyond “great face, wanna meet up?”

Dattch has also done out with usernames, because no lady (or man) requires to plan a night out together with  “Sweetteats69.” The female-friendly app in addition makes protection a top priority, and hires a detailed confirmation process to weed out creeps, trolls, as well as the confused males exactly who hold registering.
