Antidate - review

Antidate solves the problem of female reticence and male eagerness! How? – by just accepting it. On almost all dating sites, especially the more casual ones, the men make all the running, messaging, liking and initiating conversations much more actively than the women. Tinder is the classic example, where men quickly realize there best tactic for success is to right swipe all profiles, knowing that if they do this for 100 girls, they’ll probably get 5 or 6 who like them back.

That’s a lot of thumb work! (unless you manage to download a robot to do it for you). Anitidate has the antidote: leaving the decision on matching entirely up to the girls. Sign up to antidate if you are a boy and just wait for the matches to come to you. Sign up as a girl and you can immediately see and chat to all the boys – in total control of the matching.

All female profiles are invisible to men until the girl likes them. The men, on the other hand have their profiles, pictures and locations visible to all women. So there is a lot of added protection for the women here, reflecting higher levels of female anxiety on these topics.

There are other security features as well, including an date stamp requirement for profile photos so that people have to be reasonably honest about their age, and a customer voting tool that encourages people who have been on dates with one and other to vote on how much their date was like the profile picture.
