Trust & safety
Safe enough to be yourself
want is built so you can open up without being exposed, with verification, privacy, and consent running through every step.
The foundations
Designed in, not bolted on
The principles that shape how want works, from the moment you join to every introduction after.
Identity verified
Every member verifies their identity before they're introduced to anyone. Government-issued ID, matched to a selfie. Real people, confirmed.
Private by default
Your profile isn't there to be browsed. It stays private until a mutual introduction, then unfolds in layers, never all at once.
Mutual at every step
Nothing moves forward unless you both choose to. Voice note, photo reveal, chat. Every step needs a yes from both sides.
Zero tolerance
Harassment, catfishing, and bad-faith behaviour mean immediate removal. Every report is read and acted on by a real person.
Human support
Real people, not chatbots. If something doesn't feel right, our team is here to listen, respond, and act.
A trusted community
Identity checks keep it real. Our house rules keep it kind. Anyone who breaks that trust, or the spirit of want, doesn't stay.
