Please read the rules before submitting any content.

1. BE POLITE. Please refrain from sexism, or generalizing men or women in a negative fashion.

2. NO HOOKUPS. This is **NOT** a place to find dates, hookups, or other sexual encounters.

3. NO ADVERTISING. Regardless if your blog/site/channel is about dating, if you are referring people to your own content, your posts/comments will be removed.

4. MARK NSFW POSTS. Talking about sex is fine. Graphic discussion will need to be marked with the NSFW tag.

5. NO PERSONAL INFORMATION. Don't hand out your personal contact information in posts. Likewise, linking to someone else's social media/dating profile/identifying pictures without their consent is prohibited and will get you banned.

6. NO SOAPBOXING. We allow venting, but this is not the place to talk about your social or political views, especially if they are blatantly biased.

7. NO REPOSTING. Do not delete your previous topics and repost them, or frequently post about the same thing.
