You write, not swipe
Nine steps: who you are, what you bring to the table, and at least three interests we can seat you around.
A social club for dating & friendships
Meet fewer, better
Every member is vetted by a person, not a filter. Bad behavior costs your membership. And if you're here for friendship alone, you're a full member of the club.
Applications are read by a person and answered within 3–5 business days.
How vetting works
A reference vouches
You name someone who can speak to your character — a friend, a colleague, a fellow member.
Identity, verified
Government-ID verification through Stripe. About five minutes.
A person decides
The membership team reads every application and answers within 3–5 business days.
The dance card
Attention, not volume
You send an invitation; nothing is said until it's accepted. Attention is the scarce thing worth spending.

I have been putting off writing this all week, which I am told is a good sign.
No pressure — but the long table on Thursday has two seats.
The club
Come for the table
Suppers, game nights, rooftop hours — real gatherings with dress codes, guest lists, and a waitlist that actually moves. Check in at the door; the club knows who showed up.
Friendship-only membership is first-class: the same club, the same standards, dating switched off.

The pledge
“Treat every member with kindness, honesty, and respect.”
Every member signs the same code of conduct before joining: zero tolerance for emotional abuse, shaming, unsolicited inappropriate content, lying about identity, racism, bigotry, or catfishing.
Members who break the pledge lose their membership. Full stop.
Fees
Paid, on purpose
A fee keeps the room small, the effort honest, and you the customer — not the product.
Membership
$20
a month
Everything: Discover, your dance card, messages, and every gathering. Friendship-only membership is the same club at the same fee. Your first two months are free.
No boosts. No paid visibility. The fee is the whole business model.
Questions
Asked, answered
How long does the application take?
About ten minutes if you have photos ready. Nine steps, and effort is the point — a person reads every word.
Why is there a fee?
It keeps the room small and the incentives honest. You're the customer, not the inventory — and your first two months are free.
What if I'm not here to date?
Then don't. Friendship-only membership is first-class: the same gatherings, the same standards, dating switched off.
What happens if someone behaves badly?
They stop being a member. The pledge is a condition of membership, not a suggestion.
Which cities are you in?
First tables: Savannah, Charleston, Atlanta, Brooklyn, Austin. Membership travels with you — each city keeps its own preferences.
What does vetting actually check?
Your government ID, through Stripe. Your reference, by a person. Your answers, for the effort and kindness they show.
The door
Ask to come in
If you're kind, thoughtful, and done with the churn, the application takes about ten minutes — and a person will answer within 3–5 business days.
