Featured in the FAIRLADY magazine, Smooches is gaining recognition for its innovative approach to modern dating. Founded by Ruahan Naudé and Dr Lize Naudé, this platform goes beyond swiping, offering a meaningful space for genuine connections.
Despite being more connected than ever, many people experience deep loneliness. The demands of modern life, combined with the isolating aspects of digital communication, have left countless individuals longing for genuine companionship. Recognising this, Ruahan and Lize set out to create a space where singles could find not just dates, but meaningful relationships rooted in shared values and mutual understanding. Their mission was simple yet profound: to combat loneliness by offering a safe, reliable way to connect.
At the heart of Smooches lies a comprehensive questionnaire and a sophisticated matching algorithm. The questionnaire goes beyond surface-level preferences, diving into users’ personalities, values, and relationship goals. By anaylsing this information, the algorithm identifies matches with a high likelihood of compatibility.
- In-Depth Questions: The questionnaire explores key aspects such as long-term aspirations, personality traits and interests.
- Tailored Matching: Answers provided assist in the matching process, ensuring users are paired based on meaningful criteria rather than just appearances.
- User-Friendly Experience: The questionnaire is designed to be easy to understand and navigate, which minimises frustration and encourages users to answer questions truthfully.
We ensure a secure environment for meaningful connections with rigorous verification step, including:
- ID Checks: This vital step ensures each profile belongs to a real person.
- Online Meeting: Each user undergoes an online verification meeting with a Smooches consultant to confirm that they are who they say they are, and to weed out anybody that may not have genuine intentions.
Only after completing the questionnaire and verification process, will users be able to view the profiles of compatible matches, which means users are not exposed to everybody on the platform, unlike swipe-based apps where profiles are publicly accessible.
Being featured in FAIRLADY magazine highlights Smooches’ commitment to fostering genuine relationships. By addressing loneliness, leveraging innovative technology, and prioritising user safety, we’ve redefined online dating with care and integrity.
