Inside the product
One account and three distinct profiles. The systems below keep discovery local and relevant while profile context, consent and safety boundaries hold.
Filters eligible adults using the current profile, audience choices, distance, visibility, availability and member controls. In Private, eligible nearby adults can appear in a list and on a privacy-shifted approximate map. A precise public location is never shown.
Uses preferences and optional answers to support more relevant introductions. It is a decision aid, not a guarantee, a diagnosis, or a ranking of a person’s worth.
Social: find your people, make plans. Dating: meet with intention, never by default. Private: discover discreetly, connect on your terms. Your name and your age travel with you. Everything else is built per Side: its own photos, its own bio, its own interests, its own answers, who can find you there, and what you hear about. Your Private gallery stays in Private and never shows up anywhere else.
OutSide is available under Social, Dating and Private when relevant. Each plan keeps the audience, purpose, visibility and privacy rules of the profile being used.
Prompts help members explain intent, availability, values and boundaries in the profile where those answers belong. A Dating answer does not become a Social answer, and a Private answer does not become public by default.
Mutual matches, direct introductions, Private requests, unread state, request filtering, and a clock on every new conversation: two days to start it, two days to reply, then it closes.
Age eligibility, verification state, blocking, reporting, spam filtering, trusted contacts and time-limited safety check-ins, inside the experience. SideOf does not replace emergency services.
Account-level and profile-level visibility choices are applied before age, city, approximate distance or map presence appears. Location controls are designed to fail closed when eligibility or visibility cannot be established.
Connection in context
Useful enough to guide discovery. Humble enough to leave the decision with the member.
