Naughty Singles FAQ

Naughty Singles is a compatibility-first dating app for singles aged 18 and over. Instead of swiping faces, you answer sentence cards about your real life, which build a compatibility profile across 40 categories. The app then shows you the real people most compatible with you, with a percentage and a reason why you'd connect. Photos stay blurred until they matter, and the chat is earned together.

Yes. Downloading, playing the cards, seeing your top, sending your first three invitations, answering others, the In Sync game and the free chat are all free. In the future there may be optional extras, such as refining your profile faster, more sends or highlighting your profile. You will never pay to unlock a person.

No. The app has four opt-in levels. LIGHT covers everyday life, values, family and romance, and it's always included. SPICY, HOT and EXTREME are optional, and you decide how far to go. You never receive a question from a level you didn't activate, and two people are only compared on the levels both chose. Many people play LIGHT and SPICY only.

It's for single adults aged 18 and over who want connection, chemistry and affinity rather than a catalog of faces. The app is open to women, men and non-binary people, and during onboarding you choose who you want to meet, whether that's one gender or several, along with your age range and what you're looking for.

Because a bio is a sales pitch, and personality is better learned by playing. Onboarding only asks for hard filters like age, gender and who you're looking for. Everything else, from your habits and values to how you flirt, comes from how you answer the sentence cards. It's more honest, and it saves you from having to describe yourself cleverly.

They're the three answers to every card. ME TOO means the statement describes you. NOT ME means it doesn't. DON'T CARE means it doesn't matter to you either way. That third option is important: not wanting something is different from not minding it, and the app treats them differently when it calculates compatibility. The buttons are in English in every language.

Every so often, a card lets you mark a statement as a deal breaker, something non-negotiable for you, or as something you can live with. Deal breakers work as a gate: if you marked something as a deal breaker and someone is far from you on it, that person doesn't appear in your top, whatever their compatibility percentage. Their deal breakers filter their top the same way.

Match DNA is your compatibility profile. Each card you answer measures one of 40 categories, ten per intensity level, and your answers give you an affinity in each category. The app compares categories, not individual sentences, so two people can be compared fairly even if they saw different cards. It's a transparent, deterministic algorithm, not a personality label.

The app compares your affinity with someone else's category by category, only on the levels you both chose. More intimate levels weigh more, and scores aren't blindly averaged: if you're alike in everyday life but opposite in desire, the total drops. Deal breakers act as gates. It's reciprocal, calculated in both directions, and it runs on the server.

Up to 25, and sometimes fewer. The top is elastic on purpose: it only includes real people who are genuinely compatible with you, rather than padding the list to hit a number. Playing more rounds sharpens your Match DNA, which helps the app find the people who truly fit you in both directions.

Because faces come last on Naughty Singles. In your top, photos are blurred so that compatibility speaks first. You see someone's clear photo when they send you a first contact and once you match. Your own clear photo follows the same rule: only the people who receive your questions and your match see it. Everyone else sees a blurred version that can't be un-blurred.

Nobody sees your individual answers from the card game. Your Match DNA is calculated on the server, and other people only see the result: a percentage, gems and why you'd connect. What someone else sees from you is what you choose to share: the ten statements you send in a first contact and the answers you reveal together in In Sync.

Privacy is built into the design. There's no geolocation, your affinity profile never reaches anyone else's phone, and your clear photo is only seen by the people you contact and your match. Nobody can un-blur a blurred photo. As with any dating app, use common sense when you decide to meet someone; our online dating safety tips are a good place to start.

Your top only shows real people, and nothing fictional is contactable. The universe counter you see while playing is an estimate of possibilities, not a list of profiles, so it isn't a promise about how many people are on the app. When you reach out to someone from your top, you're reaching out to a real person.

Through first contact. You choose ten of your own statements, five LIGHT, three SPICY, one HOT and one EXTREME, always only from levels the other person plays, and send them with your photo. The other person answers them with ME TOO, DON'T CARE or NOT ME. If they answer, it's a match. There's no empty “hi.”

Nothing bad happens. Silence isn't rejection: you don't get a “no” or a notification that someone passed. They may simply not have opened the app yet. Meanwhile you can keep playing rounds, which sharpens your Match DNA and your top, and reach out to other compatible people. Answering someone else's statements is always free.

Because on Naughty Singles the chat is earned together. After a match you play In Sync: one person picks a question and answers it, the other answers blind with YES, NO or MAYBE, and you reveal together. Matching answers fill your sync; different ones cost nothing. When you've filled it for the levels you share, the free chat opens.

Your levels are always your decision. You choose how far you want to go when you set up your profile: LIGHT is always included, and SPICY, HOT and EXTREME are opt-in. Nobody can take you past what you chose, you never receive cards or questions from a level you didn't activate, and staying lighter never lowers your compatibility with anyone.

No. You choose what you're looking for, a relationship, dates, something casual or just exploring, but it doesn't filter who appears in your top. Compatibility does. If you want something serious, the categories that tend to sustain a relationship, like values, family and romance, are all part of LIGHT and weigh in every match.

No. There's no geolocation and no distance filter. The community is organized by language, so the people in your top share your language and are there because of compatibility, wherever they live. Whether, when and where you meet is something the two of you decide. Learn more about our international dating approach.

The app launches in English, Spanish and Portuguese at the same time. Communities are organized by language, so you're matched with people who share yours. Pre-registering on this site now is the best way to get an email as soon as it launches.
