This Dating App in Singapore Is Made for Those ‘Picky’ in Finding Partners

Exhausted from swiping left and right? Dating apps have become a popular medium to conveniently meet new people who could potentially become your romantic partner, even if they are in different places. Although dating apps have a reputation for being a haven for many f-boys on the lookout for their next conquest or to quench their thirst, there are still successful dating app stories that will convince you that it is possible to fall in love at first swipe.

For serious relationship seekers in Singapore, we’ve found this dating app, which has been around for almost a year and was designed specifically for singles who have been described as "picky.” After all, having high expectations isn’t always a bad thing, especially when you’re just trying to protect your inner peace and refuse to tolerate emotional or physical abuse in a relationship. 

The League is a rich-featured dating app in Singapore that promotes exclusivity among online daters.

Founder and CEO of The League Amanda Bradford shared on LinkedIn the mission of the matchmaking app, clearing the company’s reputation of any elitist connotations associated with voicing their mission.

“The couples that we create, even if small in absolute numbers right now, ideally will go on to successfully demonstrate that dual-career relationships are not only possible, theyare preferable,” Bradford said.

“If we open the gates too wide and too fast, we risk becoming like every other dating app out there where the men judge women on their looks and the women struggle to find men who value their intelligence and support their ambition. And then our mission has failed,” she added.

The League places high value on its users’ time, that’s why it handles the scouting for you by simply providing your phone number and everything else will follow. If this dating app in Singapore has piqued your interest, we’ve provided a rundown of its main features for the best user experience possible.

Efficient Matching

The League hosts a happy hour, but instead of offering free-flowing beer or discounted drinks, it provides users with a list of “prospects” to review using the app. It makes it possible for users to meet more individuals based on their tastes, so that nobody's time is wasted in the process.

The League believes in quality over quantity by sending out daily (but finite) recommendations that are tailored to one’s preferences. Users can set their “ultra-specific preferences” to save themselves time and effort when swiping through options.

In line with this, this dating app in Singapore allows you to meet or match with up to three other users who are located within your current location. This allows you to go on a series of mini dates to save time and energy, especially when you’re on a short vacation.

Balanced and Authenticated Community

The League employs a sophisticated screening and monitoring system for users who are looking for long-term relationships. This is done in order to maintain balance and give users more control over their dating lives. Rest assured, all users are guaranteed authenticated as The League will do the LinkedIn stalking for you. This topic will be covered in greater detail later.

Politeness, Not Games

If you swiped right and matched with someone but did not message them, you run the risk of getting a high flakiness score and being deprioritised in the matching algorithm. Your “matches” will expire after 14 days of being inactive.

Safety is also an important factor, which is why The League has a 1:1 video chat feature. It reduces the chance of getting catfished before meeting your date in person, and you don’t need to exchange phone numbers if you’re uncomfortable.

Moreover, League users have the option to add a 10-second video to their profile, which can help them stand out from the rest. Users can be as creative as they can to get prioritised in the matching algorithm, which increases their like rates.

Smart Blocking

When we talked about LinkedIn stalking, this is what we meant. This dating app uses LinkedIn to protect one’s privacy, as well as to show mutual connections between users while you build your profile. 

The League ensures that it has no access to any of your contacts or their email addresses. The app will only store your contacts’ names and unique IDs to show in your mutual friends list, while excluding or automatically blocking others (including your family or coworkers) in your matching algorithm.
