S'More Date provides an online dating application that fosters connections by de-emphasizing physical appearance. Its platform blurs user photos, gradually revealing them as individuals engage with profile content. This mechanism shifts focus to personality and compatibility, promoting deeper interactions. It integrates daily matching and facial recognition for security.
Founded in 2019, S'More Date is the creation of Adam Cohen-Aslatei, formerly a managing director at Chappy. Cohen-Aslatei observed modern dating's superficial tendencies, which often impede genuine rapport. This insight led him to build a digital environment where users prioritize understanding personalities and values over visual judgments, altering dating dynamics.
The platform targets daters seeking authentic, less superficial relationships. S'More Date's mission empowers users to form connections based on true compatibility and character. It envisions an online dating future where meaningful engagement and personal connection are paramount, fostering long-term relationships within a secure, inclusive digital space.
