'Siren' is a harassment-free dating app that ensures all interactions are respectful. While there are a wide variety of dating apps to choose from, many users report unpleasant interactions with others. This app helps protect users from bad behavior by ensuring that individuals are focused on making meaningful connections.
Unlike other dating apps, Siren gives women the power to start a conversation with a potential match. Women can also see a photo of each man, while the male daters are only able to view a blurry photo of each woman. Once a woman has reached out to a potential match, the pair can then determine whether or not to arrange a date. As founder Susie Lee explains, giving women the upper hand causes "a psychological shift from the negative swipe-to-reject gesture to a positive opt-in action." In turn, the platform ensures that all interactions are respectful.
