Questions, answered

The short version of how ssslither works.

What is ssslither?+

A new app for gay singles, couples, and thirds to actually connect, not just trade lazy "hey"s. Build a profile, browse people near you, and send a message request to start talking.

How does matching work?+

By message requests. Send anyone a short opener and it lands in their Requests folder. The chat only opens if they accept, so no one can message you out of the blue and the conversations you get are ones you said yes to.

Why does a chat only open when I accept?+

Because consent is the whole point. On most apps anyone can slide into your DMs, wanted or not. Here, a request waits in your Requests folder until you accept it, decline it silently, or block. A conversation only starts when you say yes.

Can singles and couples mix?+

Yes. Singles meet singles, singles meet couples, and couples meet couples. You choose who you reach out to.

How do couples work?+

A couple shares one profile, but each partner has their own login. When a message request is accepted the chat opens for both of you, so nothing happens behind your back.

Is it free?+

Yes. Everything on ssslither is free right now, with no ads: build a profile, browse your city, send message requests, and chat. Your privacy and safety features will never be behind a paywall.

Who can see my profile?+

Only logged-in members. Your profile is never public on the open web and is not indexed by search engines, and your email is never shown to other members.

What is Ghost Mode?+

It hides you from the grid so you can browse without being seen. You can still send message requests, and when you reach out that person sees your profile. Toggle it anytime from your profile, it is free.

What is a message request?+

A short opener you send to anyone, single or couple, with your profile attached. It sits in their Requests folder until they accept, decline silently, or block. Only accepting opens the chat, and your opener becomes its first message.

How do I stay safe and report someone?+

You can block and report anyone from their profile, and our team reviews reports. Blocking removes you from each other entirely. Always meet in public the first time and use your judgment.

Do you check that people are 18+?+

ssslither is strictly for adults 18 and older. You confirm your age at signup, anyone can report a profile, and we remove anyone we believe is underage.

How do I delete my account?+

From Account settings, anytime. Deleting your account permanently removes your profile, photos, requests, matches, and messages.

Is it open in my city?+

Yes, ssslither is open everywhere. Sign up free and the grid shows the members nearest you first. It is busiest in Las Vegas today, and every friend you invite fills your city faster.
