Dating in Antarctica: questions and answers
Is online dating in Antarctica free on YADate?
Yes. YADate is a free online dating site, in Antarctica and everywhere else: profiles, search filters, likes, messages, voice messages and gifts cost nothing, and there is no premium plan. The only limits are daily caps against spam, such as 40 new conversations a day.
Are the profiles in Antarctica real?
There are no fake profiles here: YADate doesn't create them or chat on anyone's behalf. Photos go live only after a moderator approves them, every account confirms an email address, and reports are reviewed by people. If someone asks for money or rushes you onto another app, report them — a moderator will look into it.
Can I date someone who lives outside Antarctica?
Yes. In the filters you can search around any city in the world, not only in Antarctica.
