I've spent years using various online dating platforms, giving me first-hand experience in understanding what makes or breaks a dating app. There are countless challenges with using online dating, but it's also so much fun to swipe through profiles and go on dates with strangers you never would've met otherwise.
I've appreciated the joys of finding a match who truly resonates with me and endured the frustrations of sifting through an overload of generic profiles. As a women-loving woman (WLW), I understand how difficult it is to use a mainstream dating app to find a female match. I'm happy to witness the emergence of countless WLW dating apps for women to connect in a safe space with clear intentions.
Beyond the struggles of using online dating, it's even more difficult as a WLW. Perhaps you've faced challenges in finding a platform that genuinely understands and respects your identity or that truly emphasizes quality connections over quantity. You're tired of one-size-fits-all dating sites and you want a platform that reflects your unique needs, where you can find meaningful relationships in a safe, welcoming environment.
I can relate to this need, as I'm tired of couples looking for unicorns on the women's side of Tinder, not to mention the cishet (cisgender, heterosexual) men who question or sexualize my LGBTQ+ identity in my profile. I hear you, and these issues are valid. Know that you're not alone, and your search for a quality dating platform tailored to your needs is both important and achievable.
Behold: Zoe, an innovative and relaxing way to online date as a WLW. Zoe has an amazing matching system, is free to chat, and needs more beautiful women like you!
Zoe
Zoe is a dating app for women seeking relationships with other women. This includes women who are already established within their LGBTQ+ identity, those who are exploring their new identity, and those curious about their sexuality and looking to experiment. This platform provides a safe space for these interactions, giving you a means to meet and communicate with women.
Zoe provides a straightforward way to match, chat, and hopefully meet up in real life! This takes some pressure off of the online dating process and allows you to enjoy making connections with people. Be yourself and casually interact with people to see where there's a flame, rather than presenting your typical stiff-and-nervous dating app persona.
This app has a user-friendly interface that's easy to navigate and aesthetically pleasing. It's only an app, so there's no accompanying website to swipe on. Since Zoe is still a bit new in the industry, there isn't a huge user base yet. However, it's gradually gaining more WLW for you to swipe on!

Zoe Profiles
It's super easy to sign up for Zoe and create a profile, even if you aren't used to using dating apps. Plus, you can get good use out of it without paying. Of course, there's an upgraded option with more features that you can pay for. However, Zoe allows users to swipe and chat with others on the free version. This ability to send messages for free is a missing feature from many other comparable dating apps.
Zoe uses a personality questionnaire to find compatible singles. Meet people that you'll vibe with in person, rather than just a pretty face from a dating app. While users on the free version must trust in the algorithm, paid members see the answers of potential matches. The paid version also allows you to rewind if you miss a match, view users who liked you to skip the swiping process, and allows you to use advanced swipe filters.
There's also a private mode, which is perfect for women trying to conceal their sexuality or presence on an LGBTQ+ dating app. As a paid member, you can hide your profile and only show up in the feed of singles you've already liked. You can also hide your age!
Users reportedly love the quality of singles on Zoe. People are willing to chat, make connections, and show a genuine version of themselves. What a beautiful environment!
Zoe Safety
Zoe takes privacy and safety seriously, starting with a verification process for every profile photo. This automated system verifies that you're a woman are are uploading a real photo of yourself. There's also an option to verify your profile, but it's not required.
As with any free dating app, there are plenty of fake profiles and bots trying to match with you. Determine who's real based on their photos and look for the little check next to their profile to show they're verified. To show your authenticity and personality, upload a video to your profile. This is more engaging for potential matches and gives them a sense of your vibes — while showing you're not a catfish!
Zoe Matching
What sets Zoe apart from other competing apps is its compatibility matching. When you set up your profile, there are plenty of opportunities to include aspects of your personality. This is refreshing after using dating apps that simply want to know your age, name, and location.
I appreciate how thorough the profiles are, as I'm drawn to someone by their personality rather than looks. It's often difficult to determine that I like someone based on a few photos and a bio on their profile. With a few attributes everyone adds to their profile, I have an easier time gauging whether or not we're compatible.
To find compatible matches, Zoe uses an algorithm to analyze your personality and swiping habits. The algorithm is impressive, providing more compatible matches rather than an overwhelming quantity of random ones. This approach caters to those of us seeking meaningful relationships.
Zoe automatically tells you how compatible you are with someone! When viewing their profile, there's an "are we on the same page" option which gives you a percentage of compatibility. Of course, this doesn't make or break your potential relationship, but the attention to match people that go well together is incredible. If you're highly compatible with someone, give it a shot. If Zoe says you're not compatible, you could apply the principle that opposites attract and give it a shot anyway!
According to therapists and relationship experts Linda and Charlie Bloom, "Opposites, or perhaps more accurately, 'complements' do attract. Introverts and extroverts, morning people and night people, impulsives and planners, steady plodders and adrenaline junkies, adventure-grabbers and security-seekers… [W]hile this can create some interesting challenges for most couples, these differences are actually the source of what is considered by many to be the source of the most important aspect of any successful relationship: chemistry."
If you want to dive deeper into the concept that opposites attract, turn on the "Opposite Match" feature on Zoe. This presents you with people who aren't necessarily compatible with you but those who think the opposite of you. This adds spice to your swiping journey and may even challenge your idea of a perfect match.
