Have you ever been catfished, lied to, or felt unsafe while moving from dating apps to WhatsApp/Insta?

Ask Thirties

Hey everyone,

I’ve been reading a lot of posts here about people getting catfished, scammed, lied to about age, or basic life details.

I’ve also noticed that a lot of women feel uncomfortable sharing their phone number or Instagram ID with someone they barely know, which makes complete sense.

I’m currently working on a small project around this problem called AirlockChat. The idea is to create a safer way to chat where basic details like name, age, and photo are verified, without the need to share
Genuinely want to understand the problem better.
