How VegStyle works

VegStyle is a dating site for people who live vegetarian, vegan, flexitarian and similar, and for those who respect this way of eating. It combines private dating with communities of people who eat the same way. Signing up and every feature are free.

Three short steps, just tapping:

What do you eat? Pick your eating style. We will offer you a community of people who eat the same way.
Who are you looking for? Who you are, who you are looking for and what kind of relationship.
Where are you? Your town, nickname, e-mail, password and your photo.

Once you confirm your e-mail, you are in. You fill in the rest of your profile bit by bit, whenever you like: every day we offer you one short question, which you can also skip.

Your profile as a plate

Instead of a percentage you have a plate. Every completed part of your profile adds an ingredient. A full plate means a better position in the daily suggestions. The heart of your profile is My favourite dish with its story. It is the best way to start a conversation.

People around you

People with filters by age, gender, diet, distance and type of relationship.
Member map with photos and a distance filter. The map only ever shows a rough spot in your town, never an address. You choose whether you appear on the map with a photo, without one, or not at all.
3 suggestions a day: every morning three people picked by diet, distance and taste match.
Taste match: a short game, would you eat it? (coriander, tofu, durian, olives). From the answers we work out how well your tastes match.

A carrot instead of a like

When someone catches your eye, send them a carrot. If they send one back, it is mutual and you both see it. You have five carrots a day, so they mean something.

Messages

Private messages with retro vegetable smileys. You decide whether everyone can write to you or only your connections. Turn on phone notifications with one tap.

Communities by diet

Vegetarians, vegans, raw food, flexitarians, fruitarians, health diet, colourful food and the Joint Discussion. In the communities you share recipes, photos, tips and experience. Every week there is a Weekly Challenge, for example the most colourful plate.

Recipes their authors make public are in the community cookbook, readable without signing in.

Meeting in person

Veggie table: a shared dinner, cooking, a trip or a market visit for 4 to 8 people. Always in a public place; only signed-in participants see the exact spot.
Date tips: vegan and vegetarian places recommended by members. Send the invitation “Shall we go here?” right in a message with one tap.

Safety

VegStyle is a place where nobody has to fear being laughed at for what they eat.

Every member has their own photo on the profile.
Verified profile: a selfie with a gesture is checked by an administrator and then deleted. The profile keeps a green badge.
Swear words and insults are caught by a filter before a message is sent.
You can block or report anyone. Reports are handled by a moderator.

Your data

You decide what is visible on your profile and to whom. Sensitive details are optional and only you see them until you change it. We remove metadata, including location, from photos. We do not sell data or send advertising. Details are in the Privacy policy.

Who it is for

VegStyle is for people over 18 and is meant for dating between men and women. We build on respect, responsibility and long-term relationships.
