Short answer
Look for an app that lets women control who sees them, such as a women-only mode, and that is built around group hangouts rather than one-to-one swiping. Meet in public the first time and use report and block if anything feels off.
Why many women look for women-only spaces
Women often want a more comfortable way to meet new people, whether they are new in a city, travelling solo or simply tired of mixed apps where friendship and dating blur together. A space with clear controls over who can see you makes the first step easier.
What to look for in an app
Look for clear controls over who can see your profile, optional profile verification, easy reporting and blocking, and real activity near you. Group plans are usually less pressure than one-to-one chats with strangers.
How Women-only mode works on Konnectors
Switch on Women-only mode in your profile and only women can see you, while you only see women. It works in Travel Buddies, so you decide who sees your profile.
Women-only hangouts
Hangouts, trips and dinners can be set to women-only, men-only or everyone. If you want to meet other women for coffee, a walk or a night out, you can join a women-only hangout near you or create your own.
Write a profile that attracts the right people
Add a clear photo and mention two or three specific interests, such as hiking on Sundays or trying new cafes. Say that you are looking for friends so people with the same goal find you.
Meeting for the first time
Meet in a public place during the day, tell a friend where you are going, and arrange your own transport. If you prefer company, go to a group hangout first. Trust your instincts and leave if something feels off.
Report and block when you need to
Report and block tools are available on every screen, and reports are reviewed by the Konnectors team. AI moderation also reviews photos and stories to help keep the community respectful.
Where women meet new female friends
- Women-only hangouts and groups: coffee, walks, dinners, fitness.
- Classes with a mostly female crowd: yoga, dance, pottery, run clubs.
- Women's travel groups and women-only hostel dorms when travelling.
- Friends of friends: ask the women you already know to introduce you.
Travelling as a woman
Meeting other women first can make a trip feel safer. Turn on Women-only mode to find women travel buddies, join women-only hangouts at your destination, and read the UK government's advice for women travelling abroad before you go.

Making it stick
Friendships grow through hours spent together, so pick one women-only group or recurring plan and go back to it for a few weeks. Research from the University of Kansas estimated around 50 hours together to become casual friends.
