Always I am indebted.
PATOLO is a matching site specializing in sugar dating.
We aim to be the safest place in the world to find a partner.
We have published new community guidelines.
You can find more details about the guidelines here.
back ground
Sugar daddy apps, where men and women directly exchange messages and arrange dates,
It increases opportunities for meeting people and streamlines the process of finding a partner, among other highly effective results.
However, since Patro launched its service in July 2023,
We've had more opportunities to hear about various problems our users are facing.
Previously, as a dating club, problems only occurred during or after dates.
At Patro, we've seen an increase in male and female members who experience disappointment, especially during the message exchange stage before meeting in person.
I went to all the trouble and effort to make a date,
The message content changed their mind and the date was canceled.
I was hurt by how the cancellation was handled, and I became overly cautious with future interactions with the same person.
Unintentional words or actions can lead to someone filing a complaint against you out of spite.
This is an example of the disadvantages incurred by our members.
Therefore, Patro aims to promote the search for a partner who respects and trusts each other.
Aiming to share specific behavioral guidelines for messaging and dating,
We have been working on creating community guidelines.
Message
We have established new rules, especially regarding messaging.
Below are some excerpts from the guidelines.
Message content
The messaging function is for determining whether or not you want to go on a date with someone.
This feature allows you to give a brief self-introduction, discuss topics related to the date, and ask questions about compensation and relationship conditions.
They frequently contact me on a daily basis for casual conversations, and ask me personal questions that involve my privacy.
This is not a place to exchange messages in the sense of making pen pals.
Please try to keep the number of messages to around 15 exchanges at most, and aim for efficient communication.
Please conduct negotiations on terms and conditions seriously and honestly.
Polite language
Before a first date, both men and women should use polite language or honorifics unless the other person explicitly agrees otherwise.
A refusal and a block.
If you feel you don't click with someone, politely decline their contact and then block them.
If you unilaterally block someone, they might report you out of spite, and you'll end up losing out in the end.
Cancellation after confirmation
Canceling on the day of an appointment not only wastes the other person's time, but it is also an act that hurts their dignity.
Cancellations made after midnight on the day of a date, regardless of the reason, will be recorded as a report on your profile.
In cases of malicious cancellations, we will include this information regardless of how many days have passed since the date.
* "Serious cancellations" refer to habitual cancellations, cancellations without contacting the other party, and cancellations made for personal reasons rather than work.
The same applies if you make arrangements for a date and time via message only, but do not formally ask to go on a date, and then cancel.
Violation report
If you encounter a user whose behavior violates the guidelines, please report them using the reporting function.
We appreciate your cooperation in ensuring the smooth operation of our services.
Any history of violating the guidelines will be displayed on your profile.
At Patro, we will continue to strive to create a safe and secure environment for our members to engage in their activities.
We would appreciate your continued cooperation and understanding.
