Finally, to enjoy “Pairs” safely, please keep the following in mind.

As a global standard, never engage in activities that could be criminal!
As I often hear, forcibly asking a woman out or touching her body that she doesn’t want to is done and can get you arrested, so make sure you get that part right!

In addition, be sure to properly manage your personal information, avoid interacting with minors or married people, follow proper user etiquette, and understand the “Pairs” safety guidelines.
