The fine print

Terms of Use

Short, readable, and entirely enforceable by one very committed committee.

  1. 01

    This is a real website with a light-hearted premise

    Mad Dawg Dates is an independent, unofficial matchmaking project. It is not affiliated with any dating app, agency, or organisation, and no fee is charged at any point.

  2. 02

    One application per person

    Confidence is attractive. Repeatedly submitting the same application is not. Duplicate and spam entries are archived without review.

  3. 03

    Be truthful

    Applications are read carefully and references may be contacted. Misrepresenting yourself is grounds for immediate disqualification, as is any content that is harassing, explicit, or unlawful.

  4. 04

    Nominations

    Only nominate someone you genuinely know and reasonably believe would welcome the introduction. Do not submit someone else's private information maliciously.

  5. 05

    No guarantees

    Submitting an application does not entitle you to a response, a date, a shortlist placement, or an explanation. Emotional resilience is encouraged.

  6. 06

    The committee's decision is final

    Selections are subjective, occasionally arbitrary, and not open to appeal. Madeline retains absolute veto power over every outcome.

  7. 07

    Content you submit

    You confirm you own or have the right to submit the photos and text you upload, and that we may store them privately for review purposes only.
