Photo Guidelines

What's Acceptable and Unacceptable on Your Lady First Profile

At Lady First, we are dedicated to creating a positive and respectful environment for all our users. To ensure that our platform remains a safe and enjoyable space, we have established clear guidelines regarding what you can and cannot include in your Lady First profile photos. These rules serve a dual purpose: they help maintain good user conduct and also increase your chances of making a memorable impression on the app, which is something we all aim for.

Lady First offers three distinct areas of engagement: Lady First Date for dating, Lady First Friends for socializing, and Lady First Network for networking. Accordingly, we have designed profile photo regulations that align with the unique nature of each category. Below, we provide an overview of the general guidelines that apply to all users on our platform, along with specific exceptions for each segment.

Universal Rules:

Photo Ownership: Only post photos for which you have ownership or proper permission.
Children in Photos: While your children are undoubtedly adorable, their images cannot be your profile picture unless you are also present in the photo. This rule also applies to childhood photos of yourself.
Nudity and Pornography: Absolutely no nudity or explicit content is allowed.
Illegal Activity: Avoid photos depicting any form of illegal activity, including drug usage or offensive behavior.
Swimwear and Bikinis: Swimwear photos are acceptable if you're outdoors, such as at a pool or beach. Indoor swimwear photos that resemble underwear are not permitted.
Underwear and Shirtless Photos: No photos in underwear; men should avoid shirtless pictures, except when at the beach. Think of it as dressing appropriately as you would when meeting someone in a restaurant.
Group Photos: Group photos are fine, but make sure you include at least one clear photo of yourself where your face is easily visible. We want to recognize you!
Graphic Hunting Photos: Graphic hunting images showing injuries or blood on an animal are prohibited. Non-graphic hunting images are allowed, but only of specific, commonly-hunted animals.
Firearms: Photos with guns are only permissible for military personnel or law enforcement officers in uniform. Given the prevalence of gun violence, we firmly assert that such imagery does not align with our values or platform.
Visible Face: Your face must be prominently visible in all profile photos. Please avoid obscuring it behind phones or hair.
No Watermarks or Text: Overlaying watermarks or text on photos is not allowed.
No Solicitations: Refrain from including coupons or special offers in your profile.

And there you have it! If you have any questions, please reach out to the Lady First Customer Support team [insert contact link]. We're here to assist you.

Why was my photo moderated?

At Lady First, we are dedicated to ensuring that your photos align with our guidelines. Within 24 hours of your photo upload, we carefully review the content. If we find any instances of violence, nudity, or violations of our guidelines, the photo will go through moderation. While we don't always require your face to be in the photo, we do expect the image to represent you. Additionally, we have strict policies against pornographic images, nudity, and blank pictures.

As a platform available on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, we maintain a stance against images that depict explicit sexual content, sexually suggestive poses with minimal clothing, or attire that wouldn't be suitable in public settings. In general, we do not allow content that is intended to be sexually explicit.
