Getting started with dating in Groningen

Setup for Groningen is deliberately short: photos, a short bio, your city set to Groningen, and your distance preference. Nothing else is required before you can message anyone in Groningen. Set your radius to something realistic for Groningen first. A tight radius in a dense part of Groningen gives better results than a wide one that pulls in people you would never actually travel to meet.

Photos matter more than the bio in Groningen, but the bio decides who in Groningen messages you. One clear face photo, one full-length, one doing something you actually do — that is enough for Groningen.
