Our Report & Ban Feature.

Posted in Welcome on July 6th, 2010 by cheri

We’ve been loving the positive feedback and helpful suggestions that our favorite flirts have been sending in. Our community is one of the best and fastest-growing that you can find here in the mobile dating network. And you’ve all definitely been on the ball with letting us know what you like and don’t like about Skout.

But now it’s time for us to ask for a little help!

Did you know that we have a “Report” button?
You can find it in your chats with other Skouts, in profiles that you surf through, as well as on the public pictures of flirts that you check out.

Basically, it helps us keep track of who the “bad guys” are.
But we can’t do it without your help!

If something fishy is going on (someone’s harassing you, someone has inappropriate information or photos on their profile, etc), just click that report button, and our Skout team will work towards investigating your report, and quickly banning and deleting the perpetrator.

But you’re a big part of making that happen! So don’t be afraid to let us know when something’s going down.

We want to keep our community real!

So have fun. Enjoy yourselves. And keep that little “Report” button in mind just in case. ;)

And as always? Happy flirting, Skouts.

Why Skout?

Posted in Welcome on July 1st, 2010 by cheri

First, let me tell you a little bit about me.
My name is Cheri, and I’m 22 years old. I do a little of everything — blogging, modeling, photography, etc.

And while you might think someone my age should be running around and having the time of their life, mingling with singles and mixing it up? I’m not. I’m something of an entrepreneur, so a lot of my time is spent working and promoting my brand. And with my busy schedule, I don’t exactly have the time to go searching for my quick flirting-fix.

And it’s not like there’s some sort of “hot singles” mecca out there for me to just waltz right into and have my pick of the litter at any time of day, right?

… Or there wasn’t.
Until Skout, that is.

It works like this.

Maybe you’re out at a bar scoping out the crowd, having a good time and knocking back a few drinks. When suddenly (yes, suddenly), the urge to hook up or flirt just overwhelms you! Fueled by the sudden need to meet someone new, you check out the Skout App on your phone and skim your options.

You see a photo of someone nearby who, like you, is looking to meet up with other flirts. They look pretty cute, so you check out their profile — Okay! They’ve got a few good pictures and some decent information about themselves. They look legit! So you send this person a chat message. Maybe a simple, “Hey”, or “Hello”. And when you two get to chatting? You’re able to break the ice, find out a little more about each other, ease into talking about what you’re both looking for.

If it turns out that you’re both looking for the same thing? You can trade numbers. Talk on the phone. And possibly meet up.

Everything is at your own pace!

But say you don’t feel like talking to this person anymore? You can simply close the chat (or block them) and move on to flirting with the next person out of the millions of single people out there who are still hanging around and still fishing for someone to talk to just like you.

It’s like speed dating on your own terms. Just weed out the weirdos and decide on who deserves your time!

And the best part is? It’s dating on the go.
At any moment in any place, you can whip out your phone and check your messages when you feel up to it! Skout has found a way to make dating convenient, and in this fast-paced world where people our age have way too many things to do and too little time to accomplish it all? Skout is the answer to our dating woes.

So why Skout?
For me? It’s because it’s fast. It’s easy. There’s absolutely zero pressure. And everything is on my own terms. I get to decide who I want to chat with, who I want to meet up with, and who gets to take some of my precious time. Not to mention, it’s just convenient.

And hey! You never know. You might even find that “special someone” during your search. ;)

But let me ask you! Why do you choose Skout? What is it that draws you to Skout, or to any other dating website? We want to know! Write in with your comments now.

And as always? Happy flirting, Skouts.
