5'8"+ join as "Members," and can match with other Members or with "Guests." Guests are shorter people interested in "dating-up." Everybody has the option to quickly and easily verify their height through DateUp's unique height-verification process. The idea of DateUp was sparked by the clear difficulty that tall women face when dating. In particular, it can be difficult for tall women to find other tall men or shorter men that are comfortable with dating-up. DateUp offers a safe place for tall people to find height-compatible matches with other tall people nearby, or with shorter people that want to date-up. DateUp is intentionally designed to create a balance between an exclusive and inclusive experience.
