Wondering how to make friends in Chicago? GirlsConnect helps you make new friends near you: verified women, outings and groups.
Sign up and take a quick selfie. A member of our moderation team checks it, so everyone inside is a verified woman.
Browse the profiles of women around you in Chicago, and like the ones you’d love to get to know.
Join an outing or host your own, take part in interest groups, and chat to plan the next one.
Every new member is selfie-verified and approved by a moderator before she can access the app.
Report any profile, message or outing in one tap. Our team reviews reports and can warn, restrict, suspend or ban.
Your data is never sold, your precise location is never shown, and an outing’s exact address is only visible to attendees.
These are ideas, not a schedule: outings on GirlsConnect are created by members, so what’s on near you varies. Don’t see the plan you want? Post it.
