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.
The best app to make friends is the one where you feel at ease. GirlsConnect was designed around three things: women only, real-life plans, and friendship — nothing else.
A selfie at sign-up, reviewed by a moderator: only verified women get into the app.
GirlsConnect is a friendship app, full stop. Everyone is here for the same reason: new friends.
Outings and interest groups help you go from “hi” to an actual plan in Chicago.
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.
Examples of plans, not a schedule: outings are created by members, so what’s available near you varies — and you can always host your own.
Post a Sunday brunch and see who nearby wants to join — a relaxed way to start a conversation.
Bike, run or walk along the lake with a few women who like to start the day outdoors.
Museum days are easier with company — and there is always something to talk about after.
Yes. GirlsConnect is reserved for women aged 18 and over. Every new member takes a selfie when she signs up, and our moderation team reviews it before she can access the app. That’s what keeps the community genuinely women-only.
GirlsConnect is built only for platonic friendship between women — there is no other mode. Every member is selfie-verified and approved by a moderator, and the app is built around real-life plans: outings, interest groups and their chats, so a conversation can quickly turn into an actual plan.
Yes, GirlsConnect is free: signing up, getting verified, discovering women near you, joining groups and outings, and chatting. A free account includes 10 likes a day, 1 superlike a week, and lets you host one outing at a time for up to 5 people. The optional Plus subscription (bought through the App Store or Google Play) adds unlimited likes, 10 superlikes a week, shows you who liked your profile, and lets you host larger outings, several at a time.
Yes. GirlsConnect is available across the US, including Chicago and its suburbs. The app uses your location to show you women, groups and outings near you. Our US community is still growing, so what’s on near you changes from week to week — and you can always start your own outing.
Like the profiles of women you’d like to get to know. When you both like each other — or when she accepts your superlike — you can chat privately. Every outing also has its own chat for attendees, so you can organize together before you go.
Your data is never sold. Your precise location is never shown to other members, and the exact address of an outing is only visible to registered attendees. You can report any profile, message or outing in one tap, and delete your account at any time. Details in our Privacy Policy.
