Do both partners need to create a profile on a lifestyle site?

One of the most common problems on older lifestyle platforms is single men creating fake couple profiles to gain access to couple-only events and social spaces. Requiring both people on a couple account to each pass their own identity check — and refusing to approve the account until both have — is the cleanest solution to this problem.

Every member completes a government-ID and face check through Veriff, an accredited identity provider. It's automated, takes about a minute, and JoinTheSwing never sees or stores your ID or face images — only a pass/fail result. Both people on the account each complete their own check, and the account is not approved until both have passed. The images go straight to the provider: JoinTheSwing never receives or stores them, only the pass/fail result and a receipt. The result is a verified couple profile that hosts and other members can trust.

From a practical standpoint, this means both partners need to be willing participants in the membership process. A profile created by one partner, with the other unaware or uninvolved, is not something the platform is designed to support — and it should not be, because that scenario raises its own consent questions.

Once both partners are verified and the couple profile is active, either partner can manage the account. Invitations, Messages, and event RSVPs can be handled by whoever is more active on the platform. The other partner's verification remains visible to hosts and other members as a trust signal.

If you are a single person rather than a couple, JoinTheSwing does accept verified single members. Single women and single men can join, though the platform is primarily oriented toward couples and the features reflect that.
