MELBOURNE, Australia – A new dating app has arrived, one that says it “does not discriminate against love.” The app is called “Monogamish”, and its developers say it offers iPhone and Android users a platform with “monogamy and polyamory at the forefront” that promises a “judgement-free space where singles and couples can openly express their sexuality, individuality, and desires.”

Melbourne-based developer Bill Schwab created the app, after becoming frustrated with both the functionality of other dating applications and the hook-up culture that exists on them, rather than genuine matchmaking.

“The current online networking and dating landscape is broken,” Schwab said. “For singles and couples looking for real connections, the predominant networking apps do not have ‘matching’ criteria for all relationship types and in most cases, users can communicate with anyone.”

Schwab added that there is a “cultural problem surging amongst the online dating and networking sites where the accessibility of being able to speak to each other is resulting in toxic trends of racism, sexism, sexual phobias and threatening behaviors, negatively impacting the mental health of society.”

“For the polyamory and non-monogamous communities, the consensus is that a ‘good’ online dating platform that celebrates sexuality and embraces inclusivity with a focus on long-term relationships and developing supportive communities, does not exist,” Schwab said. “Monogamish is the dating application that solves these issues and more.”

In the announcement, Monogamish said the app has “created a safe and secure environment for people to meet and make real connections with a unique verification process that removes catfish and fake profiles, so that real like-minded people can meet each other adding value to the overall user experience.”

“We are passionate about helping our users build life-long connections, friendships and we hope for long-term relationships,” Schwab said. “We achieve this with exclusive in-person events, online dating programs and seminars hosted by sexuality and lifestyle influencers, special offers from our supporting brands and businesses and more to be announced soon.”
