The app

Four ways to go from
stranger to standing plans

A closer look at what happens inside the app.

01
Discover

Match on what you'd
actually do together

Swipe through women in your city, sorted by the things you'd want to do — wine nights, yoga, trying new restaurants. A "good match" tells you exactly what you share before you ever say hi.

02
Map

See who's out,
right now

Flip on your location and find women nearby who are up for something spontaneous. Neighborhood-level only, active-only, and it switches off in 30 minutes — open to plans, never tracked in the background.

Events & Meetups

A reason to leave the
house this week

Browse ticketed GDS events or drop into a casual meetup near you — dinner parties, coffee clubs, tennis on the courts — and grab a seat before it fills. Curated, women-only, and never overwhelming.

Ask GDS

Ask the group
anything

Need a hair stylist, a hiking buddy, or the best patio in Logan Square? Ask GDS and let the community answer — local, women-only, and actually useful.

For organizers

Built for the
women who
host the room

If you're already organizing dinners, runs, or gatherings — GDS gives you the infrastructure. Reach the right women, fill your events, and build a community around what you're already doing.

Whether you host once a month or every weekend, the app is designed to grow with you.

Reach
Get in front of the right women

Your events surface to women nearby who match your vibe — no boosting, no algorithm games.

Tools
Everything in one place

Manage RSVPs, communicate with attendees, and build a following — inside the app your guests are already using.

Community
Turn guests into regulars

Help your guests stay connected between events — and come back again and again.

Safe by design

Built to feel safe

Meeting new people should feel exciting, never risky. Every part of GDS is built with that in mind.

Verified, real women

Every member completes a selfie check at signup — automated face matching backed by human review — so the woman you meet is who she says she is.

Women only, by design

GDS is for all women, and trans women are welcome. Membership is reviewed by real people — because who's in the room is what makes it work.

You decide when you're seen

The map is neighborhood-level and active-only, and it switches off after 30 minutes. You're never tracked in the background.

Your data is never for sale

No ads, no data brokers, no cross-app tracking. We don't sell your information — it's written into our privacy policy, not just our marketing.

Questions

The questions
we hear most

Women in Chicago who want real friendships — not networking, not dating. New to the city, new chapter of life, or just noticing the group chat got quieter? This is for you.
For now, yes — we're proving it works in one city before expanding. If you're somewhere else, follow us on Instagram (@girldinnersocial) and tell us where you are; that's how we decide where to go next.
We're launching on iOS first to get the experience right. Android is on the roadmap — follow us on Instagram (@girldinnersocial) and we'll announce it there the moment it's ready.
Yes — GDS is a community for all women, and trans women are welcome. Every member verifies with a selfie when they join, and anything the automated check can't confirm is reviewed by a person. We're a women's space because that's the friendship gap women keep telling us they experience. The focus is what makes it work.
Every member completes selfie verification at signup — an automated face check with human review. It confirms you're a real person matching your photos.
No. We're building it as home for women-founded communities across Chicago — a single place to find dinners, runs, classes, and gatherings worth showing up to. Have a community you love? Send them our way.
If you're already hosting dinners, runs, or workshops for women, GDS gives you the infrastructure to do it better: event listings, ticketing, attendee messaging, and the group chats that turn first-timers into regulars. Book a demo and we'll walk you through it.
GDS is free. Event tickets are priced and handled by the host.
Most friend-matching apps pair you with just about anyone and stop at the match. GDS is built only for women — small groups, verified members, real-life events. Less swiping. More showing up.
Most ticketing tools just sell a ticket and disappear. GDS is a community that shows up before the door opens and stays after it closes. Curated, women-only, and built for what happens after the event ends.
