This dating disabilities, website only seems to have good intentions, but there are only so many people on it.
It seems like it could be hard for people to notice they are getting "winked" at and maybe all these people are being particularly picky.
Anyone use this website or know about it?

Thank you.

Did you mean to include a link or screenshot perhaps?
 
This is the first time I've heard of it.

I took a look and did a quick google search on their name.

My thoughts:
Despite allegedly being around for 20 years, it has virtually no presence, nor has it really been mentioned much anywhere. This is a stark contrast to say Hiki, which has, within the AS community, is a name that's well known (whether earned or not).

I didn't register (I've yet to use any dating or friendship sites) but I wasn't a fan of how their website didn't go too much into their number of active users (thousands, for a UK based worldwide dating site, would be very low), and I also didn't like the meat market feeling I got from it (showing profile pictures, names, location and ages of some alleged members even without being signed up and logged in).

In summary - possibly legit, but even if so, it looks like the owners aren't putting much effort into running or promoting it, and are probably just keeping it running for passive income.
 
I've used Hiki before, but it was pretty new at the time and there weren't really so many quality people on it.

Maybe I should try it again now?
 
Just tried Hiki.
It's improved a lot. They added a social community and they moderate. So, this creates and maintains a safe space. People are more likely to engage, and this social community helps people engage more slowly if they aren't ready to engage more immediately.

Also, I don't think this format would work for a general NT crowd because they would be turned off by the format or would intentionally say demeaning things for entertainment.

It works for an ND format because there's a piece of the community that wants the safer spaces. The connections that we do end up with in this kind of ND space are more likely to be quality people I'd want to consider being good friends with than in the regular world.
