What 215 Ukrainian women
in Europe told us
In 2026, we surveyed 215 Ukrainian women who had rebuilt their lives in Europe. The clearest signal: of those who tried a dating app, 77% gave up — not for lack of desire, but because the tools were never built for them. That gap is the reason Adorée exists.

They had rebuilt their lives.
But not yet found their person.
These women crossed borders alone, built new careers, raised children in unfamiliar countries. They had rebuilt everything — except a life shared with someone. And the tools meant to help them find that person had quietly failed them.
One signal was clearer than any other: discretion mattered more than algorithms. What they wanted was not more matches or smarter software — it was to be seen, carefully, by serious people, without putting their private life on public display.
That gap is why we built Adorée — a private club, not a dating app, where a careful human introduction matters more than volume.
What we built in response
Every choice in Adorée traces back to this study: profiles that stay private, men reviewed by hand, women who never pay, and introductions made one at a time rather than swiped by the dozen.

Methodology: 215 responses collected across two waves in 2026 among Ukrainian women living in 18 European countries, all members of the eu4ua refugee community — no selection on relationship or employment status. Two figures that are often confused: 87% of all respondents use no dating app today; 77% is the share of those who tried one and then stopped (63 of 82). Figures are rounded.
