HAMILTON, Ohio - s4story -- Althea Dating officially launches today as a modern alternative to mainstream dating apps. Built for people who are serious about finding a meaningful relationship or marriage, Althea is designed around one principle: intention matters.

Most dating apps were built to maximize engagement — not relationships. The result is a user experience that rewards volume over compatibility. People swipe endlessly, match rarely, and build lasting connections even less often. Burnout is common. Real connection is hard to find. Althea Dating was built as a direct response to that problem.

Althea is not a general-purpose dating app. It is built exclusively for people looking for serious relationships and marriage. Every feature on the platform — from profile creation to how matches are surfaced — is designed to filter out noise and bring forward people who are genuinely compatible.

Key features include:

- ALTHEA Score: a unique profile authenticity system that evaluates how complete, honest, and serious a user profile is, increasing visibility for those who show up authentically.

- Verified profiles: every member goes through a verification process to ensure everyone on the platform shares the same intention.

- Advanced filters: users can filter by values, lifestyle, and life goals — not just age and distance.

- No ads, no distractions: the platform is built to facilitate connection, not maximize time on screen.

- Free and premium plans: available from $0 to $29.99/month.

Althea Dating is available today at www.altheadating.com for users across the United States and Latin America.

"I built Althea because I believe the way we connect online should feel as intentional as the connections we're looking for," said Lenin Santos, CEO and Founder of Althea Dating. "The current model isn't working for most people. We're building something better — a space where seriousness is the norm, not the exception."
