Cosplay Dating
Zlobby (pronounced 'the lobby') brings together cosplay and pop culture lovers. You build a detailed profile, you match on shared universes and fandoms, then you talk about your next builds, conventions and favourite characters. For love, friendship, or simply sharing your passion with fellow otaku and pop culture fans.
Meet someone who loves the same universes
Cosplay is hours of crafting, late-night sewing sessions, reference hunting, and that rush when you finally suit up before a convention. Hard to capture all of that in two photos on a mainstream app. Zlobby flips it around: your passions come first.
Your profile is about your characters, your universes, the fandoms that make you tick. So you meet people you already have a thousand things to say to, and conversations last because they start with something real, not just a swipe.
What you get on Zlobby
Features built for the cosplay community, with no false promises: here is what actually exists today.
Match on universes
The algorithm connects profiles that share common universes, fandoms and passions: cosplay, anime, manga, video games. Not just a photo.
Truly detailed profiles
Characters you've cosplayed, favourite series, conventions you attend, the relationship types you want: you show who you really are.
AI + human moderation
Photos and content go through AI moderation, backed by human review, for a respectful community. Cosplay is never consent.
Conversations that last
Private messaging, posts and comments: enough to get to know each other beyond the swipe.
For love, friendship or the love of the craft
The dating section is optional and you turn it on whenever you want. You can use Zlobby just to connect with other geeks like you, or widen your search to all gamers and pop culture fans. You decide how you want to meet people.
