“We don’t care about Instagram followers, and we tend to vibe with people who also don’t care about that,” notes Kevitch. “Self-awareness is hot. So is someone who takes time to carefully consider their application responses. We’re looking for people who are intentional about being engaged with the platform and our events, not just looking for another dating app to aimlessly swipe on.”

You can typically expect a decision on your application within a couple of weeks, and if you’re accepted, you’ll get a notification from the app with a warm welcome. Even if you’re not approved, you’ll be offered a place on the waiting list instead of a flat-out rejection.

Being Waitlisted for Lox Club

According to Kevitch, there are several factors that might lead to being waitlisted rather than outright accepted. Those who do not take the application process seriously (no, emojis are not ever considered a real or appropriate answer), or who are very clearly only looking for non-committal hook-ups will likely be placed on the waitlist.

There are currently about 20,000 people on that waitlist, but don’t stress – Lox Club reviews this list weekly for potential new members, and they’ll send you a push notification as soon as your application status changes.
