Pare Dating – Community Guidelines
Community Guidelines
Last Updated: January 2026
Welcome to Pare. We built this community to bring back what dating should be: real, human, and safe. These guidelines ensure everyone feels respected, protected, and empowered to make genuine connections.
By using Pare, you agree to follow these Community Guidelines. Violations may result in warnings, temporary suspension, or permanent removal from the platform.
1. Be Authentic
Use your real identity
- Your profile must represent you accurately
- Use recent photos that clearly show your face (within the last 2 years)
- Don't use heavily filtered, edited, or misleading images
- Complete your profile honestly—about your age, location, relationship status, and intentions
What's not allowed:
- Creating fake accounts or impersonating others
- Using someone else's photos without permission
- Misrepresenting your age, marital status, or other key information
- Using AI-generated or heavily manipulated photos
2. Treat Others With Respect
Pare is a community built on mutual respect. We expect all members to communicate thoughtfully and treat others the way they'd like to be treated.
Do:
- Be kind and courteous in all interactions
- Respect boundaries—if someone says no or isn't interested, accept it gracefully
- Communicate clearly about your intentions and expectations
- Give people the benefit of the doubt
Don't:
- Send harassing, abusive, or threatening messages
- Use discriminatory language based on race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, or age
- Send unwanted sexual content or make unwelcome advances
- Continue messaging someone who has asked you to stop
- Ghost after confirming a date—use our feedback system to communicate respectfully
3. Keep It Safe
Your safety is our highest priority. We've built multiple layers of protection into Pare, and we need your help to keep the community secure.
Safety practices:
- Meet in public places for first dates
- Tell a friend or family member where you're going
- Don't share financial information or send money to people you meet on Pare
- Report suspicious behavior immediately
- Trust your instincts—if something feels off, it probably is
Never tolerated:
- Scamming, fraud, or requests for money
- Sharing or requesting explicit content without consent
- Stalking, doxxing, or sharing someone's private information
- Violence, threats, or intimidation of any kind
- Promoting illegal activities or services
4. No Ghosting Policy
At Pare, we believe in accountability. If you confirm a date and need to cancel or aren't interested in seeing someone again, communicate clearly and respectfully.
What this means:
- If you confirm a date, show up or give reasonable notice if you can't make it
- After a date, provide honest feedback through our post-date system
- If you're no longer interested, say so kindly—you don't have to ghost
- Emma, your date concierge, is here to help with difficult conversations
Repeated ghosting after confirmed dates may result in account review or suspension.
5. Appropriate Content
Keep all content on Pare appropriate for a respectful dating environment.
Photos and profile content:
- No nudity or sexually explicit images
- No violent, graphic, or disturbing content
- No promotion of drugs, weapons, or illegal activities
- No hate symbols or extremist content
Conversations:
- Don't send explicit messages or photos unless mutually welcomed
- Keep conversations respectful and appropriate
- Don't use Pare to promote businesses, services, or solicit others
6. Privacy & Consent
Respect others' privacy and always obtain consent before sharing information or content.
- Don't share screenshots of conversations without permission
- Don't share someone's personal information (phone number, address, workplace) with others
- Respect photo-taking preferences—always ask before taking photos together
- Don't record video or audio of someone without their knowledge and consent
7. Use Emma Responsibly
Emma, your date concierge, is here to help facilitate genuine connections and handle logistics. Please use her services respectfully.
- Be honest and clear in your communications with Emma
- Don't abuse the rescheduling system or repeatedly cancel dates
