The Story Behind BARE

We started BARE with one goal — to make dating feel authentic again. Too many platforms push people into boxes. We wanted something different: a place where individuality is celebrated, and connections can grow without labels or limits.

We’re building something real.

BARE is for people who value open-minded dating, inclusive dating and freedom to redefine relationships. Those who want to meet others beyond convention, cliche, or easy certainty. People looking for more than swipes and scripted small talk.

Our mission is to bring back depth.

Our focus is on creating a safe, respectful space for non-traditional relationships alongside more conventional ones - because every kind of connection deserves to be seen, valued, and respected.

Meet the Team

The BARE team is a small but diverse group brought together by a shared curiosity about what makes people tick. Our backgrounds span journalism, marketing, filmmaking, psychoanalysis and coding, among others. What unites us is an open-minded approach to dating and to BARE itself - we’re curious to see how it will grow and take shape through the diversity of our user base.

Bare is your space. Your pace. Your kind of dating.
