Show HN: Pare – would you let strangers play matchmaker for you?

nanamanso1 Sunday, March 01, 2026

Pare is a dating site where users matchmake for each other. Instead of swiping on your own feed, you get presented with 3 profiles and you decide based on the information presented which candidate profile is the best fit for the focus profile.

Demo on the landing page.

Currently NYC only, but hope to expand as this takes off. All users on other cities get put on a waitlist for now.

Some things I need feedback on:

GTM - I posted this on the r/nyc subreddit and promptly got shadowbanned from the entire website, but not before a couple people told me to fuck off (lol). - X/Twitter is a black hole for me since I created an account for the first time ever in January, so I'd appreciate some GTM advice.

Pricing - Currently free, but I plan to price at $10 a season (~1 week), is that too high or too low? Why? I was aiming to price competitively to standard premium options on other dating apps. Also this is not a subscription (hate those). - Also Stripe told me that dating apps are restricted enterprises and my account is being closed so I need a new payment processor.

General - If you’ve seen similar approaches (dating, hiring, recsys, rank aggregation), I’d appreciate pointers.

If you have constructive feedback I'm all ears.
