Community Guidelines

Dude exists to help adults meet and start real conversations. These Community Guidelines keep the platform welcoming, safe, and genuine for everyone. They apply to all activity on the Service — profiles, video calls, messages, and beyond. By using Dude, you agree to follow them.

Treat every member with kindness and consent. People come from many backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives. Be courteous, listen, and respect boundaries — including someone’s decision to end a conversation or decline a connection at any time.

Harassment, bullying, threats, stalking, and intimidation are not tolerated. This includes unwanted, persistent contact and any behavior intended to demean, frighten, or pressure another person. If someone asks you to stop, stop.

We prohibit content or conduct that attacks or dehumanizes people based on race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, disease, age, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation. Hateful symbols, slurs, and calls for exclusion or violence have no place on Dude.

Be yourself. Do not impersonate other people, brands, or organizations, and do not create profiles using someone else’s photos or identity. Misrepresenting your age is strictly prohibited and will result in removal.

Do not use Dude to deceive or exploit others. This includes romance scams, phishing, soliciting money or financial information, promoting investment schemes, or any attempt to defraud members. Never send money to someone you have only met online.

Any illegal activity is banned, including the sale of illegal goods or services, human trafficking, promotion of violence, and — without exception — any content that sexualizes or endangers minors. We report unlawful content to the appropriate authorities.

Keep interactions genuine. Do not send bulk or repetitive messages, advertise external products or services, post links to malicious sites, or use bots and automation to interact with members.

Dude is an adults-only platform. You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. Accounts belonging to minors, or adults who enable minors to access the Service, will be removed. We may request age verification at any time.

Help us keep the community safe. If you see something that violates these guidelines, report it using the in-app reporting tools or contact our safety team.

• Use the Report option on any profile, message, or call.
• Block anyone you no longer wish to interact with.
• Email urgent safety concerns to support@dudesocial.in.
• Visit our Safety Center for more resources.

We review reports and take action based on the severity and frequency of violations. Depending on the situation, consequences may include:

• A warning and removal of the offending content.
• Temporary restriction of certain features.
• Suspension of your account.
• Permanent termination and a ban from the Service.
• Referral to law enforcement where illegal activity is involved.

These guidelines work alongside our Terms of Use. We may update them as our community grows.
