Common questions
How active is the Barentu pool?
Member numbers in Barentu move with the time of day more than most people expect, and check at two different times before deciding the local pool is empty.
Does anyone else see what I send in Barentu?
Messages stay between the two people in the conversation, and profile photos are public, but conversations are not.
Can I filter matches to Barentu only?
Turn on location matching or name Barentu yourself, then adjust the radius, and results start inside Barentu and only spread into Eritrea when local activity runs out.
I have never used a dating site — where do I start in Barentu?
Put up a recent photo that actually shows your face, then write a real bio, and avoid a generic opener; reference something you read on their profile.
Do I have to pay to message people in Barentu?
Nothing in Barentu sits behind a card form — browsing and messaging are both free, and messaging is not rationed by a daily like limit.
