GROWLR is a global social platform designed specifically for members of the Bear community, which is an inclusive segment of the gay male population. With over 10 million members worldwide, it provides an easy and fast way for users to connect with other Bears both locally and internationally. The app is free to use, emphasizing convenience and reliability for its users.
The term "Bear" encompasses a diverse group of gay men, regardless of their physical characteristics. Some are hairy or muscular, while others may be heavier or not fit these descriptions at all. The platform promotes self-acceptance and celebrating individuality, encouraging users to be themselves without concern for labels or stereotypes.
GROWLR is also tailored for Bear Chasers—men who are particularly attracted to Bears. Whether users want to meet new friends or romantic interests, the app offers a variety of features to facilitate interaction. Messaging, live video calls, sharing pictures, and videos are all supported to foster genuine connections, whether at home or traveling abroad.
The app features a comprehensive event section listing Bear runs and bar events, alongside galleries, check-in options, notes, and more. It maintains strict rules regarding user age and content, prohibiting nudity and sexually explicit images. For additional support and community engagement, users can visit GROWLR’s Facebook page or their official website.
