We’re ASKWHO. It doesn’t mean much to you now but it soon will. We’re on our way to shake up the Dubai social scene. We will help you make real connections, discover your interests and make this place your home. Here’s everything you need to know.
The Facts.
Today, we’re more “connected” than ever. So why do 71% of active social media users feel lonely? This is significantly higher than the people who don’t use social media at all. It gets worse because this number is rapidly rising. So this isn’t just a problem, it’s an epidemic.
Having hundreds or even thousands of followers on social media is just a facade of popularity. The realisation that you may not have a real connection with these people can negatively affect our mental wellbeing. So it’s time for change – and we’re starting with Dubai.
The total expat population in UAE in 2021 is 8.84 million, which is approx. 89% of the population. But, people only stay on average for 2-3 years. That does NOT make it easy to make friends.
You might live in an apartment block where no one speaks your language. You might work remotely and have no access to an in-person office. Whatever your situation – we want to make it easier for you to find your tribe.
Our Mission.
Forget followers, find friends. We are done with toxic, lonely social media that actually disconnects us. We want more, and you deserve more. We want to give you an empowering, supportive and inclusive platform – and you can help us make it happen.
With ASKWHO, make true connections that last a day, a night, or a lifetime. Find new friends who are passionate about the same interests as you. Ask people who care about your burning questions and get to know Dubai like you’ve lived here your whole life.
Let’s transform your social life – together.
For You.
At the heart of our mission is you. We keep talking about making real connections – but how? Getting started couldn’t be easier. Just create your profile and off you go.
ASKWHO has specific groups tailored to your interests. Join as many as you like and talk to like-minded people who may also be living in a new place and discover the city together. Follow different niche topics and get ready to take virtual connections into the real world.
Share, ask, recommend – whatever you’re into, get involved, discover and explore. Are you buzzing? You should be. Ask questions about Dubai, life, relationships, and everything in between. Get answers from experienced locals, complete newbies, and from people you never thought you’d speak to.
