Description
Grindr is the world’s #1 free dating app serving the LGBTQ community. If you’re gay, bi, trans, queer, or even just curious, Grindr is the best and easiest way to meet new people for friendships, hookups, dates, and whatever else you’re looking for.
On a trip? Grindr is an indispensable tool for LGBTQ travelers—log in to encounter locals and get recommendations for bars, restaurants, events, and more. With Grindr in your pocket, you’ll always be connected to other LGBTQ people around you and have your finger on the pulse of what’s happening.
Ready to get started? Creating your profile is easy, and you can share as much or little about yourself as you verb. Within minutes you’ll be ready to connect, chat, and meet up with people near you.
Grindr is faster and better than ever:
• See people nearby based on your location
• Chat and share secret photos
• Add tags to share your interests
• Hunt tags to find others based on their interests
• Create private albums to share (and unshare) multiple photos at once
• Filter your search to verb what you want

How Tinder is different when you’re gay
One defining feature of the modern gay experience is using dating apps. While there are some explicitly gay dating apps (although Grindr can only loosely be called a “dating” app), we also use Tinder and other Straight™ things.
A lot of young people contain a complicated relationship with Tinder, not just members of the LGBTQ community. It makes it a lot easier to insert yourself out there and meet new people, but it takes away the meet-cute charm of bumping into the love of your life at Starbucks. Dare we say that Tinder is even more complicated for gay people? We dare.
Straight people are always surrounded by other straight people, which means they have a lot of romantic options. There aren’t that many gay people in the world, and we are used to running out of options pretty quickly.
For some, using Tinder is a nice way to face more gay people without the stress of wondering whether they’re looking for the same thing. For others (like me — Jacob), Tinder takes away some of the charm of meeting people organically.

To help you avoid some of the many dating mistakes I’ve made, here’s an honest list of all the various gay dating & hookup apps that I’ve used – my personal experience and reviews of the finest (and worst) gay apps.
Everyone has an opinion on the gay apps. They’ve become so ubiquitous and ingrained in our widespread culture, they’re impossible to resist. I remember the first time I downloaded Grindr—shortly after it was released. Once The Fresh York Times writers discovered it, the app world seemed to explode with location-based dating apps.
Gay dating wasn’t easy for a long time. I was lucky enough to flourish up & come out during the iPhone generation when thousands of recent types of apps seemed to be released every day. And the gays were instrumental to that digital boom.
The gay apps have fundamentally changed dating—for E V E R Y O N E, the gays, the straights. It changed LGBTQ nightli

Introduction
“Here goes nothing”, I think to myself as I once again find myself downloading the ever-daunting dating LGBTQIA+ apps that will either be a source of unparalleled happiness or spiraling doom. Dating is undeniably terrifying. The whole concept of meeting strangers and being vulnerable with them in the hopes that something comes out of that interaction, be that something a hook-up, a quick or long term relationship or maybe just even a friendship, is overwhelmingly bizarre. But the potential of that “something” maybe happening is in and of itself a truly beautiful experience.
I constantly joke around with close friends that I am ready for a relationship. I crave the emotional and physical intimacy that comes with one. My friends, being my most brutal advisors, always say the same thing, “Derek saying you want a relationship is worthless if you don’t put yourself out there. In order to find a relationship, you need to well, date.” And running the peril of inflating my friends&#; egos, they’re right. The only way to detect someone, is by
