Can gay guys use tinder

It'd recommend it.

Do you think that is due to your location or the fact that gay dating is not the target audience of the app? Probably the former. I live in a city where most of the gay people are college aged and us younger guys tend not to be into dating in general.

Lots of gay guys use Tinder, and in my experience they are more attractive than guys on Grindr. You can only message people if you both like each other. Plus, you can filter guys by age so that no old guys can match you you. The only downside is that most of the guys I matched were shit at holding conversations and meeting up.

Or they were too far away to warrant meeting up. Met my current bf on tinder, he wasn't on any other apps either so I lucked out with it. Haven't had too much sides with it besides that to be honest. If you go to your settings, you can say you are looking for men. It will match you with guys who are also gay. I live a decent-sized city Charlotte, NC but Tindr dries up pretty quickly after you swipe through all the potential matches. I got about 10 matches at first, then haven't had any at all in the last week and no new guys to check out either.

I like that it only pairs you up with matches, but it doesn't really give you a way to go back and view guys you overlooked and accidently swiped left on without paying.

I had one date, but we didn't click. Just search for gay dating apps and download them all! I could download them all. The apps I do have now have pretty much the same guys.

And they are all geographical. I don't have them on my phone for different reasons but I guess I need to take the apps out of the house to get a wider variety. That's what I am seeing now. No new guys showing up.

And grindr is mostly just hookups here. I don't really want to pay either, so that's also a consideration. Thanks for the insight. Yeah, sometimes you'll get better results on the other side of town, or you can even block the guys you totally aren't interested in so others farther way move up in the queue.

I met my current guy there as well as others have said here. For me it seemed like mostly a different crowd from the other apps, and unlike the others, I didn't have to pay to make search window larger or shorter. O ne defining feature of the modern gay experience is using dating apps. It makes it a lot easier to put 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. For others like me — Jacob , Tinder takes away some of the charm of meeting people organically. I like the idea of running into the love of my life in a cafe.

Tinder Is Gay Friendly Only in the Strictest Terms

I daydream about crushing on a guy for a few weeks, drunk texting him and then striking up a romance. I cannot imagine a better place to meet my future husband than a Lady Gaga concert. But when I express frustration with boys or my love life, the easy and immediate answer is to just get a Tinder. Gay guys are really in short supply in this world. Tinder would make it easier to meet other gay guys, but it would make me miss out on what I think of as an essential part of young love. For straight people, Tinder might be a convenient way to meet new people or arrange an easy hookup.

What if that day never comes and they never bump into that person? But how am I supposed to feel knowing that the odds of me meeting just any gay person are slim, much less the love of my life? As a gay guy, I feel like that choice has already been made for me. I get what Jacob means about wanting to meet people in real life, but as a generally anxious person, I like that technology that allows me to avoid talking to other humans is readily available.

I like that I can find someone from the comfort of my couch before I head out into the real world to actually get to know them. If I meet a cute girl out in the real world, I get to play a fun game: Is She Gay?
