Tinder gay option

The Gay Man&#;s guide to creating a profile that speaks to who you are. Plus: two profile red flags to glance out for.

I&#;ve been dating online since I came out at At that time, online dating was the primary option for gay men to face other gay men. There may be more options available now, but I still find it to be my go-to dating method.

My preference for the online dating pool may be because my social circles don&#;t bring me into contact with an abundance of single gay men, or because it&#;s interesting to meet people who are outside my everyday experience. It is, as they say, what it is.

The debut of &#;a website that promotes mindful dating&#;is exciting. I wonder, though, if what we are being mindful about will be open to wide interpretation. To me, mindfulness means being conscious of and engaged in the Universe and respecting its laws, and in improving oneself in harmony with those laws. To others, &#;mindful&#; may represent something different. The meeting of these minds, though, starts with a profile.

Take mine, for example:

Hi everyone! It&#;s nice to encounter you.

10 LGBTQ+ dating apps that are actually worth downloading

Love them or hate them, I think we can all agree that dating apps tend to display certain, um, challenges. (See also: frustrations, headaches, and heartaches with a chance of ”I am going to throw my smartphone into the nearest gutter if I see another Tinder bio that says, “Looking for my partner in crime.”) And, unfortch, if you happen to be a person who is seeking literally anything outside of the standard heteronormative script, finding whatever it is you’re looking for on a dating app is that much harder. Your dating pool seriously shrinks, and less options = less opportunity to meet someone special.

Hence why it's super essential as a queer person to make sure you’re downloading dating apps that are LGBTQ+ friendly—so you can be more intentional about who or what you're looking for.

“Today’s LGBTQ+ daters want to celebrate who they are,” says Michael Kaye, Director of Brand Marketing and Communications at Archer, a (brand eff-ing new!) gay dating app. “Queer daters want an app that understands and values every part o

What is the best gay dating app?

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 compact 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 exposure of inflating my friends&#; egos, they’re right. The only way to detect someone, is by

Tinder has rolled out a major update, which allows users to choose from a more comprehensive list of sexual orientations and gender identities.

For the first time in the dating app’s history, users will be proficient to choose to be registered as trans – rather than the former binary options of noun or woman. They can choose whether this automatically shows on their profile.

People will also be also to select up to three sexual orientation terms from nine options: straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual, demisexual, pansexual, queer, and questioning. They can then specify which gender they would like to be matched with.

The alter, named ‘Orientation’, will roll out to iOS and Android users in the UK throughout June (it is also available in America, Canada, Ireland, India, Australia and New Zealand).
