Because Grindr is such a popular outlet, even compared to other gay dating sites that are known and trusted, you’ll have no trouble mingling with your fellow site users. The members are always active and attentive. If you want to find out if your messages have been read by someone you are interested in, you’ll need to upgrade to a paid membership.
Matching is done by algorithms that will put you in touch with those gay men who have fallen under your GPS-locating radar. Where other gay dating sites might be set up to find matches according to compatibility or shared hobbies and interest, here you can cut to the chase.
• The profile quality is excellent, but only one photo can be uploaded at a time – so ensure the one you opt for is engaging enough to stand out from the crowd. Unlike some of the exhaustive profile questionnaires, other users of gay dating sites have to endure, here there are some fields you can skip. Although it has to be remarked, the more care you take when highlighting your characteristics, the greater the response will be.
• You can go back in and edit your profile at any time, and also link to it from your social media accounts. But the most important profile attribute of all for Grindr members is the ability to track the distance any potential partners are from your current location.
• As well as basic info about your appearance, you can specify your tribe. (Are you a bear or are you clean-cut or whatever? There are many choices for you to narrow down.) You can also specify what you are looking for – and when asked about position, this has nothing to do with seeking someone with a trendy occupation. This refers to favorite sexual position.
The app version of this gay dating site is free to download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Free services include profile creation, viewing up to 100 matches, messaging, selecting a tribe, basic filters, browsing through profiles, and getting involved in group gay chat. Subscribing introduces a whole raft of special features, including selecting three tribes, push notifications, unlimited blocks and favorites, saving and sending chat phrases, viewing up to 600 matches, and much more.
The sheer scale of this gay dating site is awesome. The number of potential dates who are online at any time, coupled with the matching functionality, means you will have every chance of finding someone ideal very quickly.
There are many alternatives out there – Gaystryst, Scruff, Adam4Adam – but you’ll be drawn back to Grindr for its potency. Check our list of best gay hookup sites.
