Wanna know this too. Every app I've downloaded it's all clout chasing or hookups only.

Such a thing does not exist.

Lol. They all suck. But tinder might work for you. Try real life maybe?

I am based in London and a surprisingly good app for meeting new guys is feeld which is kinda like tinder for poly, queer, gay and/or kink-positive people yet I find it helps cut out the bullshit.

I've found my last two long term boyfriends through Tinder and had great luck setting up serious dates through that.

Mainly just used grindr for hookups because it's the most common. But I have some friends who also like Scruff

Grindr is the lowest common denominator of apps, in that the vast majority of guys who use apps have a Grindr account, even if it isn't their preferred app. I'm much fonder of Scruff, both because the interface is better (and a lot more stable, and not full of ads and bots), and because the user population is a good match for my tastes. If I were 20 and looking for the same, it would be pretty useless.

Heard Christian Mingle and Fsrmers Only were good.

It will always depend on your location and the other people using the app.

Grindr or Scruff. Depending on your city every profile will have a pic of some kind.

I don’t put a face pic up. I’ll send face pic in first message though. I have met several quality men who also didn’t have a profile pic. I kinda of like the mystery grab bag quality of it. But I live in a lower population area where there is a finite number of men to contact. Where Im at not enough guys on scruff so it’s just grindr.

For dating I’d say Hinge.

For hookups I’d say Scruff.

None of them. They're all toxic cesspits. I no longer use them.

Grindr and Tinder.

I might be a bit biased though, I never had a single good first date so I don't find Bumble & Hinge useful at all. I would rather meet with no expectations, hang out low key, have fun, and see if we hit off + have the right sexual chemistry, and let the situation develop into something more naturally if it's bound to...

Grindr is the only one that worked for me. I met one guy from scruff once but none of the others apps were useful

I use Adam4Adam, Grindr, Hornet, Jacked and Scruff. But I'm starting to move away from dating apps because people either ghost me or don't respond.

You near a gay bar? I've always been neutral about the dating apps, OT but since you mentioned "romantic life." : )

I was sitting in my usual spot in a tired old bar and this guy came in. He caught me looking at him and looked down and smiled. I caught him looking at me, same thing. We got together and, well...you know.

The most romantic moment -- in the middle of a dusty, dank, old bar no less-- that I've experienced in a long time. Of course it helps that he was hot, to me anyway. Dating apps can't replicate initial bonding moments like that.

I use tinder to have small talk and set up plans to hang out. I don’t really enjoy texting people I don’t know. Every once in a while I’ll send “hey how’s it going” to 10 people and see if I get a good conversation out of at least one of them. But again, I’m not really trying to talk?? We can get to know each other better in one hour over coffee than 2 weeks of texting.

Grindr and Tinder are great tools for me to get on dates with guys, I would normally not have bumped into during my daily life. I know the apps get a lot slack and that’s probably rightfully so, but I find them useful nonetheless.

Have always recommended Hinge to people.

You’re going to need to fuck with a lot of tryouts. They say they’re looking for someone long term. But, really they just want to score another body. Then, move on. It’s a high churn rate.

Don't use Grinder

Met my fiancé on Hinge. Highly recc!

Avoid eharmony. Waste of money. Plenty of fish has been good for me and same with hinge.

Let me know when you find it.

It’s all the same people

Depending on the city and take this with a big grain of salt, your mileage may vary:

Bumble and Hinge are more relationship oriented

Jacked, Hornet, scruff are more hook upy

Grindr is of course the most famous and more hookup oriented so it’s a big catch all

Would love to hear anyone’s thoughts on farmers only or Christian Mingle 😉.

Any “dating” app that are not geo location based like bumble, hinge and tinder. If they are really serious then stay away from apps like Grindr and scruff.

Scruff is better for those who are not just looking to hookup, it's not dedicated to romantic relationships or anything but I feel like the overall vibe leans towards it as opposed to grindr

Christian mingle

I met my husband on Scruff. This was 6 yrs ago. Also, I wasn’t looking for a husband then lmao

romance, what's that...?

The best site for gay dating right now is MenBash(dot)com This tip is mainly for those who stumble upon this post through Google

Other then grindr, Adult FriendFinder has more gay users then others, I met a lot of people there.

I don't like Grindr either. Haven't had any good experiences there. Funnily enough, I've found eHarmony to have a good dating pool and it's more serious. I've gone on 3 dates since signing up last month compared to being stood up on Grindr.

You have a lot of options. The best one for me is Filf.

Try it out. Hidden gem.

There are several LGBT/Gay dating sites like eHarmony, Growlr, Grindr, Scruff, romeo, etc. You can choose any one of them to search for a better partner. According to my real experience, eHarmony dating platform might be one of the best dating apps to meet local trans people in your area. This would probably help you to date trans singles and missing this great gay dating app would be bad. I have also met some nice people from this platform and met them to make new and real friends.
