10 LGBTQ+ dating apps that are actually worth downloading
Love them or hate them, I think we can all consent that dating apps tend to introduce certain, um, challenges. (See also: frustrations, headaches, and heartaches with a chance of ”I am going to pitch my phone into the nearest gutter if I glimpse another Tinder bio that says, “Looking for my significant other 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 virtual dating pool seriously shrinks, and less options = less opportunity to meet someone special.
Hence why it's super important as a queer person to make sure you’re downloading matchmaking app apps that are LGBTQ+ friendly—so you can be more intentional about who or what you're looking for.
“Today’s LGBTQ+ daters long to celebrate who they are,” says Michael Kaye, Director of Brand Marketing and Communications at Archer, a (brand eff-ing new!) male lover dating app. “Queer daters want an app that understands and values every part o

As a cis gay man, using these apps has allowed me to reflect on my relationship with my community. However, they own also revealed to me the way cis men like myself can often interact with other members of the queer people negatively.
While some may call me a self-hating gay for criticizing some of these problematic behaviours, we need to acknowledge that the fight for queer liberation is often sidetracked by cis gay (typically white) men without much critical insight.
This lack of insight stems from our proximity to heteropa
The Guysexual’s Brutally Honest Review Of Hinge
Remember the ’90s — when internet trolls, post-millennials and online matchmaking app didn’t exist? Back when people would set each other up with their friends and ultimately obtain blamed for heartbreak (or worse, Herpes)?
Well, now there’s an app for that.
Oh hi there, Hinge. When a dating app promises that ‘75 percent of their first dates twist into second dates,’ you know they’ve got their hinges sealed shut.
No puns intended.
What it is: Hinge calls itself the ‘Relationship App’, and it leaves no stones unturned while trying to set you up with your mind mate. It’s like the nerdier (and also less attractive) second cousin of Tinder. And that explains why hardly anyone (read: any gay man) uses it.
How it works: Hinge pools all the singles in your extended ally circles (using Facebook as it’s underlying base) and matches you with the most likely of them, based on a earnest of questions and frequent interests — which you have to ‘like’ to initiate an interaction — reducing the chance to run into a hopeless string of men who are j
