New Tribes Categories
Hello,
I think you are missing out on a big community of people. The chub and chaser community. I know their are other apps out there but if you could just add chub and chaser to the tribes section you may get a lot more people interested in the app that are from the chub/chaser community. On occasion (as a chubby guy) I get lucky and find a guy who is into chubby guys. But a majority of the time I’m not so lucky. I see you added Bear and that is great but how do you find the people who are into bears and into chubby guys. This should just be an easy addition to the Tribes section. You could even make an announcement to the lgbt community and see how many new/returning clients you could get. I know I have left and come back to Grindr at least 7 times in my lifetime just from being tired of all the hate I would receive. (Recently I haven’t but in the beginning I did.) Please consider the addition of Chub and Chaser to the Tribes section of your app.
Thank you for your time.
Kevin B.

Under tribes, there should be a curious tribe for those of us that are just now venturing out.

I would like "tribes" to be reworded or defined. I thought tribes was what you category yourself into. Lots of people are not using it for that, they are using it for what they are into. So I'm getting a lot of old and large hairy men in the Twink and Clean Cut tribes. It's super confusing what tribes is supposed to be used for.

You should be able to show yourself to your tribe only. Anyone not in your tribe won't see your profile.

I’m a bear but I'm not into bears. I'm into jocks.
It would be cool if there were two tribe options. The tribe you’re in and the tribe you’re looking for. So it would also be easier for me to find guys that are jocks but into bears. -

It's disappointing that the stigma still exist. Please add a poz friendly option to tribes. And Grindr needs more educational info around what U=U means.
Also, people who use the phrase "be clean" don't realize how offensive and hurtful this is. Grindr has a pretty big platform, that platform should be used to change that stigma. I understand that people will still have their preferences and they have that right. I believe that more educational info and the added filter will encourage more people to be familiar with what it means to be undetectable poz and provide a more user friendly experience. -

I will continue to find this app discriminatory until it adds a chub and chaser tag /tribe. It's clear many folk have been asking for this for years. And when I can see a tag for things like 'sober' and 'tentacles' but not for 'chaser', it's pretty clear that chubby guys and their admirers are being discriminated against. Come on, we know the gay community generally has an issue with fat people but no need to perpetuate the discrimination by not helping ALL shapes and sizes find a match and happiness. Seriously disappointed that grindr haven't righted this wrong. There's been multiple app updates and yet it still doesn't appear. I can conclude nothing other than blatant discrimination.

Discrimination. Pure and simple. You can tag yourself as 'tentacles' (wtf!) but not that you're a chub or chaser? Messed up app. I'm sick of asking for this to be added and leaving until they sort this discrimination by omission out.

Add chaser as a tribe so people can label themselves and be more easily matched

More tribes are needed, and be able to select more than 3.

Hi guys,
Love your app …. and use it also !
only a profile setting is not clear and led in my case already to misunderstandings (I am 57 yo Daddy offering services to 20-40 young men)
“Daddy” label …
If a 35 year old uses the label daddy as tribe …
does it mean he is daddy and looks for younger boys to be their daddy ?
or
does he looks for a more mature Daddy to be his boy ? (my search)It would be so much more handy if the tribes states clearly
the active “wannabe” approach (searching as in my first part of my comparison
or the passive “wannahave” approach (offering / as in my 2nd part)
I guess thus is for mist tribes the case / twink … being a twink or searching fir a twink
a simply wannabe or wannahave would make it more clearThanks guys

There should be more options in the "tribe" feature such as artistic, spiritual, eccentric, and any more of the various personalities that exists within our community

In your profile there is a place for 'Looking for', 'Meet at' and 'accept NSFW pics'. I think there should also be a tribe choices for what your looking for, like l: 'Looking for tribe...' where other people can see what you are looking for. That way there is a bit more chance to find your "type".

Add smooth & Chaser to the list of tribes

Remove tribes and make it PRONOUNS instead, tribes encourages people to mix and clutters the ecosystem with mixed identities, if I want to look for a twink, I should only see twinks not bears that like twinks and so on.

This is literally what I came here to say. Give me a filter for people who want to meet in a safe public place. I’m not interested in anyone else

For many of us who are out of the closet, we are fearful of closeted individuals because closeted individuals are frequently murdering, raping, and assaulting openly GLBTQ+ people who are out of the closet. This is especially common amongst closeted cisgender men being a danger to Trans people, with a disproportionate risk of harm against transfeminine people of color. Many uncloseted folks also have moral, religious, or political objections against associating ourselves with grown adults who are living a fraudulent life.

I think what you're asking for is a bit much. I mean think of all the different combinations people could be listing and many people could be hairy and plenty of other things but someone shouldn't have to be that specific just because you find it annoying that hairy twinks pop up when you do a search for hairy.
