More sophisticated profile
Even if it’s a hookup, most times you are going to want something to talk about before you unzip. Profiles are always loaded with user’s ridiculously rules, qualifications and expectations. Having a place to connect with someone on the basis of sports, education, jobs, interest would be a plus

As other have said, I think the profile text limit needs to ideally be removed entirely or increased considerably so to allow from a bare minimum of 1000 characters anywhere up to 5000 characters.

Hey guys! Husband and I just sending some feedback on your app. Would it possible to extend the space for profile description as it's way too short as well as add more features and a link to one's partner profile (like Scruff, your biggest competitor)?

The ,"description" character limit on Grindr is considerably less than comparable apps e.g. Scruff.
Ideally increase this for all members but if not, at least increase for unlimited members given the high prices we pay for the app.
Thanks

Allow more space in the "about me" section. 255 character is not enough for me

255 Characters for a bio is not nearly enough to describe yourself in the slightest bit, especially if you like to space things out so that it doesn't look so congested, I think minimum 1000 characters should be allowed

Names should be 50 characters and About you should be 1000. Instead of saying Exibitionists wanted or liked it cut off at exhibitionist. Im not an exhibitionist but I like them. Also the 255 to describe even with little detail what you're about oa WAY TOO SHORT

It woukd be super awesome to have much more than 243 characters to describe yourself.
It would be nice and so easy to do.

On almost every type of social media platform almost any app has made it so the about me is either A unlimited characters OR B around 3000 maximum.
250 is not enough Especially in Covid -

If there was more space to actually add more screening criteria I might be willing to pay.
As it stands, it's not worth paying money for.

Currently your platform only allows 250 character for a persons “About Me”. 250 Characters is not enough to describe oneself to others. By expanding it maybe to 500, you allow enough space for a person to fully describe who they are and prevent someone from misjudging or identifying a person and allow users to learn more about each other. Sure, your platform is used by many people looking for a hookup. But it’s not exclusive to just hooking up. People also use it for finding friends, dating and networking as are some of your “what are you looking for” options. I tried to describe myself and barely got a good description of who I am. Now I have to explain to people who I am and what I’m looking for in messages. Which is a waste of time for all when they could find out from a profile and know whether or not to message that person. However, I also know, not everyone uses it “About Me” section and not everyone reads it. But there are many of us who do and an extension would greatly impact the quality of the app.

A bigger description of of my likes and dislikes in words more than 255 please more like like 350 what I like to do do all the others
it should be mandatory to say something about yourself and should be mandatory to say something in your profile especially on like who you are what you like to do do I am sick of blank profiles I don't mind when they don't have pictures but brand new profiles that say nothing at all about them I don't mind new profiles at all it was nice to know -

Can you increase character size from 250 to like 500?

If you pay for Grindr you should get 500 character limit on profile description. I know Grindr is about Grindn but it is possible to find someone for more. Thank you for your consideration

By limiting profile text descriptions (which adds almost nothing to storage data since it's just text..), Grindr sells itself short and limits user connections. Grindr is so much more than just a "hookup" app. To facilitate more meaningful connections, the profile size limit needs to be increased. We need more space to offer more information about who we are and what we're seeking. The current space is extremely limited. With more availability of comprehensive and descriptive profiles on the app, the user experience would improve greatly and the gay community would be much better off.
Best of both worlds: After 10 lines of profile text description, include a "More..." button for people who want to write/read more. That avoids having to scroll waaay down to look at profile items (height, weight, position, gender, etc.). Not interested in reading a lot about the person? Then don't press "More..." Simple!
This could be implemented immediately. It's one reason why I'm always on Grindr, but never seem to make meaningful connections with anybody on it..
