What is your biggest pain point on the app right now?

Search by free-form text in profile bios

Please make profiles free-form text searchable so we can better find matches and make richer connections, whether that be for hookups, friends, dates, networking, and/or relationships.
Searching by tags is a step in the right direction—thank you—but it’s too confining and unreliable :/

    don’t agree

    Concur: “This isn't really that great of an idea because it only furthers people not reading the profile in the first place”, per comment Scott F

    The grouping tools currently available gets part of the job done

    In 2020 and beyond, effective online self-marketing gets successful results; if guys are sloppy/ lazy and don’t do this, then that kinda speaks something about them and wasting your time

    Some guys are still finding their way, and the best way to communicate potential commonalities is to actually take time to read their profile and engage dialogue

    If they’re not interested, chances are it’s you who’s got some self-renovating to do

    Pretty lazy investment in others and our fellow community members, to skip over their profile because your time-poor and looking for the word phrase “elephant hung”/ or “lingerie”/ or “************”/ or “18 years old” etc

    That’s pretty backwards

    There are specific websites for specific obscure fetishises, maybe that’s really where some people need to go

    Maybe explore Facebook, Instagram, Meetup etc for gay interests groups in the broader spectrum of total society; not every gay guy uses Grindr culture, and to matrix guys right down is a ridiculous science project

    Want to link with gay pole dancers/ specific ethnic gay groups/ gay parrot breeders etc etc, go to Facebook/ Instagram/ Meetup etc etc. Not every gay man has a Grindr presence
