Distance Controls
Allow a user to be able to set distance parameter for whom they are seeing. Meaning that I only want to see users who are within a set distance from me. And likewise for users who see me so we don’t waste our time viewing people outside of our desired location radius.

I really think viewing people close by is very important.

The app subscription cost is too high for me, so if it is under 99, it would be very good.

I think that's a great idea and what we need.

I noticed the new distance filter in the mailboxes filters out messages from users with no distance displayed. I know thats a privacy feature users use but, the distance filter should still not filter out users within at least some set minimum. Its a critical was for us to know if someone is scamming us. Ofter I get messages from scammers several hundred, thousands of miles away that say they are coming over but they are just collecting pictures of baiting us. The distance is a clear way to see these types of users.
Currently the only way to do this is to favorite those scammers and see where they appear in the the favorites grid in reference to a profile that has their location shared.

i agree. i don't like that my grid has people on it that are far enough away that we will never meet.
along with that,if there was a way for the grid to be able to recognize that resonable distance to meet someone is different based on where you are located. For example, when i lived in the midwest, seeing someone was only 4 miles away, is much different now that im in NYC. here 4 miles could take you up to 45 minutes to get there.
idk if it is clear what i am trying to say or not.

The problem is that Grindr has broken its main GPS functionality in order to sell those silly "boosts" falsely showing a far away user as closer. So it wouldn't make sense have a distance feature as it wouldn't work. After they remove the ethnic filter and filled up the app with trans and cross dressers I stopped paying and barely use it.

The explore butron allows you to see guys in an area you are visiting. I totally agree this should be a feature - waste of my time when 100+ miles away. Will also reduce the 'masseur' prflofiles messaging

I love to find guys in other locations before I arrive that way I can hook up with a man right out the gate without having to search for One.

I agree with maybe having an optional distance filter on who you see in your display but not on who sees you. I live in a city with many tourists who often search for guys before they arrive.

I agree fully about the distance control.

Adding a distance feature on Grindr would be a great idea. No more guys hundreds of miles away!

It’s so frustrating when you are chatting with a guy and he is apparently in another country, not even city!

I wish you guys would fix the distance feature... since people are able to shut the feature off I wish you guys would still list what state they're in it should be mandatory that you show the state.... and if they're not in the US you should List It

In agree with this. I don't think users should be able to turn this feature off entirely because it allows for fake profiles, which I consider Grindr's biggest drawback. Because stalking can also be a problem, perhaps make 5 miles the least distance one can have on the low end of Distance settings... with a notation that 5 miles is an estimate/skewed Distance. The upper end can be set to whatever the user desires.

Totally agree! You have filters for everything else, we NEED one bad!!!!! For the distance. Nothing like getting along great with someone only to find out they’re 300 miles away! Waste of time for everyone
