Well said Nemo!

Decent filtering would suffice. You charge an absolute fortune for your services, so you've obviously got the cash to implement a change. Just get off the CEO's AI hobby horse and get the low hanging fruit fixed first! AI ain't ready anyway, don't care what your expert says, just look around you.

Grindr doesn’t care that so many of us are unhappy with the current trans promotion it’s doing because they are the market leader and we have yet to make them pay for their bull. Trans profiles are promoted to the grid and no matter how many I hide they are always right in the first few rows of profiles every time I log on. Clearly not distance based and an agenda of some sort. It’s so annoying and they keep blocking more and more features behind the paywall. It really sucks as an app now. So much inconvenience and bloodsucking and ads galore. I’m using Sniffies more and more these days.

it’s about time that the individuals who opt to join the politically correct bandwagon need to stop attempting to force gay men to accept trans individuals who now identify as male as men, This has nothing to do with accepting trans people, I’ve met some trans people who identify as male and are decent caring individuals and are manly looking. Drs freely prescribing testosterone to trans people whilst making it nearly impossible for men to obtain prescriptions for testosterone has everything to do with the way they look yet they never will or can be men no matter how much they try or wish they were. Why does Grindr believe it’s their right to allow women and trans people on this site allowing them to contact and proposition the gay blokes on Grindr yet we are reprimanded by the admin if we state we’re not interested in trans people or twinks or any other group. I’m polite and attempt to respond to everyone that messages me, unlike a huge majority who believe “no reply is a reply”‘it’s not, it’s simply RUDE. No one is that special, attractive or important that they are above anyone else even if they believe they are. I will never accept being labeled as homophobic for not accepting trans people as men and not wanting to have sex with them. It’s taken me most of my life to accept myself as a gay man and deal with the homophobia and prejudice from the straight community so there is no way I’m accepting being labeled as homophobic by other gay men.

I’m a gay man which means I am attracted to men, manly men

Vcc not the word

Also, a man who identifies as a woman and has a cosmetic surgery to look like a female is also not in the dating pool, as gay men are same sex attracted, and a female face is a turn-off for a lot of gay men, as the appearance is not same sex. They are called a "Trans woman" for a reason. If a gay man is looking for an MTF, they can go to a site that hosts trans. I shouldn't have to waste my blocks to not have a trans woman hit me up. It is really that simple. grindr states the following on their website:

"Today that foundational utility is evolving into the Global Gayborhood—an AI-powered platform where proximity unlocks instant access not only to one another but also to curated products, services, and trustworthy information, all in one place. By stitching these essentials into a single, fluid experience, Grindr now serves as the growth engine of gay life worldwide."

Our mission is clear: become the Global Gayborhood in Your Pocket, so wherever life takes you, the community, support, and opportunities that move us and our business forward are never more than a tap away"

Remember, the definition of gay is a man looking for a man. Not a man looking for trans, or a woman looking for a woman, nor is it a biological woman looking for a man. There is Taimi for trans people, and HER for lesbians. Also the bio woman, who identifies as a woman, looking for a man, should be obvious. They have Tinder and Bumble. Keep grindr who it was meant for.

“You can't say that because what about a transitioning FTM is he not a man?“

Transition is a superficial cosmetic procedure that doesn’t change someone’s sex. A woman who identifies as a man and with a forearm sausage sown onto her crotch is still a female. She is not in the dating pool of gay men because they are same sex attracted. It’s really that simple.

Agreed. FTM have their sites and real males are not allowed.

You can't say that because what about a transitioning FTM is he not a man?

I am men

@Cosmic, Best explanation yet!

Grindr doesn’t care about the LGBTQ+ community as a whole—just look at their own words. From their About Us section:

“Since 2009, Grindr has grown into the world’s largest network for gay, bi, trans, and queer adults. Each day, millions of people in nearly every country open the app to connect, chat, and build community.”

Notice anything missing? Lesbians aren’t even mentioned. That omission says a lot. It’s clear Grindr is more focused on promoting a specific agenda—namely the trans movement—than fostering true inclusion across the broader LGBTQ+ spectrum.

Let’s be honest: lesbians don’t invade Grindr because they already have their own spaces. Why can’t gay and bi men have that same right? Instead, we’re constantly dealing with women-presenting profiles, many of which are soliciting money for sex. If Grindr wants to be a hookup and dating app for men, then give us that space—without the clutter, confusion, and constant filtering.

Enough is enough. If trans individuals and their admirers want a space, they should build one. Grindr should stop forcing its user base to adapt to a platform that no longer respects its original community.

Alex Nathan i totally agree with you, Grindr is a plataform FOR LGBTQ community as all only! But not for str8 people seeking for pink money. Other thing heterosexuals one of the millions of times wanting to take advantage, mainly to use us, our pink money and often extort and threaten us. And it is definitely not a platform for them to co-opt and use for liberal encounters.

Community building:
Grindr serves as a platform for LGBTQ+ individuals to connect with others, find support, and explore their identities.

marily used as a social networking and dating application for gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals. It utilizes location-based technology to connect users with others nearby, facilitating communication, meetups, and potentially romantic or sexual encounters. While some users may seek long-term relationships, the app is often associated with casual encounters and hookups.

Trans is not a sexual orientation so why is it even in the LGB ACRONYM? Let the TQ+ crowd have their own separate alliance and leave the LGB crowd to enjoy a shared identity that’s based in sexual preference and not all of this extra nonsense. And Grindr is so corny for promoting trans profiles in everyone’s feeds too. It’s clearly an agenda. No matter how many I block, they’re still a certain percentage of my visible profiles at all times. This isn’t natural. It’s forced by some algorithm that scatters them into your grid no matter what. They should have kept the location based profile format and not curated the profiles we see based on some decisions forced on the hoi polloi by our overlords.

A transgender man may identify as a man, but biologically, they are not. Even with surgical procedures, the fundamental biological components of a male are not present. No matter how far the extreme left pushes to redefine sex and gender, the reality of biology remains unchanged. This constant reshaping of definitions has led to growing confusion among younger generations—confusion that breeds personal isolation, disconnection within the LGBTQ+ community, and a culture that feels increasingly detached from reality. Many within the community are tired of being lumped in with ideological extremes and just want to live authentically without being boxed into ever-shifting narratives.

Sorry to tell you TRANSGENDER men are men if you like it or not

Hey Alex Nathan,
No—they’re not. And that’s not coming from a place of hate; it’s just reality. When we’re talking about hookups, physical sex matters. A trans man might present as male, but once clothes come off, the biology doesn’t match what most gay men are looking for. We shouldn’t be guilted into accepting something as fact when it isn’t. Identity and respect are one thing—but denying basic biological differences doesn’t help anyone.

Transgender man is a male and transgender woman is a woman transgender women looking for women and cisgender and transgender men with cis men are a gay
