Hey guys,

As a long-time user of Grindr, I would like to submit some ideas and suggestions that I believe could help make the app even more efficient, user-friendly, secure, and inclusive.
1. Categorization by Usage Intent and Sexual Interests (Appearing in Chat):
I propose introducing a feature that allows users to clearly define their current usage intent and sexual interests. However, this should not be visible in the profile from the beginning, but only appear in the chat when both users indicate that they would like to meet. This could be done in the form of categories, such as:
* "Today I want to let go and have hot sex":
* With specification of specific fetishes and inclinations (e.g., Dom/Top, Sub/Bottom, Lingerie, Jeans, Roleplay, etc.)
* Additional filter options for specific sexual practices and preferences (e.g., Oral sex, Anal sex, BDSM, etc.)
* Example: Two users chat about their shared fetishes (e.g., leather, uniforms). After a while, both indicate their interest in meeting. The option to specify specific sexual interests now appears in the chat. If a user specifies "Dom/Top", profiles of users who have specified "Sub/Bottom" or "Slave" as their preference are automatically displayed to them. The app then suggests locations where such meetings could take place (e.g., darkrooms, fetish parties) or offers the option to organize a private meeting.
* "I am looking for a serious relationship":
* With specification of relationship preferences (e.g., romantic, long-term, monogamous, etc.)
* Additional filter options for shared interests and values (e.g., travel, sports, culture, etc.)
* Example: Two users chat about their shared interests (e.g., travel, art). After a few days of intensive exchange, they decide on a first date. The option to specify relationship preferences and shared interests now appears in the chat. The app then suggests romantic restaurants or cultural events that match their interests.
* "I want to take it easy and meet new people":
* With specification of interests for shared activities (e.g., cinema, bars, clubs, sports, etc.)
* Additional filter options for specific events and locations (e.g., gay bars, LGBTQ+ film festivals, etc.)
* Example: Two users chat about their preferences for certain bars or clubs. The option to suggest shared interests and activities now appears in the chat. The app then suggests popular gay bars or clubs nearby and offers the option to meet there.
Important: Users should have the option to adjust their categorization at any time, based on their current needs and interactions with other users. A contact that started in the "casual meetups" category can certainly develop into a sexual encounter or a serious relationship.
2. AI-Powered Matching Improvement:
I am convinced that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) could help to significantly improve the compatibility of matches. AI could analyze profiles and chats to identify commonalities, interests, and sexual preferences. Based on this, personalized suggestions for contacts could be made that meet the individual needs and intentions of users.
* Example: A user specifies "BDSM" as an interest in their profile. The AI then analyzes the profiles of other users and suggests people who are also interested in BDSM and have similar preferences (e.g., Dom/Top, Sub/Bottom).
