Grindr currently allows users to filter profiles based on sexual roles such as top, bottom, and versatile — which is a great feature to begin with. However, even when these filters are applied, a user's profile is still visible to everyone, regardless of compatibility.

This can lead to an exhausting experience, especially when users constantly receive messages from people who do not match their preferences. For instance, a bottom looking for tops still appears in searches for other bottoms, resulting in unproductive or frustrating interactions.

The Proposal:
- Introduce a visibility filter, allowing users to decide who can find and view their profile based on sexual preferences. In addition to filtering others, users can ensure their own visibility is aligned with their actual interests.

Key Benefits:
- Smoother and more assertive experience
- Reduces unnecessary messages and saves time, making connections more intentional and aligned.

• Higher-quality engagement
  With greater compatibility, users are more likely to have meaningful conversations and actual meetups.

• Less frustration
  Fewer interactions with incompatible users lead to a more respectful and enjoyable space for everyone.

• Greater sense of control and safety
  Empowering users to manage their exposure enhances their sense of autonomy and comfort.

• Competitive edge
  This feature could position Grindr as a more intelligent and community-aware platform, improving user satisfaction and loyalty.
