Dear Grindr Team,

I’d like to suggest a feature that would greatly improve the user experience — especially for people who have specific preferences.

Problem:
Currently, it’s difficult to filter out profiles that aren’t aligned with what I’m looking for. For instance, I’m not interested in meeting crossdressers or those who identify as women, but many such profiles show up in my area. Similarly, some users are looking exclusively for women, which doesn’t match my interests either.

Suggested Solution:
1. Make it mandatory for users to specify their gender identity in their profile (e.g., cis male, trans male, trans female, non-binary, crossdresser, etc.).
2. Introduce a strong filtering system where users can choose to hide profiles that don’t match their preferences (for example:
• Hide crossdressers
• Hide users looking for women
• Hide users with no gender specified)

This would help users better navigate the app and find people they’re genuinely compatible with, while also making the experience more respectful and tailored to everyone’s needs.

Thanks for considering!
