Allow members to filter out what they don’t want to see. Like Trans women and men as well as women in general.
This is a mens app. Whether Grindr is trying to be inclusive of other groups members pay a lot of money, we should be able to filter out what they We do not want to see. Grindr needs to make improvements to the filters and preferences so that members and especially those who pay a high amount for premium can filter out women, trans women, trans men and sex workers. It should work the same way the age filter works.

Filtering features in social apps raise a design tension: users want control over what they see, but filters can also create echo chambers or make certain groups invisible. What usually works is granular controls rather than a single toggle — letting people filter specific categories without hiding entire populations, and making the filter state visible so users understand they've limited their own view. The other consideration is that some users will filter themselves out of most results and then complain the app is empty, which is a support problem rather than a product one. There's a discussion on https://thor-fortune.co.at about features that give users control without fragmenting the community — the point about visibility of settings mattering was well-made. What would you filter?
