1. Ethnicity

   Argument: Why Choosing Your Ethnicity on Grindr Is Not Racism

   When users on Grindr or similar dating apps indicate their preferences regarding ethnicity, it's important to differentiate between personal preferences and racism. Here are several reasons why such preferences, when exercised respectfully and with awareness, do not necessarily equate to racism:

   1. Personal Preference Is a Natural Part of Attraction
      People are naturally attracted to others based on a variety of factors, including physical appearance, personality, cultural background, and, yes, ethnicity. Ethnicity can shape a person’s identity, including cultural practices, language, and even physical features, which may influence what an individual finds attractive. Just as someone might have a preference for a certain hair color or body type, a preference for ethnicity is simply part of the broader spectrum of personal attraction.

   2. Ethnicity and Cultural Connection
      For many, shared ethnic background can be important because it aligns with shared experiences, values, and cultural references. People might feel more comfortable dating within their own ethnic group because it provides a sense of shared history, common ground, and mutual understanding. In this context, the choice is less about exclusion and more about seeking someone with a similar background and experiences.

   3. Cultural Identity and Pride
      Ethnicity often ties into a person's sense of cultural pride and identity. Just as a person might want to connect with someone who shares their national or regional identity, ethnicity on dating apps can be a way to celebrate and connect with others who identify similarly. For instance, a person who identifies strongly with their Latinx, Black, or Asian heritage might prefer to meet people who understand and appreciate the nuances of that identity. This preference is a personal choice, not a racial judgment or exclusion of others.

   4. Not About Stereotyping or Generalizing
      Having a preference for a specific ethnicity does not automatically equate to racism. Racism is rooted in prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed at someone based on their race. However, choosing to date people of a certain ethnicity (or avoiding others) is a matter of individual choice, and it doesn’t inherently involve prejudging or demeaning others based on their race. The key difference here is the intent: racism is about dehumanizing or belittling others, whereas personal attraction is about individual taste.

   5. Acknowledging Historical Context
      Many critics argue that preferences in dating apps reflect the broader societal dynamics of racial inequality or colonial histories. While it's true that racism is entrenched in many societies, acknowledging this historical context should not automatically reduce personal preferences to acts of racial bias. People’s preferences can exist alongside their broader commitment to fighting racism. For example, someone may have preferences based on ethnicity but still actively engage in anti-racist efforts in other aspects of their life, such as through social activism or supporting diversity.

   6. Ethnic Preferences Can Be Based on Positive Experience, Not Exclusion
      Often, preferences for certain ethnicities are not driven by negative stereotypes but rather positive experiences or attractions. For example, someone may prefer dating people of a particular ethnic group because they’ve had past relationships with individuals from that group and found those connections fulfilling. This positive reinforcement doesn't constitute racism; it simply reflects an individual’s dating history and experiences.

   7. A Matter of Choice and Freedom
      Dating preferences are personal and subjective. Just as people choose to date based on physical appearance, personality, or shared values, they also choose based on ethnicity. In a free society, individuals have the autonomy to make choices that best reflect their personal desires. Imposing blanket rules that dictate who someone can or cannot date based on their preferences infringes on this personal freedom.

   Conclusion:
   While it's crucial to approach conversations about ethnicity with sensitivity, the act of choosing one's ethnicity on Grindr or similar apps is not inherently racist. It is simply a form of personal preference rooted in attraction, cultural identity, and shared experiences. Racism involves harmful attitudes, discrimination, and prejudice, which are fundamentally different from personal dating preferences. As long as preferences are communicated respectfully and without demeaning others, choosing one's ethnicity is an individual decision that does not equate to racism.

2. Search tool for bios or profile descriptions

   There should be a tool that allows you to search for key words (or anything you type) and then filter in only profiles that have whatever you typed in, in their bio.

   For example, I usually am hunting for profiles that have stuff similar to "Down for anything," or "Open to Whatever." But it's hard to find those people, especially with all the extra profiles, or when they think it's a great idea to add absolutely nothing else to their profile stats. So having a search tool where i can simply type "Anything" or "whatever" and only have profiles with those words in their bio show up would save me a lot of hassel.

3. Chaser tag discrimination

   At this point a simple tag "Chaser" has been advocated for on this platform by myself and other users for YEARS. I have seen the most ridiculous other tags added but one that is used across every other gay app is somehow still not included on the most "famous"? Is this discrimination? As a paying member this is outrageous.

7. Ethnicity search

   I like a type of man. I have the option to put my ethnicity into my profile. If the option is there to put in my profile, there should be a filter to search for that ethnicity. It’s simple. Bring it back please. I can’t find the type of guy I like without scrolling needlessly.

8. Trans tribes

   To be trans is not a Tribe.
   Is what I am, man/womem/ non binary/ transgender female/transgender male...
   So the app should start...

   I am:

   Im bored to find man that doesent know how to read. Crossdressers that does it just for fetish, bots and even lesbian girls in the transgender tribe when noone of them should b there

   And is a design flaw.

   What I am, what I am looking for.
   And a filter.

   It shouldnt b hard to b done.
   And It will get rid of tons of profiles we dnt care about at all.

9. There's such a strong theme in this app.

   They should create a well-defined filter for people who still believe it's possible to find a partner. The problem is that these filters may exist, but they're only available for a fee, and I don't think that's right. Because in the end we are all a community. I personally sometimes pay to find men who are genuinely more real in conversations and who aren't underage.They use fake photos of their uncles, parents, or other relatives because it's happened to me. And they only ask for money, what they call "a league" or "help." I really feel like this app has lost control. There weren't so many underage people here before. Second, it's impossible to find your type for the same reason, and those who are don't trust you because this whole situation is so complex and uncontrolled. There's such a persistent issue being used to harm others—homicides, murders motivated by homophobia, simply for not validating someone's identity. Everyone here is of legal age.That he can prove it in order to avoid bad times, a bad experience, and developing an aversion to the application. I also think it would be necessary to add a space for you to define what you like and another for what you don't look for because in life both are valid and it's not applied in Grindr.It's also a good idea to manage your account by having at least two albums, not just one private one. The goal is to have one with photos of each other that aren't obscene, and another with private photos, which isn't bad either. But there are a lot of restrictions on the location metrics; for example, if you find someone, they're very far away, and fences aren't your type, yet they appear as if they really were there.In my case it's exhausting because I like chubby, hairy, older men, and I don't see any filter for this other than mature men.I know there are older men who like younger men, I'm talking about 30 or 35, but there's no filter for those searches that doesn't require paying. And it's frustrating. Well, if you make any changes, I would appreciate it.

10. Meet at

    Users can select “Meet at” options of My Place, Your Place, Bar, Coffee Shop and Restaurant.
    Although, users are free to express their need or desire for cruising or voyagerism.
    I recommend to implement some new “Meet at” options, such as: Park, Gym, or simply ‘Outdoors’ to help users connecting on a broader scale.

11. I would love to see language tags!

    That way I could search "English," "ASL," or "German" and if they have the language tag I could find them. This could help people who want to find others who speak their language or help people who want to learn a language by meeting new people!

12. Language

    Subject: Suggestion: Add Language-Based Filtering Feature

    Hello,

    I hope you’re doing well. I’d like to share a suggestion that could improve user experience on the app.

    Currently, many users (including myself) would like to connect with people who speak the same language, especially in multilingual countries like the U.S. However, when some users requested ethnicity-based filters, the app considered it discriminatory — which is understandable.

    That’s why I believe adding a language-based isolation or filter option would be a fair and inclusive solution. This feature would simply allow users to find others who communicate in the same language, without involving race or nationality.

    For example, I live in the U.S. but speak Arabic, and I’d love to meet other Arabic speakers nearby. I think this update would make the app more welcoming and relevant for diverse communities.

    Thank you for your time and consideration.

14. Trans

    Not transphobic but there has to be a fine line between gays looking for gays and guys looking for fem/trans. It seems more than half of the profiles I look at are looking for trans only, and this is very annoying being gay... A new app, or strong filters are necessary. Please don't make me stop using my favorite app due to such a silly reason

15. Flipfuck tag

    Being vers is hard enough, and finding people who are fully vers and not leaning one way or the other, a pain in the neck. This would be SO EASILY SOLVED through a flip-fuck tag... If it existed it would be the only tag I use. And explaining takes an ungodly amount of characters in the profile. In Spanish it's "Vuelta y Vuelta". I don't know in other languages. But it would make my grindr experience so much easier.

20. Tribe for Chubby Chasers, tag for “Chaser”

    I’m so disappointed that there are over 21 pages of propositions to add a chaser identifier to the app consisting of dozens of prompts each and those collectively having thousands of votes- and still nothing is done. This is not a complicated ticket to complete?

    I want to understand why this goes unheard and remains unacknowledged

    What is the purpose of maintaining this “uservoice” web domain if it is just an echo chamber?

    Guys- Grindr is the standard dating app for gays in North America. Please just make it mutually accessible for bigger dudes looking for chasers, instead of forcing us to just “shoot our shot” with 1000 shallow body shaming boys, in search of the fraction of guys who would happily click “chaser” as a tribe and tag.
