1. Filter out anyone who isn’t into MY gender

   The gender filter is terribly broken in that it only addresses HALF the equation.

   Whether you are cis or trans, gay or straight, I think one thing we should all be able to agree on is that we are SICK AND TIRED of seeing profiles of people WHO ARE NOT EVEN INTO OUR GENDER.

   It’s absurd to me that in 2023 an explicitly queer app doesn’t have this basic functionality that most cishet apps do:

   If someone signs up as a man DO NOT show them profiles of ANYONE who has set their filters as not looking for men. And if someone signs up as a woman DO NOT show them profiles of ANYONE who has set their filters as not looking for women.

   There is zero reason to not have this as default behaviour by now. The way things are currently set up just pisses everyone off & frankly has caused a lot of gay men to blame trans people for “ruining the app” when there is such a simple fix!

2. Trans Tribe

   Bring back the trans tribe feature. Trans women can no longer search for men that are into them. This update makes the app useless For me and I have a paid unlimited account.

3. Please add a top/side bottom/side and versatile/side to choose from cuz I’m tired of getting hit on by bottoms.

   I think it would be cool to allow us to choose side along with what we prefer when we do have penetrative sex. Thanks!

4. Make options Sub / Master in “Position”

   There are many kinky guys on Grindr, and adding Sub (submissive) and Master to the Position section would be very helpful to connect faster.

5. Change "Tribes" to "My Tribe" and/or add a LF tribe category on one's profile

   Simple solution for those people, who uses the "Tribes" to say what they are looking for, rather than what they are...
   The Tribes filter makes no sense this way. When looking for "daddy" I don't wanna see a 18 year old kid...

6. Add more options to the body type

   Adding more options for the bigger people in the app would increase the accuracy of what they are trying to convey but also how they identify. There needs to be more than STOCKY or LARGE. Let’s try and add some more like: husky, chubby, thick, belly, dad bod.

7. Interested In Profile Listing

   Allow people to add “types” they’re interested in. (I.e. twinks, jocks, daddies, younger, older, etc.) might help with Not Interested or initial messages in the first place.

9. Dont have ethnicity option, and should also let us upload video

   It’s clear that yal don’t care about what people been wanting and that’s ethnicity filter back. Yal unlimited upgrade is a joke it’s pricey yet we don’t have the ethnicity filter and can’t even upload more intimate pictures. It would be a fair price if yal at least let members who are paying for that upgrade to upload pictures that are a little more intimate.

10. “Not interested” tap option

    Taps. Currently we have the flame, devil and friendly hello tap option. Why don’t we have a “not interested” tap option too? A lot of people have problems with being ignored by others when someone isn’t interested in them. However, people also cannot be bothered to reject others with words - it’s too much effort. This update to the tap mechanism could kill two birds with one stone. It makes it less time/energy consuming to reject people with just a click of a button. AND the guys who feel invalidated when being ignored, can get an answer - instead of pestering folk for answers. I believe this is pretty efficient and is better for everyone’s mental health.

12. Prevent people from outside of your age filter from messaging you

    Not being sexually attracted to males or females does not make me a sexist.

    Not being sexually attracted to certain ages does not make me an ageist.

    Personally I prefer people around my age and I'm tired of people double my age messaging me. I understand age gaps don't matter to some folks, so please give everyone an OPTION for us that do care to prevent people from outside our age filters from messaging us. And yes, I did specify my age range preference on my profile.

    Thank you :)

15. Fix the filters for straight trans women

    The new gender filter is... well I see what you were trying to do with it. However, it screwed over straight trans women even more than before.

    How am I supposed to browse straight/bi men who are into people like me? All I can do is say I’m looking for “men” but of course it’s a gay app so the vast majority aren’t here for trans women.

    It’s absolutely useless for me to browse a grid of men who 9/10 times are not even into my boobs. And I’m sorry but I downright refuse to hit on gay men looking for one of them to be bi or straight on an app where they come to meet other men primarily.

    At least before I could check out the trans tribe as a lot of cishet and cisbi guys would put that in their bio in order to signal they were into women.

    This is doubly bad for stealth trans women as it pressures them to publicly out themselves on the app in order to get men hitting on them, as waiting for them to message is the only reliable way to find the needles in the haystack.

    Why not at least allow me to filter out any guy who isn’t looking for women?? Super disappointing.

16. Not enough inclusivity

    I think perhaps Grindr should rebrand into something less aggressive, like Findr, then also should be a site where everyone can have an opportunity to find friendship, sex, dates, whatever else, in the same fast fashion of IM and taps, with expanded filters to narrow down what we are looking for including heteronormative relationships, bisexual relationships, fetishists, gender-fluid relationships, and really sell the idea that everyone everywhere can find the gratification we gays seek out in the same fashion, without making people who are not "gay" men only feel excluded or shamed for their particular sexual interest. While keeping within the confines of law of course, all people should feel they can be should they choose to be, sexually desired. There truly is someone out there for everyone, and the more that idea is spread, regardless of preference I feel that deviance for deviance sake will die out. People won't have to feel like they're doing something wrong and resort to expressing themselves in the shadows for fear of being shamed in the mainstream. We all like sex, we all like to feel wanted, and we all need a safe, welcoming, inclusive app to do that in. Grindr has a great formula that many people have found enticing, but hasn't had the platform for making said people (bisexuals for instance, who want both men and women at the same time) feel they can find both men and women who are interested at the same time, in the same place. That's all, thanks for your time and consideration.
    Best,
    Brandon

19. Undo the 'gender filter' changes made on 26 April 2023.

    On 26 April 2023 you removed the 'Trans Tribe' filter and replaced it with the 'Gender filter.'

    I'm an Xtra subscriber and you haven't 'replaced' anything. The 'Trans Tribe' filter is gone and there is no 'gender filter' showing anywhere in my app, so you haven't replaced one with the other, you've removed it and anything resembling it within Grindr Xtra.

    I can only assume, therefore, that you've locked it behind the Grindr Unlimited tier and expect us to pay £25.99 per month or £311.88 annually to unlock that core feature - something I refuse to do because it's frankly extortionate. You can get Amazon Prime, Netflix, Paramount+ and Disney+ for a year for that sort of money!

    People being unable to find their desired type, following a huge influx of CIS and trans women to Grindr over the last few years, has been a recurring complaint on these suggestions forums and in the Google Play Store reviews for Grindr which, two to three years ago, had a considerably higher rating.

    Grindr seems to have decided that, rather than address those concerns and complaints, they would instead capitalise on them.

    Space on the grid is very limited. As a gay man, I would routinely use the 'Trans Tribe' filter to filter and then block CIS and trans women, to restrict my grid and who shows up to being exclusively men. I can no longer do that and, despite paying £12.99 for a month of Grindr Xtra, I can't search by gender either because the option is not there, without paying an additional and extortionate £25.99 to upgrade a second time to Grindr Unlimited.

    I also have concerns about the business practice of taking a feature that is available as part of the Xtra subscription and then locking it behind a higher tier after people have paid for the lower tier, including the feature you've just restricted behind a higher pay wall. It has a feeling of fraud, like a scam.

    A dealership cannot sell an all inclusive, parts and labour warranty on a car for a month and then, one week in, change the terms to exclude the engine. You can't do this either and I am referring it to Google Play.

    You need to make the gender filter available to Xtra subscribers or reintroduce the 'Trans Tribe.'

    You also previously claimed that the ethnicity filter was racist and offensive and removed it (I don't see a problem with sexual preferences). Following your logic, is the new pay walled gender filter not offensive and sexist and/or transphobic by using exactly the same reasoning, logic and thought processes that resulted in the ethnicity filter being offensive and removed?

    If you allow a gender filter, then you concede that sexual preferences do exist. If you concede that sexual preferences do exist, then you concede that on that same basis and by that same logic, people may find certain ethnicities to be more attractive to themselves personally, as a preference (for example I am Caucasian, but I find myself attracted to Middle Eastern/Arab men more than any other group - without excluding anyone - that's just the type I gravitate towards!). I can't help that I'm attracted to darker skin, darker eyes, dark hair and, more often than not, a lot of body hair. It's no different to the way that I cannot help that I am not attracted to CIS or trans women. I'm not sexist because I'm gay.

    Ethnicity filters should be reintroduced and at Grindr Xtra level. Gender filters should be lowered to free Grindr level, as they are arguably the most core features that all users need. It's also the feature most likely to be used to gauge the eyes out of a captive audience and it's open to abuse as such.

    Today's changes give the impression that Grindr has finally lost the plot and all common sense. It crosses a line that is going to alienate a lot of customers. For years you've pushed the community, testing our limits and resolve by gradually locking more and more features behind pay walls.

    That said, this is a step too far and I hope there is appropriate backlash.
