Everyone has an opinion on the gay apps. They’ve become so ubiquitous and ingrained in our well-liked culture, they’re impossible to resist. I remember the first time I downloaded Grindr—shortly after it was released. Once The Recent York Times writers discovered it, the app planet seemed to explode with location-based dating apps.

What is the optimal gay dating app?

Introduction

“Here goes nothing”, I think to myself as I once again find myself downloading the ever-daunting dating LGBTQIA+ apps that will either be a root of unparalleled happiness or spiraling doom. Dating is undeniably terrifying. The whole concept of encounter strangers and entity vulnerable with them in the hopes that something comes out of that interaction, be that something a hook-up, a short or long term connection or maybe just even a friendship, is overwhelmingly bizarre. But the potential of that “something” maybe happening is in and of itself a truly beautiful experience. 

I constantly joke around with close friends that I am ready for a bond. I crave the emotional and physical intimacy that comes with one. My friends, being my most brutal advisors, always say the same thing, “Derek saying you hope for a relationship is worthless if you don’t put yourself out there.
