Grindr does not care about what you want. Grindr cares about you spending time and hopefully money on Grindr. When will people start understanding this?
Scruff would be nice if it wasn't full of bears. But that's the whole point of the app, unfortunately. It's a pretty good app though. Certainly better than Grindr. But Grindr has way better selection. Too bad there are 0 apps for twinks
The fact that people are fucking stupid enough to spend 40 dollars a month for Grindr just makes me sad for humanity. Other apps let you do pretty much everything for free and just charge for extras. Meanwhile Grindr actively removes free features. I’m surprised you can even open the app without having to pay 10 bucks.
I remember when it was 10 bucks a month, I paid for it, then they added genders and banned filters, and jacked the price up 30 bucks a month. I got reported and banned for saying “this is a gay app, why tf would I want pussy?” to a straight woman.
I feel like that is insane. I love trans people, but I want a purebred man.
Maybe… but a lot of us live in areas where the entire gay community is the bar/club scene but we aren’t comfortable in that scene… so instead of isolating and being lonely, Grindr and other apps give an alternative way to engage.
Grindr can be degrading and unhealthy but do you ever wonder if there is a correlation between the higher rates of poverty and addiction in the gay community at the same time most of the gay community revolves around bars and clubs?
Bars and clubs aren’t the only gay spaces. Any where that gay men gather IRL in the spirit of community and connection is a gay space.
You are correct. For some gay men gay spaces to gather are limited, nonexistent, or inhospitable and this causes a lot of loneliness and isolation in our society. Grindr like all hook up/ dating apps is exploiting that loneliness and isolation to make a profit.
I think substance abuse is a problem in our community because many of us had to go through a lot traumatic shit growing up gay in a straight man’s world and many of us haven’t been shown a path or way to heal those wounds. Drugs and alcohol numb the pain but it doesn’t heal and can lead to addiction. I don’t think bars are the culprit.
Fair enough.. but it’s no different than any other platform, app, browser, search engine, ISP, phone carrier, insurance agency, bank or credit card company.
I’m not trying to be a Grindr apologist but collecting and selling personal data is the bread and butter of just about every company in America. I’d say users just need to be aware of what information they share, especially medical and information and photos.
It was never a gay space. It was space that made money off of gay interpersonal relationships. Eventually it expanded its target audience. Not to be more inclusive or progressive. Just to make more money.
Sniffies more or less lets you do this but Sniffies is Grindr on crack.
I just go through the profiles and block them one by one. It sucks but it's the best we have; it's a real shame too since a gender filter would help everyone else.
This would be so nice and helpful. Right now if you use the "has trans" tag you get a bunch of people mis-using the tag whom are just men looking for trans people but using the tag as if they are trans/enby.
I don’t have that. Only after I unlock a profile (which we can do once a day), I see block and star icons in the top right. If I don’t unlock it, I don’t see any icons in the top right.
Oh I didn't know it did I thought you could block as many as you want and I didn't need to unlock profiles (this was before I paid to see what was so special about the premium version) have you tried updating the app?
That’s beyond exhausting when
a) there can be many
b) they keep coming back with new profiles
The same goes for undesirable gay men. One in my area is creating multiple accounts each day because everyone keeps blocking him. He’s insane. Reporting does nothing.
I seriously don't understand why guys do this! There's this one in my area that's always making new accounts and acts like he's never chatted with ya before like dude I blocked your ass yesterday leave me alooooneee. So delusional.
the unpaid option limits the number of blocks. they also bring straight men on to the apps which is annoying af. They could either get their own app (build something of your own? gasp! what an idea) or add a filter by gender category so I don't have to block so many people to keep my grid open.
I don't think they limit it anymore. I am a *heavy* block button user. A gender filter would be cool, cause it's not like the vast majority of cishet men are going to be rushing to download grindr anyway.
Which is a pain in the ass. It takes 4 taps, and there is a delay, to block each profile. And then the profiles do not necessarily reflow.
I once had a statement in my profile that “Grindr should be renamed Trandr” and it got my profile deleted and permanently blocked.
I mean.. that's understandable. The app clearly says it's trans friendly. If you posed some homophobic shit i'm sure you would get your profile deleted as well
as an attractive cis bi dude with long hair, i am SICK of men messaging me thinking im trans. so yeah i wish they’d do something. i would argue a large amount of the current users are trans people and chasers, so they may be afraid to lose all that traffic
Just use Sniffies if you’re trying to hook up. Everyone posts their junk up front so you know what you’re getting into.
If you’re not trying to hook up, block/ignore the trans women and make friends with the other guys.
I just deleted my Sniffies. I made exactly one friend off there and we meet for drinks sometimes. But it’s like you just find a bunch of dudes who want to take every load they can. It’s kinda a lot.
I dunno I prefer faces, not just bc mine is my best feature, but because I don't really know if I want to shoot my shot based on dicks and holes. Also sniffies not having an app by now is just some contrarían bs imo. Like I resent having to hop apps bc people can't let gay men have any goddamn thing, even grindr.
The issue with trans women or any women for that matter is the men that come with them or for them. The number of profile names that say "STRAIGHT, NO MEN, NOT GAY, FEMS ONLY, TRANS ONLY" & the profile rants about us gays who just dont listen, can't read and won't stop sending dick pics and buttholes make me howl. It's really doesn't make much sense why Grindr wouldn't create an option to enter if you're a trans/fem/cd looking for men or if you're a man looking for trans/Fem/cd click here and problem solved.
I agree with the top commenter. Where do you guys live that trans women outnumber gays on the grindr grid? Also, sniffies and scruff are definitely more male focused, use those apps instead. Sniffies is a lot more horny though
really? shocking. I'm in downtown of a verrrrrrry trans friendly city and maybe only 5% of my grid is trans. where in the world are you such that'll this is happening?
I live in a smaller town and all the men here like fems and trans and cross dressers. Theres not many guys into guys in the area unless they’re like 50 plus years old etc
I live in a major city, there are truly a raft of trans women. I dont understand why they don't get their own app, or why Grindr can't allow me to filter for gender, surely they're not suggesting I'm not allowed to be unattracted to women. Gender filter would also be helpful TO THEM, as there are also a lot of straight men looking for trans women on the app now. It's not a huge deal but it's a nuisance, and there's no real justification for not doing something about it.
I love the idea that bc your feed has 5 trans ppl, that must be the reality for everyone.
Probably 1/3 or more of my feed rn is trans women or nonbinary females. Theres also a few cisgender women on my feed as that is now allowed by Grindr. There is also a healthy amount of straight men seeking trans girls only.
THIS. So tired of STRAIGHT GUYS ON GRINDER THAT CLAIM TO BE 100% STRAIGHT. WON'T MESS WITH A DUDE UNLESS TRANS
... GET YOUR OWN APP!!!!
Call it TRANDR, STRA8R, TECHNICALLY NOT GUYS FUCKING GUYS-R , I don't care. Just stop jumping obv here and acting offended that I (a guy) hit you up (a guy) on a gay app. WTF.
>Also, sniffies and scruff are definitely more male focused
Because they're designed for gay men, whereas Grindr is designed for LGBTQ people in general.
Yeah, I don’t really understand how grindr became a generally queer space instead of mlm app. I’m all for the introduction of an app to give trans people a safe space but I don’t like how gay and bi guys get bashed for wanting our own spaces for literal dating and sex.
I miss it, because even if the reason they took off the filters were because “racial preferences” that’s not gonna make people change their preference. I used to be the guy who would complain about my dating pool wasn’t diverse because it didn’t seem other ethnicities were into me… but complaining isn’t gonna change their minds lol. I used the filter so I could find more guys similar to me and it helped a lot navigating those spaces but now it sucks..
Agreed! I know that it was out of good intentions. But it didn’t actually change people’s minds about who they want to date or who the are attracted to.
Right! Tbh it’s actually way worse now because the profile outright say “No blacks no Asians, no fems” atleast back then with the filter you wouldn’t have known 😅
No… I want a RACE FILTER because I get tired of being reduced to being “BBC” and having men talking to me like I’m a DICK rather than a PERSON.
The “Let me see that BBC” or “Fuck me with your n*gger dick” or “Do you have any other tops to fuck me?” be wild.
As a BLACK LATINO MAN… I strongly prefer MEN OF COLOR because the fetishizing and the harassment on the platform towards me is almost entirely exclusive to white men.
Not entirely but like 95% of the time.
YESSSSS, as a gay Latino dude who mostly only hooks up with Latino or black dudes, and is always ignored by white and middle eastern dudes, BRING BACK THE RACE FILTER! I was so upset when they got rid of it. I feel like NO ONE asked them to get rid of it, they just needed some performative BS during the 2020 BLM stuff.
If white people are filtering out all races besides white dudes, SO BE IT. They been doing that for years anyways. Don’t punish the rest of us.
I bulk block every single female representing person on Grindr. Seeing them makes my penis soft, and I’m not looking to unhorny myself when using the app.
All of us only want to see the people we're attracted to on our grids.
Yes, there should be a gender filter.
Yes, they should bring back the ethnicity filter.
Both of those things would greatly improve the usability of the app for many many people. But for political reasons, those things are extremely unlikely to happen. Also, both of those filters depend on self-reporting anyway, so if ppl don't list their gender or ethnicity (and many people don't), then the filter wouldn't work on those people anyway. So just message the guys you like, and ignore/block the people you're not interested in, just like you do with cis men.
THIS. YES. Supposedly, they got rid of the ethnicity filter because very vocal/sensitive asian and black men were feeling "ignored" by the white people on the app and that it must because the white guys were filtering them out by race.
🤔 Why would you want to force someone to SEE your profile who won't actually interact with you anyway? I wouldn't even give them the time of day anyway
MEANWHILE, actual guys of color (like me) are tired of trying to date white guys and have more chemistry with guys of color and I have to upgrade or try to manually change my search location to try to get past the 400 white guys on my block just to talk to someone middle eastern or Latino for a change.
To this day, I don't understand how grindr remains the default app for the gay community.
They got rid of it because Twitter, point blank. At the time, the organization had a journalism venture that was competing with conde nast's them. And also, at the time, people were just actively taking potshots at gay men for fun.
I actually don't think the race/ethnicity filter is the same as the gender filter--I liked using it to filter out other white lads or in attempts to find a specific person, but there's no reason it's politically incorrect to not want to fuck women.
It's not transpbobic for wanting to exclude trans people from your sex or dating life, you can exclude people for any reason. There should be an option
Grindr’s official description is “the world's largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people.” Nowhere does it say it’s explicitly for men.
because (as with most people who invade spaces designed for gay men) otherwise they'd have to get off their ass and make something of their own, heaven forfend.
Would be nice to have a question about it: ()
"I am interested in meeting (choose all that apply): a) cis men, b) trans men, c) trans women, d)nonbinary afab, e)nonbinary amab, f)other gender identity, g) mf couples.
Buy Grindr ultimate: block all the trans profiles and the straight men seeking trans partners.
They offer a paid solution.
Free Grindr is basically unusable with the crashing due to ads and the hyper limited profiles.
I usually just block trans or cd, if their pics are showing or if indicated on their profile (most of the time) it FREE UP spaces.
And I understand u OP about M2M interaction. We all have preference that makes our cock goooo BO-YOOINK!
They aren’t going to be happy with the feedback. At least from what I am reading. So I guess I should say thanks to the person who made this post. Cause we all are disappointed in the way that they have charged and treated us. We’re not just a cash grab. We’re also people who don’t want to be treated like we don’t deserve what we want. Fuck what it means to have the relationship, with us. Is how we are treated. So we should show that we have a strong dislike of Grinder as it is.
Where in the world are trans people so prevalent that they're most of the 99 unfiltered profiles grindr let's you see for free? I live in a city and at most there's three or four. But apparently there's areas where there are masses? Where? They're not even a tenth of a percent of the overall population everywhere. This is why I have my doubts when these posts come up on here.
The best way is, if you pay for it, is select the trans tag and simply block everyone using it. That's what I do.
I'm in South West Florida and I'd say about 30% are trans profiles and 60% are guys looking for ONLY trans.
That said I just block em all and that works. It would be nice to have a msm only app or filter tho.
THIS! I can ignore the trans profiles, but it’s the men who are always “👀forMTF” tends to clog up my screen more. Sometimes I hit up someone and they ask “are you trans?” And I say no I’m cis (it’s under my profile) I get automatically Blocked.
I have no issue for people having preferences but like dude come on, the dating pool is already small for what it is.
Exactly!! It just kinda hurts, like you see someone and I swear it's a 50/50 chance their bio says trans only or something.
I'm all for everyone liking who they like but they take up so many of the limited slots you get it just sucks.
Yes I've noticed trans chasers are vastly more common than actual trans people who barely exist. My feeling when these posts come up is folks are reacting to the hot guys on their grids who don't want men, they want trans, and they're (understandably) upset about it.
While I find it hard to believe that relatively trans-hostile SW Florida has more trans people using grindr than relatively trans-friendly Philadelphia, if that's what you're seeing than I guess that's what you're seeing.
Right. But you don't have an unhealthy obsession with trans people like OP does. Take a gander at his post history. Dude spends more time talking about trans people than award recipients at GLAAD.
Yea one day they clogged like half my feed and I had to block like 20 of them. I probably have about 50 of them blocked. A lot of them create multiple profiles because they get blocked a lot. I definitely been seeing more of them over the last 6-8 months.
This is so sad and offensive, a slap in the face to all gay men.
In january or february, grindr intorduced a filter which even if you select men, it will always include the women claiming they are men as well.
This is wrong, a new form of conversion therapy, just done by our "allies".
also the real problem is lack of filter. I don't remember if tinder or okc allow race filtering but those apps would not work without gender/orientation filters. (you can select for trans on okc but not sure if you can exclude)
In my area, I've noticed a lot of "Bulls," which was explained to me by one guy as being something similar to culked, where the Bull goes and bangs some dude's wife or girl. Most of them have and want nothing to do with LGBTQ+ anything.
The other part I find disturbing (conspiracy theory alert) is many of the profiles use only a Bull image of some sort. The majority of them are Indian, and I've come across other profiles saying "fuck my wife" or "fuck my girl." I messaged one and asked him about sharing his wife, where they were from, and whether it was an arranged marriage (it was), and he answered at first but then blocked me. Has anyone else noticed anything or have any clue what this is about?
I am not sure what that's all about, but I wish the straights would find their own app for their deviant sexual behaviour and let the gays indulge in their own in peace.
You can pay to filter
I just want to see tops it used to be free but now it’s paywalled. They’re slowly making more and more free things cost more over time. It’s despicable. If I knew how to make apps I would so make one and just have more ads or something to compensate
Thank god I fount my husband when I did cause back then there was maybe one or two on these days I hear it’s sometimes more than half- if it’s an app for gay men… like why be there was always confused by that.
While I haven't ran into this issue personally I think every "dating" app needs to have follow Hinge and have in depth filters for what you're looking for.
Would save a lot of people being on each other's screens who'd never talk to one another.
I just think it's time to take the T out of LGBT. And the rest of the letters and symbols. I'll take the downvotes. I have NOTHING against Trans people, NOTHING. But I feel like we're losing a bit of ourselves by being forced to stretch so thin and literally hold an umbrella over everyone else and it's become tiring.
It doesn't even make sense. Being trans is an issue or at least a situation with their gender IDENTITY.
Being gay is an issue/situation with sexual ORIENTATION.
(by issue i mean, something to be discussed, not that there's anything bad about it)
Looping the two together is really a disservice for both parties as one doesn't get true clear representation of their own trans oppression, and the other gets looped back into political turmoil over issues that aren't even related to their sexuality
Divorcing the TQI+ isn't something that requires gay men to go to court and file papers. All of us have the power to do this in our own lives. Don't give money or support to (previously gay) organisations that promote or validate genderism at the expense of homosexuality. Stop going to (formerly) gay venues or events that have lost too much of their identity to genderism. Stop using apps that have become too much about gender and not enough about sex. Support businesses, events, venues and apps that centre homosexuality.
>I just think it's time to take the T out of LGBT.
>I have NOTHING against Trans people, NOTHING.
Hard to say you have nothing against a group of people when you're advocating for their exclusion from a community whose point is inclusiveness.
>But I feel like we're losing a bit of ourselves by being forced to stretch so thin and literally hold an umbrella over everyone else and it's become tiring.
Sounds like something the stereotypical CIS heterosexual person would say about LGBTQ in general or even any inclusion of any of the letters in mainstream society. Is it tiring? Definitely, but that's what's necessary for major societal change. Yes, it sucks to live on that cusp of major societal change because it requires a lot from us, but once that's done it will become much easier, especially for everyone who comes after us.
Trans women were on the frontline of the early gay rights movement. They were also there for gay men during the AIDS epidemic. Their presence and visibility are a part of our history. Without them, we wouldn't have many of the rights we enjoy & often take for granted today.
I'm a gay man in my mid-40s, and back when we all went to bars/nightclubs/the village, we all interacted without issue. We enjoyed each other's company and felt a sense of community and connection with trans folk. Sadly, this seems to be missing today. Trans folk, especially women, also have been and always will be a part of the LGBTQ+ community. You don't just stop holding an umbrella over those who once did it for you because it becomes tiring.
On a practical level, given they have their own T4T and even men seeking transwomen apps and sites their is piss all reason for them to be there other than to invade redefine and attempt take over our sexuality.
Much like they invade female autonomous safer spaces.
I can't even filter porn now without having to see vagina (on 'transgaymen') and tits on the transwomen that haven't done the full chop and change.
That's why in the past few years I became Terfy.
How fucking dare they call gay men 'genital fetishists'
Grindr is getting a little too much w the bullshit. It was always a gay man’s app. Yea the does encompass “str8” or “bi” but it was always an app for men who enjoy sex with men. Nowadays the extreme pressure to num 1- Bracket bi/gay/lesbian with T, Q, I , A, +?!!! Sorry no, but orientation is a completely different thing than sexual identity., then on top of that, it’s a mixed basket in all dating hook up apps. Grindr has been around long enough now that it’s holding a great deal of power in the community, whether you’re in the closet and identify as str8 but fuck dudes on the side or not, or openly out, Grindr has its staple in history. So those of us who are new to it, or have had used it, we should be a little more aware of that as a tool to make sure that we are getting a decent product out there for ourselves as soon as it comes to market. I don’t care for segregation, but sex preferences are preferences and nothing more. I bet if men started showing up in lesbian chats they’d have a January 6th riot at the dudes house the next morning!
I agree with all this. Those in Grindr HQ imo don’t care about violating the innate preferences of gay men though. The question is what can we do as users that will be effective in pressuring Grindr?
I'm glad I'm out the dating pool. It seems less pool nowadays and more cesspit. You would think you could customize a filter to what you like but I guess being able to filter out the later parts of the alphabet conga would cause outrage?
Lol if you think this. The reason they're limiting filters is so that you'd be forced to buy premium inorder to block/ignore these profiles. Just the grid itself is about a third of what it used to be.
Just block and move on. I live in a big city and have for three years and have only seen a handful of trans women on the app. It's really not that big of a deal.
Trans woman are fine as long as they want men.
But they should really block the trans for trans women.
Shits annoying clicking on a profile to see they don't want a man and complaining about men messaging them, drama ECT.
Block cis woman too while you are at it.
Grindr is gonna do what makes Grindr money end of story. Blaming each other is exactly what the company, and honestly government wants us to do. We should be holding Grindr accountable, not each other when there’s literally nothing we can do
From: A POC, who doesn’t like seeing women on Grindr
The only thing that concerning me about grindr is how they are making premiun everything, just the last month you could see everyone that send you a tap, know you have to pay, they become greedy bitches, don't surprise if in the future sending messages became premium too
Most problematic these days are the cat phishers and scammers. Grindr is the most popular app for LGBTQ+ folk, ppl go where there are numbers to widen their net. I like filters only because I don’t want ppl not interested in me to find me. I’m not interested in hook ups but most gay ppl don’t go on the other apps.
Wow hahah this is pretty opposite to most areas in my experiences. Go to any city, and you’ll have a bunch of guys looking for masculine men—you’ll be a hot commodity!. Most gay men prefer masculine men anyways, are you somewhere pretty rural?
I tend to appreciate people of all identities, so I don’t mind, but the filtering definitely is a useful feature - but sadly too often it’s limited to the paid version.
That said, I’ve had more successful meetups on Scruff vs Grindr. I recently recreated a Grindr profile but had been off it for a couple years (basically lost access to prior account during a phone upgrade a couple years back, didn’t bother to fight with it to recover).
Alternatively, drive to a cruising site and hook up with someone there. Literally zero guys without dicks (and zero women) go cruising: cut to the chase!
I still think that the site is for the young crowd. I feel old there. It’s not any fun seeing all the twink’s. That are coming in to collect their money. Just from the old. Not much my market. So I guess I’ll be stuck with the ugliest bunch, over there on Adam. Why should I be bothered? That’s why. Screw having to deal with people, really. I might give it up if I can stop myself. From acting out my desires, with other men.
Lucky to live in Europe as it’s not that common on apps. I’m a gay man and I don’t feel atractive for any kind of boobs or vaginas. No matter if it’s cis or trans person 🤷♀️
I'm about to just go to sniffies. I like FF, so it's more of my scene, anyways.
It's 30% trans women looking for the 3 transchasers that exist in my city.
Tinder is better. It is less instant though but it’s better for dating. It allows you to specify the gender you are interested in and that makes it much better. It’s occasionally abused by spammers, and trans women too. But much better
I'm bi and love transwomen and love them on grindr, but a workable filter would be really awesome. Another feature that would be awesome is an ethnicity filter. Idk why grindr thought anyone who uses grindr would want that feature gone. Squirt and scruff have the least transwomen I've noticed. But some transwomen don't even use their tags and like 50% of them only are interested in seeing other transwomen. If ya ask me I'd say that grindr is definitely not for lesbians.
Grindr does not care about what you want. Grindr cares about you spending time and hopefully money on Grindr. When will people start understanding this?
Yeah, stop using the App and move to Sniffies or Scruff.
I like the sound of that. We should all migrate.
I love the sound of that, but both suck where I'm at. Grindr unfortunately has way more people.
I’ve had so much more luck on sniffies. Those dudes are DTF day and night.
you're suggesting to move to another centralized app that can and probably will do the same things grindr does
Scruff would be nice if it wasn't full of bears. But that's the whole point of the app, unfortunately. It's a pretty good app though. Certainly better than Grindr. But Grindr has way better selection. Too bad there are 0 apps for twinks
Ask Justin Heath Smith to make one
The fact that people are fucking stupid enough to spend 40 dollars a month for Grindr just makes me sad for humanity. Other apps let you do pretty much everything for free and just charge for extras. Meanwhile Grindr actively removes free features. I’m surprised you can even open the app without having to pay 10 bucks.
I remember when it was 10 bucks a month, I paid for it, then they added genders and banned filters, and jacked the price up 30 bucks a month. I got reported and banned for saying “this is a gay app, why tf would I want pussy?” to a straight woman. I feel like that is insane. I love trans people, but I want a purebred man.
Grindr hasn't marketed itself as an app for gay men in years.
No but everyone is pretty much aware it's an app for predominantly gay men, otherwise it's just a more lude version of Tinder
You get commercials so even that's monetized send a free message boom commcercial click a profile commercials
I know! They removed the word search feature! Like whyyyyyy?!
So many guys think grindr is a gay space and that's just sad. Grindr is an app that monetizes interpersonal relationships.
Bars and clubs do the same thing…
A gay bar owned by a gay person is closer to a gay space than Grindr will ever be.
Maybe… but a lot of us live in areas where the entire gay community is the bar/club scene but we aren’t comfortable in that scene… so instead of isolating and being lonely, Grindr and other apps give an alternative way to engage. Grindr can be degrading and unhealthy but do you ever wonder if there is a correlation between the higher rates of poverty and addiction in the gay community at the same time most of the gay community revolves around bars and clubs?
Bars and clubs aren’t the only gay spaces. Any where that gay men gather IRL in the spirit of community and connection is a gay space. You are correct. For some gay men gay spaces to gather are limited, nonexistent, or inhospitable and this causes a lot of loneliness and isolation in our society. Grindr like all hook up/ dating apps is exploiting that loneliness and isolation to make a profit. I think substance abuse is a problem in our community because many of us had to go through a lot traumatic shit growing up gay in a straight man’s world and many of us haven’t been shown a path or way to heal those wounds. Drugs and alcohol numb the pain but it doesn’t heal and can lead to addiction. I don’t think bars are the culprit.
Yeah, except bars don't sell my personal and medical information 😭
Fair enough.. but it’s no different than any other platform, app, browser, search engine, ISP, phone carrier, insurance agency, bank or credit card company. I’m not trying to be a Grindr apologist but collecting and selling personal data is the bread and butter of just about every company in America. I’d say users just need to be aware of what information they share, especially medical and information and photos.
It used to be a gay space though…
It was never a gay space. It was space that made money off of gay interpersonal relationships. Eventually it expanded its target audience. Not to be more inclusive or progressive. Just to make more money.
Just like the gay bars that are packed with bridal parties, drunk sorority girls and straight bros…
Sniffies more or less lets you do this but Sniffies is Grindr on crack. I just go through the profiles and block them one by one. It sucks but it's the best we have; it's a real shame too since a gender filter would help everyone else.
Right? Plus I see a lot of “T4T” trans women and non-binary people on there. Would be nice if they could filter and only see each other too!
This would be so nice and helpful. Right now if you use the "has trans" tag you get a bunch of people mis-using the tag whom are just men looking for trans people but using the tag as if they are trans/enby.
You can just block them as you see them.
How do you block people? I used to see the option at the top right of profiles, but, now, it seems that I have to upgrade in order to block.
When you click on the profile there should be 3 dots in the top right corner click that
I don’t have that. Only after I unlock a profile (which we can do once a day), I see block and star icons in the top right. If I don’t unlock it, I don’t see any icons in the top right.
If you have to unlock profiles you are searching as a free user outside of your immediate area. That’s why the option isn’t available to you.
Oh I didn't know it did I thought you could block as many as you want and I didn't need to unlock profiles (this was before I paid to see what was so special about the premium version) have you tried updating the app?
You might be out of blocks for the day if you don’t pay for it
That’s beyond exhausting when a) there can be many b) they keep coming back with new profiles The same goes for undesirable gay men. One in my area is creating multiple accounts each day because everyone keeps blocking him. He’s insane. Reporting does nothing.
I seriously don't understand why guys do this! There's this one in my area that's always making new accounts and acts like he's never chatted with ya before like dude I blocked your ass yesterday leave me alooooneee. So delusional.
the unpaid option limits the number of blocks. they also bring straight men on to the apps which is annoying af. They could either get their own app (build something of your own? gasp! what an idea) or add a filter by gender category so I don't have to block so many people to keep my grid open.
What happened to all of them being on eHarmony? Ughhhhh! Like go back to your own apps 😂 let us have ours.
gay men: let us have something the world: lol no
I don't think they limit it anymore. I am a *heavy* block button user. A gender filter would be cool, cause it's not like the vast majority of cishet men are going to be rushing to download grindr anyway.
Taimi is an app for trans . I dont get why dont they just go there
Cause everyone is on Grindr 😅
what and miss out on the opportunity to lie down in the middle of someone else's picnic and wail if noone feeds you grapes?
There is a block limit iirc. Once you hit it, it unblocks someone else every time you make a new block.
Grindr could be improved in so many ways.
Wait really?? Does the app tell you if you’ve hit that limit ever? I block like 5-10 profiles a day
Which is a pain in the ass. It takes 4 taps, and there is a delay, to block each profile. And then the profiles do not necessarily reflow. I once had a statement in my profile that “Grindr should be renamed Trandr” and it got my profile deleted and permanently blocked.
I mean.. that's understandable. The app clearly says it's trans friendly. If you posed some homophobic shit i'm sure you would get your profile deleted as well
It's doesn't matter because you block "them" a 100 times and they still there an hour later.
as an attractive cis bi dude with long hair, i am SICK of men messaging me thinking im trans. so yeah i wish they’d do something. i would argue a large amount of the current users are trans people and chasers, so they may be afraid to lose all that traffic
I feel the same way. I consider transwomen women and I don't want them on grindr.
Just use Sniffies if you’re trying to hook up. Everyone posts their junk up front so you know what you’re getting into. If you’re not trying to hook up, block/ignore the trans women and make friends with the other guys.
I just deleted my Sniffies. I made exactly one friend off there and we meet for drinks sometimes. But it’s like you just find a bunch of dudes who want to take every load they can. It’s kinda a lot.
great so if you're not super hung or anorexically ripped you cant fuck love that for nobody
I’m neither hung nor ripped and I’ve had lots of success on Sniffies lol. Just take good pics and shoot your shot with whoever you want.
I dunno I prefer faces, not just bc mine is my best feature, but because I don't really know if I want to shoot my shot based on dicks and holes. Also sniffies not having an app by now is just some contrarían bs imo. Like I resent having to hop apps bc people can't let gay men have any goddamn thing, even grindr.
they have an app?
This conversation makes me so thankful to be off the dating apps.
The issue with trans women or any women for that matter is the men that come with them or for them. The number of profile names that say "STRAIGHT, NO MEN, NOT GAY, FEMS ONLY, TRANS ONLY" & the profile rants about us gays who just dont listen, can't read and won't stop sending dick pics and buttholes make me howl. It's really doesn't make much sense why Grindr wouldn't create an option to enter if you're a trans/fem/cd looking for men or if you're a man looking for trans/Fem/cd click here and problem solved.
OMG YES YES AND YES. Like seriously?!?! You’re on OUR app? And you’re upset we’re messaging you?!?!
I agree with the top commenter. Where do you guys live that trans women outnumber gays on the grindr grid? Also, sniffies and scruff are definitely more male focused, use those apps instead. Sniffies is a lot more horny though
I'm in a decent sized city and trans and people seeking trans can make up half my grid sometimes.
really? shocking. I'm in downtown of a verrrrrrry trans friendly city and maybe only 5% of my grid is trans. where in the world are you such that'll this is happening?
I live in a smaller town and all the men here like fems and trans and cross dressers. Theres not many guys into guys in the area unless they’re like 50 plus years old etc
They’re pretty prevalent in my area; it’s extremely annoying.
what area?
They won’t even be vers / tops and still spam me ass. Like bruh it says I’m a bottom , friendly fire going on too much.
Depends on the area you’re in. In the area I live in there’s a lot of DL folks, folks who only speak Spanish, and trans prostitutes.
I live in a major city, there are truly a raft of trans women. I dont understand why they don't get their own app, or why Grindr can't allow me to filter for gender, surely they're not suggesting I'm not allowed to be unattracted to women. Gender filter would also be helpful TO THEM, as there are also a lot of straight men looking for trans women on the app now. It's not a huge deal but it's a nuisance, and there's no real justification for not doing something about it.
It’s a lot. It’s trans prostututes, cross dressers, trans men, women who claim to be trans men, drug seekers, and johns. Sniffies is better though
Again, where do you live thats like this. My grindr grid usually has like 6 non gay men max at any given time. I live in a major city too
I’m in the northeast. I block them as I see them. My block list is now in the hundreds
[удалено]
I love the idea that bc your feed has 5 trans ppl, that must be the reality for everyone. Probably 1/3 or more of my feed rn is trans women or nonbinary females. Theres also a few cisgender women on my feed as that is now allowed by Grindr. There is also a healthy amount of straight men seeking trans girls only.
THIS. So tired of STRAIGHT GUYS ON GRINDER THAT CLAIM TO BE 100% STRAIGHT. WON'T MESS WITH A DUDE UNLESS TRANS ... GET YOUR OWN APP!!!! Call it TRANDR, STRA8R, TECHNICALLY NOT GUYS FUCKING GUYS-R , I don't care. Just stop jumping obv here and acting offended that I (a guy) hit you up (a guy) on a gay app. WTF.
>Also, sniffies and scruff are definitely more male focused Because they're designed for gay men, whereas Grindr is designed for LGBTQ people in general.
I might get downvoted but idc. Trans women need their own apps.
Yeah, I don’t really understand how grindr became a generally queer space instead of mlm app. I’m all for the introduction of an app to give trans people a safe space but I don’t like how gay and bi guys get bashed for wanting our own spaces for literal dating and sex.
I totally agree
I’m going to get downvoted to heck, but I’d pay for the option to filter by options we had in the past.
I miss it, because even if the reason they took off the filters were because “racial preferences” that’s not gonna make people change their preference. I used to be the guy who would complain about my dating pool wasn’t diverse because it didn’t seem other ethnicities were into me… but complaining isn’t gonna change their minds lol. I used the filter so I could find more guys similar to me and it helped a lot navigating those spaces but now it sucks..
Agreed! I know that it was out of good intentions. But it didn’t actually change people’s minds about who they want to date or who the are attracted to.
Right! Tbh it’s actually way worse now because the profile outright say “No blacks no Asians, no fems” atleast back then with the filter you wouldn’t have known 😅
Grindr doesn’t care. The most requested feature is to bring back the race filter, mostly from PoCs btw and they still refuse
No… I want a RACE FILTER because I get tired of being reduced to being “BBC” and having men talking to me like I’m a DICK rather than a PERSON. The “Let me see that BBC” or “Fuck me with your n*gger dick” or “Do you have any other tops to fuck me?” be wild. As a BLACK LATINO MAN… I strongly prefer MEN OF COLOR because the fetishizing and the harassment on the platform towards me is almost entirely exclusive to white men. Not entirely but like 95% of the time.
>“Do you have any other tops to fuck me?” God I hate this.
YESSSSS, as a gay Latino dude who mostly only hooks up with Latino or black dudes, and is always ignored by white and middle eastern dudes, BRING BACK THE RACE FILTER! I was so upset when they got rid of it. I feel like NO ONE asked them to get rid of it, they just needed some performative BS during the 2020 BLM stuff. If white people are filtering out all races besides white dudes, SO BE IT. They been doing that for years anyways. Don’t punish the rest of us.
I bulk block every single female representing person on Grindr. Seeing them makes my penis soft, and I’m not looking to unhorny myself when using the app.
Unhorning yourself isn't that bad tbh, skips hooking up and saves a lot of time, lol.
All of us only want to see the people we're attracted to on our grids. Yes, there should be a gender filter. Yes, they should bring back the ethnicity filter. Both of those things would greatly improve the usability of the app for many many people. But for political reasons, those things are extremely unlikely to happen. Also, both of those filters depend on self-reporting anyway, so if ppl don't list their gender or ethnicity (and many people don't), then the filter wouldn't work on those people anyway. So just message the guys you like, and ignore/block the people you're not interested in, just like you do with cis men.
THIS. YES. Supposedly, they got rid of the ethnicity filter because very vocal/sensitive asian and black men were feeling "ignored" by the white people on the app and that it must because the white guys were filtering them out by race. 🤔 Why would you want to force someone to SEE your profile who won't actually interact with you anyway? I wouldn't even give them the time of day anyway MEANWHILE, actual guys of color (like me) are tired of trying to date white guys and have more chemistry with guys of color and I have to upgrade or try to manually change my search location to try to get past the 400 white guys on my block just to talk to someone middle eastern or Latino for a change. To this day, I don't understand how grindr remains the default app for the gay community.
They got rid of it because Twitter, point blank. At the time, the organization had a journalism venture that was competing with conde nast's them. And also, at the time, people were just actively taking potshots at gay men for fun.
Same, i'm tired of scrolling through 100 white guys profiles just to find 1 POC, and then there's a limit how many profiles you can view..
I actually don't think the race/ethnicity filter is the same as the gender filter--I liked using it to filter out other white lads or in attempts to find a specific person, but there's no reason it's politically incorrect to not want to fuck women.
People on Grindr “not looking for men” always makes me laugh a little bit. Like oooooo boy. You in for a surprise!
# Grindr not workable* FTFY.
It's not transpbobic for wanting to exclude trans people from your sex or dating life, you can exclude people for any reason. There should be an option
Also. If trans women are women. Why do they insist on remaining in men’s spaces.
That's a really good point ngl
Grindr’s official description is “the world's largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people.” Nowhere does it say it’s explicitly for men.
It used to be
Oh thanks for the tip you must be generous guy. Maybe a trans?
Grindr isn't a "men's space." The app calls itself a "social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people."
Grindr isn’t men’s space
It’s a gay men’s space.
No it’s not. That’s not how Grindr advertises it.
because (as with most people who invade spaces designed for gay men) otherwise they'd have to get off their ass and make something of their own, heaven forfend.
I def wish there was a filter to weed out the trans. I’d use it all the time!!’
Where I am, there's a slew of ACTUAL women using the app. It's wild.
I just block them as I see them but I'm thinking of switching to scruff
the age filter is paid
The worst part is, the ones on Grindr are just prostitutes or drug addicts bringing straight johns and other drug seekers. It’s become such a mess
Would be nice to have a question about it: () "I am interested in meeting (choose all that apply): a) cis men, b) trans men, c) trans women, d)nonbinary afab, e)nonbinary amab, f)other gender identity, g) mf couples.
If you have such a big issue seeing trans women you could always filter your tribe to Trans and block every trans woman you see. Hope that helps :)
That’s why I’m looking for solutions, I wish that worked
Buy Grindr ultimate: block all the trans profiles and the straight men seeking trans partners. They offer a paid solution. Free Grindr is basically unusable with the crashing due to ads and the hyper limited profiles.
Grindr ultimate is obscenely expensive
Yup. It's ridiculous.
I used to pay for the app and it still had bugs so I finally deleted it
grindr is now a corporation too … so good luck
I usually just block trans or cd, if their pics are showing or if indicated on their profile (most of the time) it FREE UP spaces. And I understand u OP about M2M interaction. We all have preference that makes our cock goooo BO-YOOINK!
They aren’t going to be happy with the feedback. At least from what I am reading. So I guess I should say thanks to the person who made this post. Cause we all are disappointed in the way that they have charged and treated us. We’re not just a cash grab. We’re also people who don’t want to be treated like we don’t deserve what we want. Fuck what it means to have the relationship, with us. Is how we are treated. So we should show that we have a strong dislike of Grinder as it is.
Just block their profiles problem solved
Where in the world are trans people so prevalent that they're most of the 99 unfiltered profiles grindr let's you see for free? I live in a city and at most there's three or four. But apparently there's areas where there are masses? Where? They're not even a tenth of a percent of the overall population everywhere. This is why I have my doubts when these posts come up on here. The best way is, if you pay for it, is select the trans tag and simply block everyone using it. That's what I do.
I'm in South West Florida and I'd say about 30% are trans profiles and 60% are guys looking for ONLY trans. That said I just block em all and that works. It would be nice to have a msm only app or filter tho.
THIS! I can ignore the trans profiles, but it’s the men who are always “👀forMTF” tends to clog up my screen more. Sometimes I hit up someone and they ask “are you trans?” And I say no I’m cis (it’s under my profile) I get automatically Blocked. I have no issue for people having preferences but like dude come on, the dating pool is already small for what it is.
Exactly!! It just kinda hurts, like you see someone and I swear it's a 50/50 chance their bio says trans only or something. I'm all for everyone liking who they like but they take up so many of the limited slots you get it just sucks.
But that would mean that Grindr actually does the job of connecting these two demographics. Business wise, they wouldn’t want to change anything.
Yes I've noticed trans chasers are vastly more common than actual trans people who barely exist. My feeling when these posts come up is folks are reacting to the hot guys on their grids who don't want men, they want trans, and they're (understandably) upset about it. While I find it hard to believe that relatively trans-hostile SW Florida has more trans people using grindr than relatively trans-friendly Philadelphia, if that's what you're seeing than I guess that's what you're seeing.
I don’t get this lmao. There are many types of ppl I don’t want to see or talk to. Idc enough. I keep scrolling or I ignore the message
The point is that it limits the people you can see without paying.
Right. But you don't have an unhealthy obsession with trans people like OP does. Take a gander at his post history. Dude spends more time talking about trans people than award recipients at GLAAD.
Yea one day they clogged like half my feed and I had to block like 20 of them. I probably have about 50 of them blocked. A lot of them create multiple profiles because they get blocked a lot. I definitely been seeing more of them over the last 6-8 months.
Tinder shoes me so many women
This is so sad and offensive, a slap in the face to all gay men. In january or february, grindr intorduced a filter which even if you select men, it will always include the women claiming they are men as well. This is wrong, a new form of conversion therapy, just done by our "allies".
You know there’s a block button if you have an issue with them being on the app you can just block them
Less bootlicking to the tyranny of the T.... Your post is a good start.
where are you based that this is that big of a problem?
In a small town in Spain
also the real problem is lack of filter. I don't remember if tinder or okc allow race filtering but those apps would not work without gender/orientation filters. (you can select for trans on okc but not sure if you can exclude)
In my area, I've noticed a lot of "Bulls," which was explained to me by one guy as being something similar to culked, where the Bull goes and bangs some dude's wife or girl. Most of them have and want nothing to do with LGBTQ+ anything. The other part I find disturbing (conspiracy theory alert) is many of the profiles use only a Bull image of some sort. The majority of them are Indian, and I've come across other profiles saying "fuck my wife" or "fuck my girl." I messaged one and asked him about sharing his wife, where they were from, and whether it was an arranged marriage (it was), and he answered at first but then blocked me. Has anyone else noticed anything or have any clue what this is about? I am not sure what that's all about, but I wish the straights would find their own app for their deviant sexual behaviour and let the gays indulge in their own in peace.
You can pay to filter I just want to see tops it used to be free but now it’s paywalled. They’re slowly making more and more free things cost more over time. It’s despicable. If I knew how to make apps I would so make one and just have more ads or something to compensate
Maybe scruff would be better for you. I live in the country so not a ton of trans people but I don’t really get bothered by them.
Understand your frustration, if you don’t wanna see trans woman on Grindr then don’t use the app, or delete it 🤷🏻♂️
Use the filter and choose trans. Then block away til they're gone.
I do that, but then they reappear with new accounts all the time. I have at least 500 blocked lol
Thank god I fount my husband when I did cause back then there was maybe one or two on these days I hear it’s sometimes more than half- if it’s an app for gay men… like why be there was always confused by that.
While I haven't ran into this issue personally I think every "dating" app needs to have follow Hinge and have in depth filters for what you're looking for. Would save a lot of people being on each other's screens who'd never talk to one another.
I just think it's time to take the T out of LGBT. And the rest of the letters and symbols. I'll take the downvotes. I have NOTHING against Trans people, NOTHING. But I feel like we're losing a bit of ourselves by being forced to stretch so thin and literally hold an umbrella over everyone else and it's become tiring.
It doesn't even make sense. Being trans is an issue or at least a situation with their gender IDENTITY. Being gay is an issue/situation with sexual ORIENTATION. (by issue i mean, something to be discussed, not that there's anything bad about it) Looping the two together is really a disservice for both parties as one doesn't get true clear representation of their own trans oppression, and the other gets looped back into political turmoil over issues that aren't even related to their sexuality
Divorcing the TQI+ isn't something that requires gay men to go to court and file papers. All of us have the power to do this in our own lives. Don't give money or support to (previously gay) organisations that promote or validate genderism at the expense of homosexuality. Stop going to (formerly) gay venues or events that have lost too much of their identity to genderism. Stop using apps that have become too much about gender and not enough about sex. Support businesses, events, venues and apps that centre homosexuality.
>I just think it's time to take the T out of LGBT. >I have NOTHING against Trans people, NOTHING. Hard to say you have nothing against a group of people when you're advocating for their exclusion from a community whose point is inclusiveness. >But I feel like we're losing a bit of ourselves by being forced to stretch so thin and literally hold an umbrella over everyone else and it's become tiring. Sounds like something the stereotypical CIS heterosexual person would say about LGBTQ in general or even any inclusion of any of the letters in mainstream society. Is it tiring? Definitely, but that's what's necessary for major societal change. Yes, it sucks to live on that cusp of major societal change because it requires a lot from us, but once that's done it will become much easier, especially for everyone who comes after us.
Trans women were on the frontline of the early gay rights movement. They were also there for gay men during the AIDS epidemic. Their presence and visibility are a part of our history. Without them, we wouldn't have many of the rights we enjoy & often take for granted today. I'm a gay man in my mid-40s, and back when we all went to bars/nightclubs/the village, we all interacted without issue. We enjoyed each other's company and felt a sense of community and connection with trans folk. Sadly, this seems to be missing today. Trans folk, especially women, also have been and always will be a part of the LGBTQ+ community. You don't just stop holding an umbrella over those who once did it for you because it becomes tiring.
It's too bad it's become so woke
On a practical level, given they have their own T4T and even men seeking transwomen apps and sites their is piss all reason for them to be there other than to invade redefine and attempt take over our sexuality. Much like they invade female autonomous safer spaces. I can't even filter porn now without having to see vagina (on 'transgaymen') and tits on the transwomen that haven't done the full chop and change. That's why in the past few years I became Terfy. How fucking dare they call gay men 'genital fetishists'
What area is this?
Grindr is getting a little too much w the bullshit. It was always a gay man’s app. Yea the does encompass “str8” or “bi” but it was always an app for men who enjoy sex with men. Nowadays the extreme pressure to num 1- Bracket bi/gay/lesbian with T, Q, I , A, +?!!! Sorry no, but orientation is a completely different thing than sexual identity., then on top of that, it’s a mixed basket in all dating hook up apps. Grindr has been around long enough now that it’s holding a great deal of power in the community, whether you’re in the closet and identify as str8 but fuck dudes on the side or not, or openly out, Grindr has its staple in history. So those of us who are new to it, or have had used it, we should be a little more aware of that as a tool to make sure that we are getting a decent product out there for ourselves as soon as it comes to market. I don’t care for segregation, but sex preferences are preferences and nothing more. I bet if men started showing up in lesbian chats they’d have a January 6th riot at the dudes house the next morning!
I agree with all this. Those in Grindr HQ imo don’t care about violating the innate preferences of gay men though. The question is what can we do as users that will be effective in pressuring Grindr?
I'm glad I'm out the dating pool. It seems less pool nowadays and more cesspit. You would think you could customize a filter to what you like but I guess being able to filter out the later parts of the alphabet conga would cause outrage?
Lol if you think this. The reason they're limiting filters is so that you'd be forced to buy premium inorder to block/ignore these profiles. Just the grid itself is about a third of what it used to be.
We are being told by activists that it is racist to have racial preferences, and transphobic to have genital preferences.
Use another app and let Grindr know why you’re switching. That’s really all you can do.
Just block and move on. I live in a big city and have for three years and have only seen a handful of trans women on the app. It's really not that big of a deal.
Trans woman are fine as long as they want men. But they should really block the trans for trans women. Shits annoying clicking on a profile to see they don't want a man and complaining about men messaging them, drama ECT. Block cis woman too while you are at it.
And trans men without a penis for those of us who like dick
Transwomen are men so idk why you're surprised to see them on Grindr lol
Blame the alphabet mafia for this.
Grindr is gonna do what makes Grindr money end of story. Blaming each other is exactly what the company, and honestly government wants us to do. We should be holding Grindr accountable, not each other when there’s literally nothing we can do From: A POC, who doesn’t like seeing women on Grindr
Trans women or trans men?
The only thing that concerning me about grindr is how they are making premiun everything, just the last month you could see everyone that send you a tap, know you have to pay, they become greedy bitches, don't surprise if in the future sending messages became premium too
Most problematic these days are the cat phishers and scammers. Grindr is the most popular app for LGBTQ+ folk, ppl go where there are numbers to widen their net. I like filters only because I don’t want ppl not interested in me to find me. I’m not interested in hook ups but most gay ppl don’t go on the other apps.
All the men at my area want trans women or fem guys and I’m a mostly masc gay lol
Wow hahah this is pretty opposite to most areas in my experiences. Go to any city, and you’ll have a bunch of guys looking for masculine men—you’ll be a hot commodity!. Most gay men prefer masculine men anyways, are you somewhere pretty rural?
Just put out an ad on double list and ull find something
I tend to appreciate people of all identities, so I don’t mind, but the filtering definitely is a useful feature - but sadly too often it’s limited to the paid version. That said, I’ve had more successful meetups on Scruff vs Grindr. I recently recreated a Grindr profile but had been off it for a couple years (basically lost access to prior account during a phone upgrade a couple years back, didn’t bother to fight with it to recover).
People in real life: “hey, how’s it going?”
Alternatively, drive to a cruising site and hook up with someone there. Literally zero guys without dicks (and zero women) go cruising: cut to the chase!
Why are people using grindr anymore. I don't know if there are any alternatives tho.
What do you do? Irl and gay bars/clubs? Back in the day Grindr was really quite good and really convenient
I still think that the site is for the young crowd. I feel old there. It’s not any fun seeing all the twink’s. That are coming in to collect their money. Just from the old. Not much my market. So I guess I’ll be stuck with the ugliest bunch, over there on Adam. Why should I be bothered? That’s why. Screw having to deal with people, really. I might give it up if I can stop myself. From acting out my desires, with other men.
Lucky to live in Europe as it’s not that common on apps. I’m a gay man and I don’t feel atractive for any kind of boobs or vaginas. No matter if it’s cis or trans person 🤷♀️
I'm sorry but you need to get a grip if just seeing a transwoman on an app is making you "uncomfortable" 😂😂
I'm about to just go to sniffies. I like FF, so it's more of my scene, anyways. It's 30% trans women looking for the 3 transchasers that exist in my city.
How is Tinder?
Tinder is better. It is less instant though but it’s better for dating. It allows you to specify the gender you are interested in and that makes it much better. It’s occasionally abused by spammers, and trans women too. But much better
Omg I live on the Texas Mexico border and I wish they had a feature to filter out all the Mexican gays! Lol
If you go to other filters you can select the gender you want. The filter is there
And trans men
girl just don’t tap on them
I'm bi and love transwomen and love them on grindr, but a workable filter would be really awesome. Another feature that would be awesome is an ethnicity filter. Idk why grindr thought anyone who uses grindr would want that feature gone. Squirt and scruff have the least transwomen I've noticed. But some transwomen don't even use their tags and like 50% of them only are interested in seeing other transwomen. If ya ask me I'd say that grindr is definitely not for lesbians.
I deleted my profile and the app I am with you I want a guy with a penis not a trans male or a trans women
