Share your experience!

Hey my lovelies! Thanks so much for the responses, now, let me share my experience on gay dating apps!
I’ve been on gay dating apps for about 5 years, and throughout this time, I’ve yet to find a single person who’s truly committed to be in a relationship. I’ve noticed some...

Problems with our community in these dating apps. They are (not limited to) high expectations for physical traits, porn-star gred sex, racism disguised as sexual preferences, discreetly internalized homophobia against some traits, and obsession with one time hook-ups. These...

factors have contributed to the prevalent negaitvity of the dating apps in general, as many persons who don’t fit their strict set of high expectations tend to be rejected, and they, in turn feel dejected. Not to mention, to get attention and dm’s some would cat-fish by using...

Pictures that fit the ideal narrative of a hot and sexy gay person, of (for guys) to be tall, muscular and straight-acting, and that’s just a small piece of the problems that exist. However, the question now to be pondered is that, is these so-called preferences justifiable? Cont

Perhaps, perhaps not. Because a conclusion (albeit premature) can be drawn that, in these dating apps, people are just looking for avenues to fulfill the desires of the flesh, however not the heart and mind (i.e love and affection). Though don’t misconstrue my thoughts, it is not

wrong to seek for sex and pleasure as long as it is done safely (i.e safe sex). My hopes for our community is that these dating apps may someday become a good place to find for love and relationships, or even platonic connections. So, my dear starlights, I implore to all of you..

And myself, to try to be more accepting of love in all forms of shapes and sizes, and in all types of appearances and races.

A poem I’ve written to go along with this thread. Enjoy!
