If you’re looking to meet gay guys for hookups, there are many different apps that can help. From apps like Grindr to those made just for scruffier men, there are plenty of options out there!
But how do you know which is the best gay hookup app? To help you out, we’ve put together a list of some of the top gay hookup apps.
Grindr
Grindr is a location-based, gay hookup app that allows users to browse through profiles and chat with other users. It offers a variety of communication options, including text and photo messages, and it supports video messages and voice notes.
Grindr also provides a help center that provides information about its features, answers FAQs and shares community resources. It also provides tips and suggestions to keep users safe.
Grindr is a great option for gay men who want to meet other gay men in their area, and it’s an excellent alternative to more serious dating apps. However, it isn’t the best app for meeting long-term romantic partners.
9monsters
9monsters is a unique gay social app originating in Japan with a central focus on Asia. It has three key features which are all exclusive functionality.
The main function of the app is “breeding” which is a pretty light RPG element that requires you to feed data into the app’s algorithm. The more people you breed, the more you level up, get better suggestions, etc.
But this also has the unfortunate side effect of adding a layer of promiscuity into the mix, which is often a thorn in the side for these apps.
While Hornet is similar to Grindr in many ways, it works much smoother and has less ads – which makes it a good choice for travel. It also offers community features that help you network beyond dating, so you can see what’s going on in your local gay scene.
We like that it also has a travel feature, which shows your location to other users, so you can set up a meet-up before you even leave the airport! Its search function is great, too, with filters for gay, straight, and bisexual.
Recon
Recon is a fetish dating app that is designed for gay men who love the naughty and kink world. It’s a safe and secure platform for men who want to hook up with other fetish lovers.
Signing up on Recon is a quick and easy process that requires your member name, email, date of birth, and preferred password. Once verified, you can start messaging with other members on the site.
It’s also a great way to meet new people from around the world. Its search feature allows you to look through the entire member list and find a match who matches your specific criteria.
In addition, you can view who has visited your profile and what their username is. Premium membership gives you access to these features, as well as advanced search filters that can help you get a more accurate match.
Blued
Blued is the largest gay dating app in the world. Launched in 2012, the app claims to have over 40 million users worldwide.
It’s a Grinder-like mobile social networking service that uses location-based services to display grids of profiles arranged by geographical proximity. It also operates live-streaming channels and offers professional sexual health and LGBTQ-related assisted reproduction services.
The app is free to download and use. Its main features include verified profiles, a timeline, and group conversations.
Like many gay dating apps, Blued also has ads. These 10 second, full-screen adverts are annoying and can get in the way of browsing other profiles.
The app also has a “Quick Chat” feature that pairs users in seconds based on spoken language and location. Members can choose to continue a conversation or leave it at any time. Moreover, the app allows for optional photo verification.
