Do you consider Grindr, Growlr, Scruff, etc. primarily "dating" apps?

I heard this on a Youtube short that there is a plethora of "dating" apps for gay men but not for lesbians.

The people making this comment were straight.

My initial thought was that anyone who uses these apps knows they are not for "dating". Sure, I'm sure some guys meet partners and live happily ever after sometimes, but that is not what they are used for.

Or am I a giant whore and only seeing what I want to see?

I only “date” online

What is "dating" these days, anyway? Do people actually go out together and get to know each other in a non-sexual way anymore?

I keep hoping someone will use the app to invite ne to the malt shop to share a root beer float and hold hands, but no such luck!

The NYT refuses to acknowledge that Grindr is for sex, in its wedding pages.

Apps for people looking to hookup, which may, but most likely not, turn into dating.

I use the apps to flirt

“The NYT refuses to acknowledge that Grindr is for sex, in its wedding pages.”

No wonder. Their wedding pages are written by gay whores and their fag hags.

My cousin uses grindr solely so he can see how many ,en want to hook up with him. He never acts on it. he just always shows me and his other friends the photos of guys who want to hook up with him.

No gay has 'dated' since 2004.

They're all just a way to meet people. What happens next is up to the people using them. I met my boyfriend on Grindr.
