Consequently, mobile technology has totally changed the way gay men find each other, communicate, and interact romantically.
What sets these apps apart from other dating methods like personals ads or online is that you can see the distance from that person you are via GPS and message like texting. Grindr now has over 7 million users in 192 countries, and that’s just one app. It’s also how he’s constantly “dating” someone new or always seems to be “having someone over.” Admittedly, I just rattled off more gay stereotypes than a season one episode of Will & Grace but there is some foundation to it all. It’s what your GBFF (Gay Best Friend Forever, FYI) is always tapping away at while you’re eating fro-yo or watching Sex & the City together.
“All-male, geo-social networking apps” is essentially a fancy way of saying Grindr, along with the whole slew of apps exactly like it.
