Is Hinge a Gay Dating App

Is Hinge a gay dating app? I get this question from a lot of clients.

Well, the answer is yes and no!

Hinge is not exclusively a gay dating app, but it is an inclusive dating app that caters to a wide range of sexual orientations and preferences. I personally love Hinge as it really seemed to have a solid group of men who were looking for authentic relationships and not just one night stands. 

Let’s not ever forget that Pete Buttigieg met his husband Chasten on Hinge! I suggest Hinge to clients who want a serious relationship as it's popular for people seeking committed relationships.

How does it work?

Hinge uses an algorithm to suggest potential matches based on the information in your profile and your preferences. It aims to connect users with people who are likely to be compatible and share similar interests. Now users can add short videos to their profiles for a more personal touch within the app.

Sure, guys meet their partners on hook up apps like Scruff and Grindr, but Hinge is created specifically for dating not hookups. Through its design and features, the goal of this site is to make meaningful connections and relationships. It uses a "swipe left" and "swipe right" mechanism to match users based on their preferences and interests.

On Hinge, users can choose their sexual orientation from options like "gay," "lesbian," "bisexual," and "queer" when making a profile. This allows a match with potential partners who als share their sexual orientation or interests.

While it is not exclusively for the LGBTQ+ community, it welcomes and supports users of all sexual orientations in their search for meaningful relationships.
