Grindr is a cesspool, but I have made some quality matches. Some just-friends connections and yes hookups. Grindr is basically designed for that.

But if you have a stand out profile that shows you as an active person with real interests (not just a fit torso, good god people, branch out!), other substantive people will be open to talking real connections.

And hookups can be sad, gross affairs for sure. But not every short-term relationship has to be meaningless. It’s okay to agree to just play and enjoy the experience as a future treasured memory.

For that more human kind of connection, however, Feeld is more likely to yield that in my experience.

Oh yeah, no hate to hookups and short term relationships at all, just not really my cup of tea. I'm not even completely against it for myself but that's something I would rather have happen organically than seek it out if that makes sense. I'm all about emotional connection before physical haha

Then definitely check out Feeld. The whole place is about the feels before the frolic. Good luck!
