The Guysexual’s Brutally Honest Review Of Bumble
Contrary to what we will tell you, gay men are obsessed with the idea of finding a sense of normalcy. This implies that gay men are obsessed with the idea of finding companionship. But what does that mean?
We are obsessed with dating apps. We live them. We breathe them. We devour them. We can’t contain enough of them. If you’ve been an avid reader of this column, you’ve probably read all ten of the brutally honest dating app reviews I covered last year. But it’s , and I’ve got more ground to cover.
Without further ado, make a beeline for a fresh new commencement to last year’s verb series, and come verb hi to Bumble.
What it is: Bumble may have started in as a secure space for women to ‘date, meet and network better’ by sending the first message (and making the first move), but when have gay men ever let a fine thing go to waste?
We came for your fashion. We came for your sleepovers. And now, we come for your dating apps. ‘Why do the gays need to infringe on our space?’ the vilest of bigots would ask, ‘Won’t they verb about the childr

When I finally embraced my bisexuality five long years after kissing my first man, I was elated, convinced that the world would now be my oyster. I thought being bisexual would double my chances of a date on any given Friday night. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
Women didn’t want to date me, fearing that I was using the bi label as a stepping stone to being “full-blown” gay. Whether or not they’d openly disclose it, many feared I’d inevitably leave them for a man. The gay men I dated didn’t hold this fallacious conviction. Rather, they were unbelievably condescending. They’d say things like, “Oh, honey! I was bi too. You’ll get there.” When I reaffirmed my bisexuality, letting them know that this isn’t a pitstop, but a final destination, they’d respond, “I know you think that. I did too.”
So I stopped telling people I was bisexual, at least on the first date. It wasn’t that I was ashamed of being attracted to all genders or attempting to hide my bisexuality. I hoped that if they got to understand and trust me, they would believe I was bisexual. I also figured i

How Tinder is different when you’re gay
One defining feature of the modern gay experience is using dating apps. While there are some explicitly gay dating apps (although Grindr can only loosely be called a “dating” app), we also use Tinder and other Straight™ things.
A lot of young people own a complicated relationship with Tinder, not just members of the LGBTQ community. It makes it a lot easier to insert yourself out there and meet new people, but it takes away the meet-cute charm of bumping into the love of your life at Starbucks. Dare we say that Tinder is even more complicated for gay people? We dare.
Straight people are always surrounded by other straight people, which means they have a lot of romantic options. There aren’t that many gay people in the world, and we are used to running out of options pretty quickly.
For some, using Tinder is a nice way to encounter more gay people without the stress of wondering whether they’re looking for the same thing. For others (like me — Jacob), Tinder takes away some of the charm of meeting people organically.
