I wonder if the results hold when you're a man looking for other men? I've heard anecdotes from queer friends that online dating apps give them tons of potential dates and hook-ups. I've personally had more success with women that I've met in person, but when I've looked for men on Tinder I've been much more likely to get a match than with women.

Men with men act like... Men would imagine in it happen with girls, but actually happening. My gay friends at least explain it me this way.

Probably true...I'm gay and have ~2500 matches on Tinder while being pretty discerning (I swipe right maybe 10% of the time). Also agree that if you are just looking for a "hookup" being gay makes it many times easier to do that. Being gay these days pretty great, for many reasons. Almost all of my perceived downsides I felt growing up w.r.t social stigma/discrimination have been mostly eliminated in my day-to-day.

> I wonder if the results hold when you're a man looking for other men? I had a gay roommate who was very active on Grindr. He was reasonably attractive. Essentially, he could meet another man within an hour if he wanted too.

If you are a guy with a less then average looking face and a hot body on Grindr for example you will get tons of messages to filter through. Just post pics of your body with your face somehow concealed. You will then get tons of messages each time you open the app where you can connect with the hottest prospects. It's interesting as once those hot to attractive guys connect and chat with you a human connection is made and hooking up, becoming friends or becoming occasional sex buddies is highly likely. Of course you need to show your face, so just send your best pics of yourself. I would say Im about average looking, but can take some above average looking pics.

On tinder you can find out with a simple change in your settings. Out of curiosity I found out that men are not nearly as picky as women in terms of the initial match. Nobody hounded me on chat though.
