1. Zoosk
Zoosk isn’t necessarily a dating app specifically for the gays. While Zoosk is a great app for everyone to use, it’s also a great app for the gay community to find love too. According to their website they make dating a fun process, because it should be a fun process! Forget the games and the struggles that come with dating! They designed their app with every user in mind. So it’s easy to set up a profile and start making and connecting with matches. Zoosk even offers dating support for members who might need it. Other apps might have this but this is the first time I’ve seen an app mention this on their website, so it must be a good service to utilize. They also offer different filters that you can put on your profile so you can find the person who matches exactly what you’re looking for. Zoosk prioritizes dating safety as well. And with millions of singles using the app to find love across the world, it’s safe to say that Zoosk is a great option for your dating journey. You can go to their website to sign up or download the app on your phone to get started. You got this!

Scruff apparently once had a reputation as a hookup app but according to CEO Eric Silverberg that’s not the case at all. He says many users have found their partners by using the app. One feature that Scruff uses is only showing users looking for dates other users who are looking to date or find a relationship. Their website says they have more than 20 million members and the best part is there are no spam bots that you have to worry about.

Hornet’s CEO says that their mission is to create a digital space where queer men can feel they belong and also where they can possibly find Mr. Right.
