A4A Radar

Adam4Adam Radar is one of the best social and dating platforms for the gay community. It can sometimes feel like you can't throw a rock without hitting a dating app. Generic dating services like Tinder, OKCupid, and Bumble have all managed to find their position at the top of the ecosystem, but even highly specialized services targeting everyone from Trump voters to farmers to fetishists have managed to carve out a comfortable niche for themselves. And while there's a decent amount of options for the LGBQT community, it always seems to be Grindr that dominates the conversation. Adam4Adam has flown under the radar in comparison, but it's a high-quality platform for connecting members of the community, and it trades in the generally hook-up oriented approach to Grindr in favorr of a broader and more expansive social network. Whether you're looking for someone to spend the night with, seeking out a more committed love, or simply trying to make a new friend, Adam4Adam offers the tools you need.

The target audience of Adam4Adam is mostly gay men, so it's worth noting that individuals who fall elsewhere on the LGBQT spectrum might have a little more trouble connecting with others. But the site has managed to pull in an impressive nine million active users, and the app experience is completely free to use. That's because it manages to sustain its model with advertising revenue, paid erotic videos, and donations. This is a site that's generous with its features. Users can browse other users without limitations, and they automatically break down your options into five grids for your specific location. You aren't locked in to browsing based off your current location either. Changing to a different city is easy, and it's a great way to plan a meet-up elsewhere before you ever board your plane. This is a large community, but a huge variety of different filtering options allow you to narrow down the results to some pretty specific preferences.

In terms of how communications operate, it's not that different from most social media platforms. Users can save profiles as favorites to make it easier to check in on the people who interest you, and the chat system allows users to send unlimited messages and unlimited pictures. A useful blocking option allows you to filter out anyone who might not be to your liking as well. That said, there is a VIP option that offers a few extra perks and bonuses. These include invisible mode, priority support, and the ability to archive conversations. While this might be of benefit for users deeply engaged in the community, the free plan will likely be a fine enough choice for most users.

Pros:

• Offers one of the largest social media communities for gay users available
• Most features included without having to pay a subscription fee
• An impressive amount of filtering options when browsing the community

Cons:

• Focuses almost exclusively on the needs of gay men
• Advertising can sometimes be obtrusive
