Here, we list some of the top LGBT dating apps to try today and weigh the pros and cons of online dating.<\/a><\/p>\n

Top LGBT Dating Apps to Try in 2021<\/h2>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Gay-flag-621300-scaled.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”100%” align=”center” lightbox=”off” captionsrc=”custom” captionposition=”center” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

1. Thurst<\/h3>\n

While it functions just like other mainstream dating apps, Thurst allows you to see people\u2019s profiles<\/a> one at a time. You can then decide if you like what you see or not. When it comes to your orientation, they are open to many identities within their dating site. With Thurst, the world is your oyster, and this app allows you to get in touch with those who interest you.<\/p>\n

2. Lex<\/h3>\n

Lex is a different playground \u2014 this app doesn\u2019t allow you to post pictures.<\/a> You can, however, connect to Instagram if you want to be showy. Long story short, Lex is like queer Twitter where you can track the latest news locally or in the whole world. You can also use this app for all sorts of relationships \u2014 whether you need something serious, something casual, or just to find friends.<\/p>\n\n

3. Her<\/h3>\n

The Her dating app<\/a> also functions as a social media app<\/a>, where it has a feed that\u2019s similar to Facebook<\/a>, so you can see what everyone else is up to. For instance, it uses an event page where you can check out upcoming queer events around your area, and there\u2019s also a function that allows you to join communities to meet people of similar interests. Furthermore, you can swipe left or right while viewing your potential soulmates, but it also has other features that allow it to stand out from the competition.<\/p>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/pexels-sharon-mccutcheon-3802075-scaled.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”100%” align=”center” lightbox=”off” captionsrc=”custom” captionposition=”center” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n

4. Scruff<\/h3>\n

While Scruff<\/a> works similarly to Grindr<\/a>, it serves you for more than just hookups. It also has a global feature, where you can look up men from distant, exotic places, making it easy to meet people in various cities throughout your travels. Scruff also shows you queer events nearby, where you can connect with others. Keep in mind though, that this app is geared towards men, so it\u2019s not as inclusive as other choices here.<\/p>\n

5. BiCupid<\/h3>\n

BiCupid doesn\u2019t worry about how you identify \u2014 everyone is welcome here, regardless of your ethnicity, gender, or ability, as long as you\u2019re pansexual or bisexual. This app provides a safe space for all who find themselves attracted to multiple genders, and you can even get space where you can share pretty much anything<\/a> about yourself. This makes it easier for anyone to find a life partner who will share your beliefs and interests with you.<\/p>\n
