A ltle ntext, I wanted to try bumble bff and wh mut I had like 40+ lik so I start swipg right to see who liked and vet through the match, but they were all mostly gay guys. I [30M] jt started g Bumble BFF NYC, and I'm seeg that many of the other men on here seem to be gay, and I'm jt cur why that may be.
I'm also wonrg if maybe Bumble BFF is jt a place where gay men feel safe and fortable to meet other gay iends whout the sexual backdrop you fd on other apps. Though the “women msage first” feature don’t apply to gay or lbian matchg, the rt of the app and s featur are still que eful for members of the LGBTQ muny.
