Queer dating in Chennai feels like a lottery ticket you never win!

I have moved back to Chennai, after spending several years in Hyderabad and Bangalore. Honestly, this city still feels miserable in terms of queer dating scenes. Here's what I noticed across several popular apps like Tinder, Hinge, and Grindr, in spite of opting their premium memberships.

  1. When you are someone who is strong on specific political ideologies, the dating pool moves from being low to terribly low. I mean, as a queer person, I could never date a fascist or someone who is a conservative right-winger. If you are someone who votes for hate, and supports oppression of others, I could never associate with you on a personal level. It is already sickening to deal with such people in professional spaces.
  2. Mos of these dating/hkup apps are filled with married men and incels, honestly, it feels exhausting after a point. Out of every 3 profiles, 1 ends up being a commercial (fancy term for the P-word), and the other two are discreet/DL married men, straight incels in search of married women/cucks/trans/fem gays and any living-breathing creature that is closer to a woman. It just feels so repulsive coming across these profiles. Even after using several filters, you do end up engaging with these people somehow.
  3. Most of these bisexual men are legit. But several of them are either married or closeted gays. Unless your spouse/partner is fully aware and has consented to an open marriage/open relationship arrangement, your actions amount to nothing but adultery and cheating. I do get your constraints and reasons, but honestly, expecting everyone to be okay with your morally reprehensible choices is a bit too much.
  4. Most people have standard questions, after a point you feel like you are taking a survey or chatting with a chatbot. Everything feels mechanical in the talking stage. Is there a dearth of intellectually intriguing people or conversationalists in this city? Mind you that taking stage actually happens after the filter based on looks and descriptions. There are extremely low chances that you would even find someone sensible to grab a coffee or go on a date with, after all these steps.

Just wanted to share my thoughts out here. Does anyone else feel the same way?

I'm more interested in genuine chemistry than scripted pickup lines. If you're open minded, enjoy flirting, and like getting to know someone without rushing anything, maybe we should talk.

Pokémon Go in Chennai?

I recently started playing again and it’s been super fun. If there is a community around Adyar/Alwarpet, I’d love to be a part of that.

29M, divorced, living alone in Chennai. I just want someone to talk to.

I’m a 29-year-old divorced man, living alone in Chennai.

For more than one year, I went through a really hard phase. Only now I’m starting to feel a little better.

There were times when I genuinely felt like I didn’t deserve this life. But somehow, I’m slowly coming out of that phase.

I just want someone to talk to. I don’t even know exactly what I’m looking for.

I can’t really talk to my family, friends, or relatives about these things because whenever I talk to them, they start feeling bad or worried. And sometimes I just feel like telling them, **“*tha, naaney ippo better aagi adhulendhu veliya vandhuten. Innum yen da adhaiye pesi ennaiya noga adikiringa?”

I really need to talk to new people.

It doesn’t have to be anything serious. We don’t even have to share personal stories. We can just talk about random things, movies, series, life, stupid stuff, anything.

My personal story is like Game of Thrones  romba perusu. Thotta kashtam dhaan. 😅

I’ve already seen enough Stranger Things in my life. Inime aachum The Last of Us maari illaama, wonderfools  mathir irundha nalla irukkum.

That’s it. I just want to meet and talk to some new people. Maybe make some friends along the way.
