Straight men on Gay dating apps – My perspective

Ever used an Indian gay dating app? Yes? Then, you must have come across many profiles that are operated by straight men. Interestingly, this scenario is very unique to the Indian dating scene as it isn’t a norm in western countries. 

To understand, why many Indian gay dating apps have so many straight men, we need to get into the depth of the matter. Let’s first figure out what motivates straight men to use a gay dating app. 

4 reasons why straight men join gay dating apps

1. Some straight guys are out there to fool a newbie. These ill hearted, scamster straight guys upload their fake pictures and simply ask you to hook up. Being a horny newbie, you share your contact details and address. But when you let them pass all security checks of your society (while trusting their pictures), you find them to be a different guy at the door. They quickly ask you to let them in. You resist hooking up with them and bam! The next thing you know is the guy pushes you and asks you for money before he leaves. In this scenario, you either give them money or they shout at you, attracting your neighbor’s attention.  
2. Believe it or not, many straight guys are so good at acting gay that they will convince you to perfection. They will chat with you forever to ultimately ask you for money. They will fake some emergency. When you call them back, the next thing you know is that they have blocked your number. So, what do you do? The next obvious thing to do is to go to their profile to send them a message. But, by this time, it’s too late to send a message to an already deleted profile.  Isn’t it? 
3. Well, in a country like India where we have populations of over one billion, even straight men are not able to fulfill their fantasies in their sexual relationships. Result? They sign up on a gay dating app to hunt any guy who will be ready to be treated like a human sex toy. When you will meet these guys 1-o-1, they won’t even let you touch them. All they would want to do is getting sucked till they unload ‘it’ in your mouth. 
4. Let’s agree on one thing – Many of us often have a very late sexual awakening. Didn’t get it? Let me explain to you in detail. Many Indian guys remain heterosexual simply because they don’t think they were born any other way around. They end up marrying or being in a relationship, not getting the right pleasure from their sexual partners. If you too are among these guys, you are yet to determine what your sexual preference is. You may be homosexual, pansexual or even asexual. But up until you know who you are, sexually, you can be labeled as a confused straight man. And, trust me; I can tell you from my personal experience, any good looking guy on a gay dating app who only wants to be your friend is nobody but a confused straight man.

What you need – a safer, more transparent gay dating experience  

If you encountered the first two types (or even first three) of straight men in the list, you would want to use a dating app that takes advanced security measures to put an end to out-dated or photo-shopped images. To save yourself from getting cat-fished and blackmailed, you need a variety of privacy features. Blued, a new social dating app for Indian gay and bisexual men has been recently refreshed for better functionality. Unlike other Indian gay dating apps, Blued promises to offer a safer and more private gay dating experience.
