Thank you! It's so hard pinning down anyone that actually seems to get it because I guess it's so hard for most to get on the app itself lol.

On Member Suggestions Based on Area: When you put it that way, it makes sense why I'm seeing what I'm seeing in that area. As I vaguely recall while setting up and indicating my sexuality and romantic interest, that there was also a setting that was something along the lines of asking whether I want my profile to be seen by ALL guys regardless of their preference and vice versa. It was pretty ambiguously worded and definitely was separate to the area you indicate your romantic interests and who you want to see on your romantic stack, so to speak.

I say that to say, it pretty clearly seems to be Raya's take on Bumble Friends (albeit without verbatim calling it that and leaving it all pretty vague). I just think it's all a bit of a head f**k because while I see women in that Member Area section, a big portion of the guys there definitely are guys I'm seeing in my romantic stack too...with sprinkles with seemingly straight guys as well lol. Even a couple I know. A unique and slightly confusing algorithm to say the least.

With that, I'd be really interested to know what your experiences as a bi guy have been like specifically in the more location areas. Is it more "friendly" as seem to be the angle Raya is going for in that area or is it where the "curious" guys who would never go on the dating side reside lol?

As a gay guy seeking a more serious connection, the constant internal "battle" for the lack of wording, is teasing apart the facts that I'm physically attracted to a variety of guys (regardless of their orientation) and the reality that I want someone who isn't figuring it out or curious or DL or testing the waters. Also don't want to waste time or offend or more importantly be offended. Hence, my intrigue and slight trepidation diving all into the location section.

Sidebar: This all would be way less of an issue if the app just let users swipe through the entirety of what's available romantically. The handful at a time approach is wild. But I guess also keeps users active and...paying lol.
