Hey GAF!
Like so many people in today's day and age, I'm on a few dating apps. Whether you are looking for a time-waster, friend-maker, fun-finder or love-matcher, there is an app to suit your needs. Apps like these give us opportunities to construct an identity as we see fit. I see sexy profiles, funny profiles, honest profiles and, yes, some sad profiles. My question to you GAF, is what role do video games play in your dating app activities (conversations, profiles, pictures, dates, successes, etc.)?
My personal favorite app for dating is Scruff, geared towards gay men. As you can see below, it actually has a spot for your XBOX and PSN IDs.
Since gaming is a large part of my identity I feature it prominently on my profile, both in what I'm looking for and in my description. I like to put what I'm currently playing and have engaged in some great conversations because of it.
Biggest success story: I reached out to someone who had ”Switch" in their Grindr profile and the next day actually met up with him to attend the Switch and Play preview event. It was entirely platonic, but it was nice not having to go alone. This was an experience made possible because of Grindr.
Some questions to get discussion started:
Do you use dating apps?
Does your app have a designated place for video game ids?
How do you incorporate video games into your profile, if at all?
Have you ever had ”success" (whatever that looks like for you) because of a mention of video games in your dating profile/conversations? What was it?
