Hm I haven’t but also not my intention to make actual irl friends on this app. Collective feels like a different type of connection, more like early social media where you could just comment on a strangers thoughts without the intentional misinterpretation or bots that have taken over other platforms ✌️

Mostly check profiles in my city. One time I matched with someone on here and then randomly ran into him at the gym. We hung out a few times but he never tried to stay in contact so it didn’t really develop into a real friendship. I don’t think that would have happened on ig.

@jbroadwood I know!! I move a lot and meeting new gays seems harder than it was 10 years ago? Which sometimes feels mystifying

@rottingcolours it’s not so much as to who’s meant to be but whether they are showing up as much as you do, right? I think he was too busy in love with his bf and befriending his friends and getting used to the new city. I don’t need to force a connection. But it was cool nonetheless.

@maxu08 but that was 2 out of 30+ ppl that either matched with me or just followed me but didn’t match at all

@keithloughnane thanks, but it’s alright, I can’t expect be a great match for every single person out there, it’d be unrealistic

well maybe idk it’s kind of confusing to be honest. I got their instas but then a few chats and that’s it. And it’s fine! But I’d be cool to have more regular chats with more people

Yes, a few strong friendships with overseas guys, some regular chats, lots of occasional conversations. The more you comment, discuss and converse the easier it is to make friendships - you just gotta give a little time to it and be yourself.

There’s no one in my area so I’ve not made friends I’ve actually met, but I’m having some good conversations.

Yep. Make the first move, invite someone for dinner, a walk, coffee…

@g.erardo I agree, much nicer having a conversation, to think, to discuss than to stare at torsos, if that’s all they have to offer I’m not so interested!
