Grindr
In 2009, geosocial app Grindr revolutionized the way gay men meet by starting a trend in location-based dating. Profile lists refresh based on current user location, with the closest at the top. Members can chat with and favorite members. Profile editing is also quick and simple.

Planet Romeo
PlanetRomeo shares many of the features of the other gay geosocial apps, with unlimited messaging and visitor views, but come at a cost. $4.99 to be exact. Users can register and use their full online site and mobile browser for free.
Scruff
Replace the Boy Next Door with the guy on the rugby field or the man not afraid to get dirty and you have Scruff. Scruff adds additional functionality by allowing daters to "woof" other members they're interested in.
