Gay Dating App Smackdown: Coffee Meets Bagel Vs. Grindr

June 25, 2015/in LGBT Dating /by Guest Blogger
(This post was originally published in 2014 and is back by popular demand!)

If you’ve learned anything from Pride this year, aside from what a jock-strap tan line looks like, it’s that you deserve the very best. Whether it’s with your family, at your workplace, or in the bedroom–you should never feel like you need to settle for less. So why are you still using second-rate dating services to find meaningful connections?
It’s time to treat yourself to a new online dating experience, because you’re worth it. And as goddess RuPaul always says, “If you can’t love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?” Wise words Ru, now let this guide help you make the switch!
