WHY CHAPPY THKS IT'S THE BT GAY DATG APP

* gay app 2018 *

In regards to gay men, particular, the app market is riddled wh optns centered on appearance: i. On other better-known gay apps like Scff and Grdr, profil often feature headls photos of ers wh washboard abs or beefy biceps, and prompts ditg the kd of physil attribut they are lookg for, or not lookg for. I accepted the role of head of brand at Chappy bee meant havg an opportuny to provi the gay muny wh somethg I have found so valuable my own life.

We genuely stand alone the digal datg space by providg an clive, kd and rpectful work for gay men to form meangful nnectns. So many gay apps are driven toward a sgular approach to sex datg. We are backed by Bumble, but are unique that we tailor to and market to the gay male dience through our unique msagg, and -app product featur.
