When it comes to online dating and meeting people on apps, there are plenty of things you need to consider. There’s how you want to present yourself, of course: will your profile picture be serious and posed or candid and casual? Will you pack your profile full of jokes or keep it simple?
But there’s also safety: knowing who you’re talking to and that your data is secure is an important thing to bear in mind. That’s why Taimi, a free gay dating app which also doubles as a social network, makes sure only verified and moderated users can interact. Combined with two-factor authentication, AI-powered account verification and anti-fraud technology, Taimi users can navigate the app without worrying.
More than a dating app
Taimi was launched in 2017 in Las Vegas by a group of enthusiasts who identified a gap in the dating app market: plenty of places facilitated casual encounters rather than long-term relationships and community building. Now Taimi is growing quickly and transforming, creating serious competition for gay apps on the market.
One of the greatest changes was its transformation from a mainstream dating app into a social network. Taimi users can not only look for dates and video-chat, but also create posts, stories, groups and customise their feed based on their preferences. The main aim of such a change, according to the founders of the app, was creating a safe space where guys can be open about themselves and share their thoughts without any fear of being judged.
An app that cares
Taimi's values are diversity, inclusion and non-discrimination. Creating meaningful connections – whether romantic or platonic – is at the heart of Taimi, which aims to establish a positive space where its users can find love, friendship and networking opportunities. Though currently designed for gay men, the platform plans to broaden its offering to the wider LGBT+ community. A far cry from the fast-paced hook-up culture fostered by much of the digital dating landscape, it’s a breath of fresh air for those wanting to feel part of something more substantial.
