Bears Looking: The New Gay Dating App for Bears and those who love them!

8th October 2024 BWM Staff

Bears Looking, a new app tailored for the LGBTQ+ community, has officially launched, offering a dynamic and inclusive space for users to connect, chat, date, and explore relationships. Designed specifically with bears, cubs, chubs, gainers and their admirers in mind, this is more than just another dating app— it’s queer owned and operated and it’s a platform that fosters meaningful connections while celebrating the diversity and unique experiences within the LGBTQ+ community.

A Safe and Welcoming Space for LGBTQ+ Connections
Bears Looking is designed for anyone seeking casual conversations, romantic encounters, or meaningful friendships within the LGBTQ+ space. With a focus on inclusivity, the app offers users various tools to connect with like-minded individuals based on their interests, location, and preferences.

Key features of Bears Looking include:

Chat & Messaging: Seamlessly connect with users through private chats, and real-time messaging features.
Dating & Hookups: Whether you’re seeking a long-term relationship or a quick and casual encounter, the app makes it easy to find matches based on your preferences. Search for specific tribes or filter by who’s hosting.
Community & Events: Stay updated on LGBTQ+ events and social gatherings in your area, and connect with people who share your interests.
Inclusive Profiles: Users can create detailed profiles that reflect their true selves, with options to showcase preferences, identity, and personal interests and social links.

Creating a More Inclusive Dating Experience
“Bears Looking is about creating a safe space that not only facilitates connections but celebrates the unique identities and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community,” said AJ Stone, founder and CEO of Bears Looking. “As an avid app user and someone who works in both UI/UX and app development, I know what works, what doesn’t, and what I want out of an app experience. I wanted to create an environment for the big boys that rivals some of the larger, conglomerate-owned apps that don’t listen to the feedback of the users they serve. There aren’t as many good apps out there for bears, chubs, gainers, chasers, feeders, and other niche LGTBQ+ community members.”
