Taimi LGBTQ+ Dating & Chat App

I love the app but the main gripe I have is that it doesn’t actually respect our age preferences. I’ll put my age preference between 25-30 but I’ll get people that are 40-60+ hitting me up because of their age preferences. Just because I’m within their preferences doesn’t mean they’re within mine, so they shouldn’t even be seeing me to begin with. The preferences need to be a two way street. If I mine set to “interested in ages between 25-30” that should be all I get on my feed. I shouldn’t be getting anyone outside of that range just because I fall within their’s. I’m 28, I don’t want to meet up with some 50year old person or someone old enough to be my parent. The only reason I should show up on their feed is if I include them within my preferences, not because I’m within theirs. If I happened to put “interested in ages between 25-60” while the other has “interested in “25-60” sure, I get it, let me show up on their feed. But when I ONLY want people to be within the certain age range, there’s no reason someone outside of my preferred age range should be seeing me. Also the other gripe I have with the app is that it looks like it got rid of the “looking for hookups” option (maybe it was a one night stand option). Now it’s only “long term” or “short term” relationships. Would def like the other option back because I’m not even looking for anyone to date so short term doesn’t work for me.

So I had the app for a few days now and at first I got so many messages out the gate. Started to notice it was only older and middle aged straight men. Which is not a huge problem however, I’m 26 and queer. Saw a few females around my age that were bi or lesbians, few young guys around my age or younger but I hardly got any queer matches, variety of people, or anyone that was close to my area. A few were but not many. It’s just a bunch of random older straight or “straight” men messages with the same message responses felt very bot even though I know they are quick responses. It just got annoying reading the same messages over and over again. I even changed “opened to everyone” to “women” and I saw women in the swipe section but hardly got any women or queer matches. It’s hard to find someone that has your preference or interests because it doesn’t tell you. The top picks are a waste because you have to pay to see them. You only have 24 hrs to respond and it disappears but I end up clearing all the messages out because no one is my vibe. I’m also not paying to talk to people. You can only skip but so many times so I would leave the app and come back later. Half the people in the app seemed fake anyways so the app became very boring fast and I was really excited to try this one out too. I just felt it lacked variety and doesn’t allow you to find potential matches without having to swipe forever to find them.

So for the most part this is the main dating app I've been using. It's easy to set up a profile and I would say pretty user friendly. I like all the information you can put into it. The biggest issue I'vs found is that it frequently gives me people who I've already swiped away from. I think I've had to "reject" multipe profiles 5+ times because it recycles the people who I've swiped away. The other issue I've encountered is that people who are out of my age range are allowed to like me. I would say at least 50% of my liked are above the age range that I am looking for. I'm 19 and I frequently get people in their 30's or 40's liking me. I also have the same issue with straight men liking me. This is an LGBT dating app I dont even know why there are straight people on here. I am a trans man and I get a lot of people liking and messaging me that have their profile set to straight and they say they are looking for "women and trans men". I wish there was a way to report people for being a chaser and using an app meant to be a safe space for LGBT people as a way to fetishise us. I have matched with a few people on here but there's also a lot of crap I need to swipe through.
