SYDNEY MORNING HERALD - Nov 25 - Blendr enables users to check their smartphones and then text other users a few metres away. If they hit it off, they can meet up for a date within minutes. Blendr is the heterosexual version of Grindr, which has more than 2M gay users in 192 countries. Joel Simkhai, who founded Grindr and Blendr, says the main difference between the two apps is that the straight version is less focused on casual sex. Other geosocial networking apps, such as OkCupid Locals and HowAboutWe are popular.

There's this quote in the article... "Joel Simkhai, who founded Grindr and Blendr, says the main difference between the two apps is that the straight version is less focused on casual sex."
It's an interesting way of implying that gay idaters are more focused on casual sex than their hetero counterparts without actually saying so. It probably is the common belief and the idating industry probably would have the evidence to back it up.

Its probably because all men are horny and bigger risk takers when it comes to sex with strangers. I would think single women would be more distrusting of male strangers. Interestingly, I wonder if gay matrimonial sites will become popular now that gay marriage has been legalized in many states.

It's true! People are bounded to their computers and forgets about the real world.
