Did u really say there is no demand in the lesbian market?!? Shame! I think u would be v surprised. Not just the living lesbians but many a married heterosexual woman out on the down low would love a quick hookup. You gave the straights deference tho - their app is out. Support the community!!!

I think there is a place for it. We love to do the same things everyone else does but nobody ever talks about it. In this day and age technology is a must! Bring it on! Waiting on the lesbo version.

And <i><b>if<b></i> Simkhai is just helping people feel connected to their community and peers... And <i><b>if<b></i> Simkhai is not caught up on this issue of sex but is "just a technology provider"... Then why shouldn't Grindr work for lesbians? Unless this really is about sex only? It seems to me the real profit margin here is to simply provide the social networking technology but leave usage of that technology to individual needs. Making it all about sex limits the application and profit margin. There's no reason politicians, realtors, co-workers or activists can't use this for completely different purposes. It doesn't always have to be all about fags and sex all the time. Unless you're really desperate to find dick b/c you're closeted and have no way get some dick otherwise. OK. If Simkhai is just a technology provider without preconceived notions of what people should use the tools for…

It is a walking gay bar. He comes across as kind of a joke and is really just in it for the money.
