You are about to enter an amazing world and begin a journey that could change your life. And we are not talking about an expensive trip to some exotic place on the planet. We are talking about Taimi, the largest online dating app exclusively for the LGBTQIA+ community.
With over 29 million members around the globe (and growing daily), Taimi is a place for you to discover who you are and who you choose to love. And all of this happens within a safe, secure, and social environment of an accepting and embracing community of support and good will. Truly, you will never find a better place for dating than Taimi.
So, buckle up and let’s get you started.
A Pre-Registration Must-Do
Before you start this journey, you must access the Taimi website (Taimi.com) so you can read about its mission and its purpose – to explore, connect, and thrive, all on your own terms, no matter how you identify now and how you may do that as you take the journey to self-discovery. Everyone on the LGBTQIA+ spectrum and those who are simply exploring are equally important and embraced.
You’ll read stories of surprises – those who came to Taimi with certain relationship goals and ended up with others; those who began dating one specific “type” and discovered that they really wanted another; those who wanted friendships and found love instead. And they had fun in the process.
You’ll read stories of success – couples who have found one another and started their life-long journey together.
The point is this: When you join Taimi, the possibilities are limitless, for each and every member, and that means for you. The vibe at Taimi is just more than you could expect.
You cannot register for Taimi on the website. But on every page, there will be two buttons to download the Taimi app from other app store, depending on where you have an iPhone or an Android. Once you have downloaded the app, you’re ready to roll.
How to Use Taimi Gay App
First a bit of explanation. When we refer to Taimi as a gay app, we are using the term gay in the more general context. Yes, gay men are members of Taimi dating app, quite a few actually, but gay men are only one piece of the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, and this dating app serves the entire spectrum. Now, back to business.
Once the app is downloaded, you will need to register and set up an account. That account will have a username and a password which will be securely stored. This whole process is easy – you’ll provide some personal information and given the option to verify your identity. You’ll want to do this – it puts a green check by your profile, and other users who might be afraid of fake profiles will trust you more.
Registration is free of course, as it is with most other dating apps too. The difference between the Taimi dating app and the others goes far deeper.
Now let’s dig into the nuts and bolts of all that the Taimi dating app offers as you learn how to use it.
Time to Create Your Profile
Your profile should give just enough personal information to get others interested in you. Fortunately, Taimi helps you with this by asking questions that you should answer in as you create that profile. Taimi knows what will pique the interest of others – trust them. If you are not good with words, you might want to get help from a friend who is and who can help you polish it.
The rest of your profile should contain your current gender identity and sexual orientation, your preferences for matches, including an age range if that’s important to you, and the type of relationship you are looking for (you can change these at any time).
The final step will be the photos. A professional head shot is fine for a LinkedIn account. But for dating apps, they are boring. Your photos should be action shots of you engaged in your hobbies and passions, maybe even at work. Pictures need to capture the interests of other viewers.
Important Note: Whatever you do, do not exaggerate who you are on any dating site. The truth will always come out if you make a connection, start dating, and end up in any kind of long-term relationship. Just be honest from the start, and you will make authentic connections that will last.
Now What?
Well, Taimi enters all your data into its matching system. This is actually a system crafted and continually refined by Taimi’s own developers. And as you continue to use this dating app, your outgoing likes and rejections are noted, as well as what you may talk about in the social groups (more about that later), and other public behavior. All of that data is continually fed into the system so that prospects continually get better. Developers continue to monitor this legacy algorithm and make improvements. Again, the more you log in to this dating app, the more data is fed in and the better your matches will be.
The best advice here is to log into your account often.
You’ll be presented with potential prospects and have the option to like or reject. When someone you “like” also “likes” you, a match is made, and you can start conversations. These can be by messages, chats, phone calls, even video calls as you get to know one another and decide if there is enough compatibility for a potential future together.
Let’s Talk Features of This Online Dating App
General Features for Everyone
Whether you use the free version or decide to purchase a premium subscription, these are the benefits to all:
- Multiple methods for communication, many of which other dating apps charge for
- Icebreaker chat starters for those who have a tough time starting a conversation with a someone they just met.
- Participation in a bunch of fun games, contests, and other events that occur throughout the year. Through the fun, members may meet other members they haven’t known before, and who knows where that might lead?
- Joining any number of social groups on the app. These are formed by members with common interests, issues, and challenges, and together they make up a social media platform right within the app. Members are free to create their own groups and invite others to join – another great way to meet people. This feature is part of the overall focus on members being part of a close community where respect, acceptance, diversity, and fluidity are celebrated. These are like social clubs for sharing.
- Taimi has a great blog with articles full of tips and advice. Members can search the blog for articles that pertain to their gender and sexuality – lesbian, bisexual, gay guys, trans, non-binary, exploring, or any other specific orientation on the entire LGBTQIA+ spectrum. There’s something for everyone.
- And when you are ready to meetup with someone, Taimi can recommend specific date ideas based on your location and mutual “likes” and “icks.”
- It’s important to take into account that most dating apps out there exist solely as a matching service. They present prospects to their users and then consider their work done. Taimi sees each of its members as a three-dimensional person and delivers that sense of belonging to a community that everyone wants.
- Those with a basic version can purchase premium features for periods of time on an a la carte basis. For example, a user might purchase a private confidential communication with another willing member and share those photos and videos
Bottom line here? Get social and have fun while you are waiting for the relationship you want.
Premium Subscriptions
There are three levels of premium subscriptions – bronze, silver, and gold, each with progressively more options, benefits and filtering. The Taimi app will explain all of these in detail, so you can make the best selection for yourself. Your account log in doesn’t change, just the features you can now access. Here’s a brief rundown of some of those additional features Taimi users will enjoy.
- You can use “cards” to set up private and confidential communications with a mutual (with their permission of course). These can include photos and videos that no one else will ever see. They are absolutely confidential and securely protected. (See “diamond dates”).
- You can provide specifics of your location preferences – not just the city but a radius of miles too
- You can go “undercover,” called incognito mode, and keep your identity hidden until you are ready to reveal who you are.
- You can block certain members from your profile – these might be former exes or previous mutuals you have decided are not for you.
- You can use cards to send gifts as a love message to other users
- You will have free admission to the dating app events that may require a charge for free users.
- More specific age filtering
Again, you should explore the details of each subscription plan and choose the one that best meets your needs. The costs are reasonable, your log in and account doesn’t change, and you can choose not to renew a subscription when it expires. It’s really a win-win for those who want more online dating options.
Other Important Aspects of the Taimi Dating App
There are some other things that set Taimi apart from the most every dating site or app. While some of them are behind the scenes and the work of developers, they have an impact on user experiences.
Taimi Doesn’t Sit on Its Laurels
So, Taimi is the largest exclusively LGBTQIA+ dating service on the planet, but it also knows that member needs and demands also evolve over time. And its developers realize that too. While other dating sites and apps contract with outside data analysis companies and developers to improve their sites and apps.
Taimi has a different approach. It openly solicits suggestions and recommendations from its actual users and passes those on to its in-house developers. They listen and make changes and improvements based on member feedback. Every developer for Taimi is an in-house person, not a contracted developer.
Taimi Wants You to Continue to Explore
Gender and sexuality do not have a time or age limit. Some journeys are lifelong. Your account with Taimi lasts as long as you want or need, and your profile and preferences may be changed over and over again. You may come to Taimi as a lesbian only to discover that you are a bisexual. And that may change again as you continue to explore. It’s known as fluidity, and it is embraced and celebrated. This gives everyone a sense of belonging and hope for their futures.
What’s Not to Love About Taimi?
Everyone has hopes of one day being a part of a community in which they feel safe, comfortable, accepted and validated just as they are. At Taimi, your community is digital, but it gives you all of these things and more:
- You have a secure password-protected account to which you can log in from anywhere at any time and find others socializing in groups or see new prospects who have “liked” you.
- You can log into your account, access your profile, and change its content at any time. And with a premium subscription, you can narrow your location, even changing that location if you travel or physically move.
- A developer is on hand at all times, so that if you hit a glitch, you have the customer support and help to fix it.
- Developers listen to members and make changes and improvements to make everyone’s experience better.
- You have a fully safe space to meet others for whatever type of relationship you want now, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year – no judgment; no criticism; just acceptance and celebration
- You have multiple methods of communicating with mutuals, including video calls at no cost.
No need to wait. Download that Taimi app, set up your account, create your amazing profile, and start logging in often. You’re on your way to an astounding journey.
