No More Craigslist Personals? Try Guyhop, The Gay Hookup App

CYBERSPACE—Craigslist ditched its personals? Grindr reveals your HIV status? How about trying Social Smarts Networks' Guyhop, the company’s new web-based hookup app for gay men, which has seen incredible user registration growth in the wake of Craigslist Personals’ sudden departure. Guyhop has picked up a slew of new subscribers over the past few weeks, thanks to newly-passed government legislation which led to the shutting down of Craigslist Personals, as well as customer complaints about Grindr’s privacy policy and intrusive ads. “Many gay men established special relationships within the Craigslist and Grindr communities, and Guyhop is looking to fill that gap for those seeking a better alternative: a secure and private place to hook up,” said Social Smarts CEO Rob West. The free location-based hookup service, which bills itself as "a true adult playground for horny gay men, bisexual couples and groups," offers easy-to-use navigation, uncensored content, chat/messaging options, photo privacy guard and filters to seek out favorite personal interests, tastes and positions. "New Guyhop members will appreciate having the freedom of using our web-based service, without the rules and restraints of regular mobile apps,” added West, “and also feel more at ease with our enhanced privacy and security measures in place. We strive to keep our customers happy and welcome any feedback to improve their user experience.” To sign up for free membership, visit Guyhop.com. Premium membership is available with additional features.
