Vicinity LGBTQ+ Friend Finder 2.8.0

Vicinity caters specifically to LGBTQ+ individuals, couples, and groups seeking genuine friendships rather than casual dating or hookups. The platform's primary goal is to establish a safe environment that actively discourages hookup culture, fostering a focus on meaningful connections among like-minded people.

With interests spanning gaming, coffee, fitness, travel, and the arts, Vicinity offers a unique opportunity to connect with others who share your passions in a supportive community.

Find Friends Locally

"I was surprised to find that I was literally surrounded by people like me—for coffee, dinners, and more."

In contrast to many dating apps, Vicinity eschews the need for swiping or matching. Users can navigate a live map to discover potential friends in their vicinity, filtering by interests, hobbies, gender identity, and more to facilitate authentic connections.

• Create Your Profile: Develop a secure profile that highlights your interests, hobbies, and activities.
• Dynamic User Map: Identify potential friends nearby as they appear on a live map. Personalize your experience using filters tailored to your personality and interests.
• Private & Secure Messaging: Engage with the local LGBTQ+ community while maintaining privacy—no need to share identifying information like names or phone numbers.
• Curated Event Calendar: Access a selection of community events curated by our team to enhance your engagement with the local LGBTQ+ scene.
• Vicinity Feed: Explore posts and events from users within a 50-mile radius, allowing you to comment, RSVP, and actively participate in your local community.
• Notifications Center: Stay informed with real-time notifications for likes, comments, RSVPs, and replies related to your posts and events.
• Privacy Matters: Manage your visibility by randomizing your location on the map by up to 10 miles.

Vicinity originated in St. Louis and is expanding its reach for those seeking authentic connections within the LGBTQ+ community.
