Growlr Web
Social Networking Software. GROWLr is a gay bear social network for finding beard men around the globe. Additional details about GROWLr.
If you want to know where the Bears are, they’re here. Even the stars of that popular gay web series say they are fans. Coly Cummiskey, a resident of Columbus, Ohio, who describes himself as a “very out” bear, created this ursine app almost three years ago.
It’s clear from the profiles on this app that guys who define themselves as Bears come in many varieties, but generally they are hairy and, when shirtless, more likely to show a beer belly than a six-pack. Bears are not the most popular crowd in West Hollywood (see the count on Grindr above). In fact, only 148 showed up within a 4.6 mile range of our researcher’s West Hollywood apartment on a recent morning. That may also reflect the fact that, unlike Grindr and Scruff, GROWLr only shows guys who are actually on the app when you search, and our researcher is up and working earlier than most lazy Bears.
Download GROWLr for PC (Windows 10/8/7 and MAC) If you are wondering, GROWLr is one of the most popular social networks for the gay community. This app offers gay men the opportunity to meet other members with the same interest. Bears, the members of the app, can be anyone at any age and any situations. The aim here is to accept the true person. Grindr is the world’s largest social networking app for gay, bi, trans, and queer people. Download Grindr today to discover, connect to, and explore the queer world around you.
Grindr Web is the hook-up app’s newly-launched website, designed for users who want to chat “quickly and discreetly” while at the office (what a concept!). Growlr (launched in late 2010) is an online dating social network for gay men; specifically, “bears”. A bear is a term for homosexual men who embody robust and traditionally-coded masculinity. Growlr has been around for almost seven years with its focus on hookups and socializing. Unsurprisingly, the app has fewer users than Grindr since.
GROWLr lets you send any messages, include 19 pre-programmed ones, some of which are likely counter-productive. Think about it! If someone responds to a GROWLr stock message like “if you were a booger I’d pick you first” or “my love for you is like diarrhea, I just can’t hold it in,” he probably is institutionalized and unavailable for coffee. And if you were to send such a message, perhaps you should check your health insurance policy for psychotherapy coverage. Luckily the app also offers more standard words and phrases like “Woof!,” “Grr,” “Thanks bud” and “You’re hot!”
GROWLr, like Scruff, offers a search-by-location option so the cubs in West Hollywood can see what the bears are up to in Silver Lake or even Boise, Idaho, for that matter. It also offers the longest list of profile search criteria. In addition to looking for someone by height and weight, you can search for someone who identifies himself as HIV positive. The relationship search options include “widowed” and “triad.” The “types” search includes 15 options, one of which is Trucker and another of which is Sugar Daddy, for those cubs looking to pay off a college loan.
GROWLr allows you to post two “private” photos that you can unlock for selected viewers. Its $3.99-a-month premium subscription gives you more options, including access to a number of “galleries” that include photos of the most popular guys on the site, the newest guys on the site, those you’ve unlocked your photo gallery for and those it has deemed, in some mysterious way, to be your matches. It also gives you the option, with one click, to lock all previously unlocked private photos in the event that you’ve decided to run for public office.

Finally, GROWLr offers two other unique services. One is the ability to blog. You can look at a guy’s blog posts by clicking on Blog in his profile. The other is a chance to sell your “services” or promote an event with a shout-out to everyone within a five-mile radius for $4.99.
