About Buttr Social
A Different Kind of Social Platform
The world doesn't need another dating app—and we're not building one. Buttr Social is creating a suite of services designed to help gay men build authentic relationships and live their best lives, on their own terms.
Our Purpose
Gay men's lives are dynamic. You're single, then dating. You open relationships, close them, take breaks, jump back in. You move cities. Your needs change. Traditional apps force you into a single box, but Buttr meets you wherever you are—whether you're single and ready to mingle, exploring with a partner, taking a break but craving community, or settling into a new city.
How We're Different
We make one promise we'll never break: Buttr will never interrupt conversations between users with ads to push upgrades or subscriptions. Ever. That's the hill we'll die on.
Instead, we partner with vendors and sponsors to create meaningful perks and services that make gay men healthier, happier, and more connected. When we reach scale, we'll introduce a subscription model that keeps our lights on and our team paid—but never at the cost of your conversations.
What We've Created
Buttr is built around genuine connection. Our chat system rewards real engagement: exchange a few messages, and photo and video sharing unlocks naturally. If someone isn't invested, you can hide them and move forward.
This isn't about hoops or games. It's about ensuring that when someone gains access to you, they've demonstrated real interest. Every feature exists to facilitate actual conversations that lead to real-world connections.
We build what gay men actually ask for—not what worked for straight audiences, and never in a vacuum.
