“Im looking for a reason to want to ask them a question.
For example, how did this idea first manifest?”
But Lex is different.
Lex is a queer dating/friendship app thats format matches classified ads.
This has given users to post whatever they want without their pictures being attached to it.
Which makes for some wild posts.
I could spend hours scrolling through and crawling into the most intimate parts of brains all over the world.
I decided to find out for myself.
First, I made a profile:
I wasnt kidding when I said Lex has no pictures at all.
I figured those on Lex had experience with other dating apps, so I purposefully made my question vague.
I gathered my 30 responses from the most diverse pool I could have imagined.
So, without further adieu, here are the responses to my post.
Im pretty much open to any pop in of queer as long as theyre a bottom.
Bonus points if theyre femme and extra bonus points if they are trans femme.

MJ, 28, they/them
24.I look for clarity of intention, first and foremost!
My main pet peeve is white people surrounded by black/brown children in a foreign country.
Also, posing with exotic animal is a hard no.
Other than that, a bio with at least a touch of humor is nice!
The profile just has to have something to spark a conversation.
Not that the person has to tell every interest they have.
Just pick one or two topics, or maybe ask a witty question to engage with other people.
Juliana, 29, she/her
