# DudesChat

> DudesChat is an ad-free social app for gay, bi and curious men ("Dudes who like Dudes"), made in Zurich, Switzerland by Theme Park AG. Every member is a verified, adult human. It is pants-on in public and has no porn anywhere; members choose what they see and who they connect with. It is free to use and paid for by an optional Supporter subscription instead of advertising.
