Out actor and comedian Rebel Wilson is launching a new queer dating app called Fluid.
Wilson, who is dating jewelry designer Ramona Agruma said the app is open to queer and even straight people.
I never thought I was 100 % straight. This is the first dating app where you don’t have to actually define yourself or tick a box to say
‘I’m straight, I’m gay, I’m bisexual,’
and you don’t have to describe what you are looking for.
It’s kind of love with no labels.”
Wilson told People,
The algorithm just picks up who you are vibing with and how much time you spend on certain profiles and it’s open enough so that if your sexuality moves into a different direction, it will follow because of what you are preferring on the app. The algorithm works on interests as well.
Something like this would have really helped me and maybe I would have stumbled upon a female’s profile and been like,
‘OK, maybe I do want to message them.’
I totally would have joined up for Fluid because you don’t have to label yourself in any way. You just see who you connect with.
I know that, to me, it doesn’t matter about the gender, it just matters about the person.
The actor even went into details about her own love story with her partner, jewelry designer Ramona Agruma,
I was shocked when I met Ramona, how deep the connection was and how instant it was. Where I thought I was really looking for a husband, dating about 50 guys in one year.
I was always a bit of a girls’ girl and had deep friendships with women, but this was the first time that it was a romantic connection.
Then I was like, well, what if that was part of my personality that I was repressing and not exploring? Maybe I should have 10 years earlier, I don’t know. My journey is what it is.
I still don’t know 100 percent what category I would fit in. I’m just in a great same-sex relationship now, and it’s awesome.”
Fluid will be available in the Apple App Store later this month.
