The reactions, the recalls and the romance.
Valentine's Day was this week and if you spent the evening alone, watching Bob's Burgers while eating Popeyes with no pants on, then you're not actually alone. Hopefully these guys had a better day.
Monday, we released this year's list of 100 Most Eligible Bachelors, featuring a diverse list of models, musicians, actors, professionals and influencers who we just want to star on Grindr and plan our happily ever after with. The votes poured in for your favorite dateable gentlemen.

While it's not anywhere near a 3 million vote lead, there is a clear winner thus far. Adam Lambert is currently in the lead with more than 16,000 votes thanks to his noteably passionate fans. He's followed by Jacob Bixenman with around 7,800. Miles Gray, Mitch Grassi, and Nik Thakkar came in neck-and-neck for the rest of the top five, with all around 1,500 votes.
Since we launched, it was brought up to us that a few on our list are already off the market. John Benjamin Hickey and Brian Anderson are both happily taken. And although it's not confirmed, Troye Sivan and Jacob Bixenman are rumored to be a couple, having made public appearances together and both starring in Sivan's "Heaven" video.

Colton Haynes also announced his relationship on Valentine's Day, just after we released the list. Coincidence? You decide.

Although there are many charming candidates we don't get to include, they've definitely made it known that they're available.
Some had some harsh words even though they were on the list.
