With the initial aim to make visible spatialities and subjects who seek same­sex partners in the Tinder Application in the city of Rio Grande (RS). Thus, it proposes, in some initial notes, a reflection on cyberspace as a potent field of investigation by the Human Sciences, especially by Geography.
