Short version: Are there any good apps that are less focused on hookups and more on "dating" as in meeting like-minded guys to hang out with, without an expectation of outright sex?

Long version: I was always of the opinion that trying to find "love" via some dating app is a bit dumb and unlikely, since you really need much more complex personal contact to find out someone is your match than a profile and a short conversation. For years, my idea was to just be open about myself (incl. my sexuality), and guys would somehow appear in my normal social life. This worked back then but my current life situation means that I don't mean people new people "naturally" and for various reasons I can't change it in a short term. I gave up for 5 years, but then I recently managed to meet a few really nice guys on Grindr by making my profile less sex-focused. The problem is that it's very rare and I need to go through lot of trash and dick-pics-in-the-third-message situations (I like dicks, but I'm not looking for anything based purely on dicks). I feel like Grindr is kinda designed to work this way by having too much limitation on the length of your profile, which makes it hard to give a substantial information about you as a person, thus "dumbing down" the profile to some very basic information, making it hard to find a match. And that leads to a certain "audience" using it. So I'm looking for something where people can present themselves more as personalities rather than objects to fuck or get fucked by. My ideal dating model is chatting with a guy for a bit to see if our personalities match, then maybe hang out over a drink or some activity in the city, and see if there's a spark between us before we decide to take things futher. Sex is great and ultimately I'd love to find someone who fucks my brain out, but I'm no longer interested in relationships that are primarily built on sex. I'm what they call sapiosexual, I need an intelectual connection with the guy to enjoy sex.

Context: 30yo European from a mid-sized city, travelling around the continent (so I prefer something that takes your current location into the account, as I'd like to meet guys when I visit new places too).
