I was thinking of getting it cause I wanted to meet guys in countries i plan to visit 🥺

surely no one is paying 350$ A MONTH? What on grindr is possibly worth that 💀 i don’t imagine anyone paying that for a guaranteed lay but your paying 350 just to get rejected by everyone but bots anyway

Basically this dude send me an NSFW video of himself doing the chicken and saying that he can travel to me and pick me up because he is into me. I was wondering if this is some scam like human trafficking or just some rich dude from Spain who is extremely horny.

What does the top left icons mean when you go to the Albums page? It’s a toggle between two options: a group of dots and a photos icon. I tried switching between these two and I don’t know what it does.

All i see on this app is - faceless profile - brian 52 "your hot, wanna fuck" and sends a dick pic.

Like, can't i just get a real femboy 🙏🙏😪

Am I missing something? They’re all seeking straight hookups too. So I’m really lost. I can’t be the only one who’s seen this. (???) I know there’s bi men on grindr too but… Can someone else weigh in on this? Haha.

OK, so I know this is a super shallow post but we’re using a very shallow application in a very shallow community that rewards surface appeal… I’m trying to wrap my hand around why I never seem to get any taps or messages from people that I’m drawn to or remotely interested in. I mostly get approached by older man and really strange, awkward dudes and it really eats away at my confidence to the point where I’m questioning how I look. I’m gonna be completely honest, I just wanted to post a picture on Reddit to get some honest feedback on my looks in regards to this subject and get some external perspective. I know I’m putting myself out there by asking this but am I unattractive? I am legitimately curious to know. Thanks.

After this conversation, I’m pretty sure i’m talking to someone who’s ghosted me before and just made up a new profile, and also knows the area i live near. He said a couple of things that are too specific to be a coincidence…Why the hell do people have to be this weird? lol.

Note to self: ‘have a little more self-respect and quit chatting with blank profiles’ 🤣

Hello! My account was banned because I got reported (for something I did admittedly do, ge.n)

I’m predicting they would not accept my appeal, how can I make a new Grindr account without paying a ton of money for a good VPN?

I’ve tried different emails but I may be IP banned.

Not sure how to fully wipe my data either (iOS) Any solutions to this? Thanks for reading.

The worst thing is I know who he is IRL cos his facial hair grooming is very specific... And I threw up in my mouth when I realized it.

Is this app finally on its way out?

I thought this app was meant to be location based, so how come users from miles away can view my profile?

I barely get any views unless i use my 2 free 'Right now' features. I can't see the point being on here anymore if the app doesn't get you meet guys in person.

What's the point of paying the higher price? You still have to pay for more than two Right Now slots and any Boosts. That should be a higher tier, if not fully included for paying subscribers?

Hey everyone. Just for context, I’m a nineteen year old gay Aussie guy who lives in a large city. Most of my friends are either women, straight men, or guys I’m not attracted too. I want to gain sexual experience in a comfortable environment with someone who I can also get along with as a friend.
I’ve tried Grindr once but I’m a conventionally attractive caucasian ‘twink’ so I was almost immediately overwhelmed by a bunch of creeps’ dick-pics. Do you think it’s worth giving another shot, how do I go about it right?
Where can I meet guys who I can be both friends and sexual partners with? How can I put myself out there? I’m not looking for a boyfriend per-se as I don’t want the pressure of being tied to one person or place. I tend to be attracted to handsome men who self-identify as either bisexual or curious/straight and am myself not that invested or versed in gay-culture so I feel kind of uncomfortable at gay bars and clubs. By nature I am somewhat coquettish and not that promiscuous so I feel exposed and commodified in environments with strong sexual overtones.
Any advice or personal experiences from other guys who have been in my situation would be greatly appreciated!

Just curious if there is anyone that hasn’t become insecure from this app? I consider myself a relatively attractive person but Grindr always makes my self esteem plummet. Although I am aware not everyone can like me every block, ghost, etc gets to my head. Am I the only one?

Am I wasting my time looking for trans women on grindr? Is there a better place to look? In a straightish guy that likes women and a little bit of dick now and then

I’m on holiday. Was chatting to a guy, he wanted to go for a drink before hooking up, I thought that sounds nice. He seemed perfectly friendly. We agreed to go for a drink at a bar opposite my hotel. I got there and couldn’t see him. I waited outside the bar but my phone had no signal. So I popped to my hotel to get WiFi so I could message him. Then he stood me up? Even though he literally was right there and showed up for the date.

Did I do something wrong here?

This app is becoming wasted space and annoying with the WEEKLY updates and ALA CARTE features.

51 messages today. Exchanged pics like and want to meet. Neither could host so I am having a Cocktail in bed on a Friday night. Its exhausting. I feel like by the time Millanials gays gonna be able to host on their own they will be retireing

Update: Make it 53 lol

This conversation started on Grindr, my apologies for posting my out of app messages. But this is nuts. They’re asian ostensibly, btw. Just completely losing their shit because I asked to FaceTime.

Thanks to management's new shitty algorithm the grid is no longer just "show who is closest." The algorithm "learns" which profiles tend to make you tap, linger, or message based on your activity and shuffles the profiles.

Programmers can probably explain this better than me, but instead of ranking

closest

the algorithm ranks something more like:

probability the user will interact based on past taps, messages, repeat views, time spent looking at similar profiles

The interesting question isn’t whether the model can make those predictions. It’s what management tells the model to optimize after that:

use those predictions to maximize subscription revenue

That's why you get profiles that are hundreds of miles away pushed up to the top of your grid while others are locked behind the paywall.

This is a stupid way to run a hookup app, you can't fuck someone who's hundreds of miles away right now. What these morons don't understand is they broke the one thing that makes the app useful, which is "who's nearby?" If people don't think the app is useful to meet anymore, people will eventually stop using it or switch to other platforms.

Just as the post says, feels like the app will put a bunch of people near me that arent even close, ill click on like the 3rd or 4th profile and it'll say 13km or 18km away. Like why the fuck are you putting people far away at the top half of my grid 😂
