EZEtoGRU Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I'm 65 and I consider Grindr a complete waste of time...yet I can't delete it...LOL. From a young person's perspective, I totally get that the vast majority of them have zero interest in anyone over 40/50. I was exactly the same when in my 20's/30's...so I hold no hostility towards them at all. Yes there are exceptions...but they are rare. Back to the main topic. I'm currently in Toronto and I find the incidence in ads on Grindr is substantially higher than when I'm in the US. Every time I go to Grindr, I have to go through games/ads. Its absurd. Still not worth paying for it since it's mostly useless for me. soloyo215, MikeBiDude, BonVivant and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShortCutie7 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I deleted Scruff about a year ago and Grindr a few months ago… replaced them with this site/RM and am way happier (and still hooking up with the same [incredibly low] number of men lol).

Aedo Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 20 hours ago, wanderlust307 said: Start by adding the insta profile of a hottie you know. Then insta will come up with recommendations "people you may know" ie his friends... You add the hot ones and then you get more recommendations... Same for TikTok. Ok, but, guys aren’t on IG to find dates. They’re on IG for street cred, like a visual, vain facebook. People on Grindr and Tinder are there (theoretically) to meet others who share their sexuality. I think I’ve said hi to three guys on IG; I vaguely recall one of them wanting to talk more. But I still wouldn’t want to “use” IG as a dating app. caramelsub 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still wouldn’t want to “use” IG as a dating app. Insta is my main dating/hooking up platform, recently followed by TikTok. Probably because I like vain boys 🤣. I can tell you that it requires more effort than saying hi to start chatting. I understand that other people don't want to put the effort. But for me its where my target audience is.

luccaalpha Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Grindr is perhaps like the discovery of fire for man, it works all over the world and always the same dilemmas and offers, it's a parallel world duke37 and Whippoorwill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now cannot review my blocked list on the mobile app and only on the web version several comms also have been delayed significantly when it seemed people had blocked me or I had done so accidentally (they disappeared) only to return in one batch several hours later (and of course that always goes down well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyDown Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I got tired of a friend complaining about the druggies and various guys looking for $$, with sob stories e.g. needing to pay for text books at USC. Yeah, right. He honestly could not afford that scene. Seemed like once he gave them $$ these guys would tend show up at his door. That's all I know about Grindr. + cougar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I also haven't subscribed to OnlyFans/JFF, even though I want to. I remember housesitting my for boss and the awkwardness of collecting his mail, which frequently had blatant porn-site ads ("Sexual Content Inside!"). I would be mortified if the shoe was on the other foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderlust307 Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I've been using TikTok recently because it is the preferred platform for a couple of interesting guys I met, and technically is the worst piece of software I've ever seen. Full of bugs. It makes Grindr and instagram look flawless. marylander1940 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started using TikTok when the first one said that its the only place he checks his messages... Why get tossed off? We are just chatting. No "escort" word or money discussion. I met the first one the 22yo, next week I'll meet the second one (19yo) when he gets back from his summer vacation, and two 18 yo are work in progress, September pipeline. 😅 Edited August 20 by wanderlust307 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortCutie7 Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I’ve done a significant amount of sexting via Facebook messenger in the past and never had an issue… I think you should be safe on there as long as you don’t bring up any illegal activity. wanderlust307 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
