One was in person the other on video chat. Hooked up with the first guy in his car made him cum in less than 5 minutes he said let's do this again just to block me by the time I got home. Then I get on video chat with this other dude show him my ass he cums IMMEDIATELY hangs up and blocks me. Also I offered to hook up with him in person, like you are 6'6 and built like a Greek god what do you need to masturbate for? You can get all the ass you want IRL like wtf. I'm just fucking done gay men are fucking degenerates. Just wanna bust and dump. Yall aint shit.
Does anyone know how to confirm ?? My money for debited but it won't let me use xtra
As of today I can't block people I'm not interest in on the app? It only gives me the option to 'hide' them?
But why in settings does it show: Unblock Users Unhide users
Is there a difference and what is it? how do I block someone still so we cant see each other?
Why does grindr continually make itself less user friendly and what are the alternatives damn???
What's the point of even having this section when it refuses to save the selections?
Like for well over a year if you select, and save, your Gender/Pronouns it retains the information for (maybe) the current session but when you open the app again. It's all blanked out again.
I've emailed support about it before, even including videos but aside from a brief 'we're looking into it' they've never fixed it. Yet they continue to make all these other anti-QoL changes to the app, by paywalling everything and hiding useful things behind under different tabs and junk.
Like, what gives. Does the Grindr team literally have NO idea how to do anything? Anyways, defo my last time subscribing.
...//end rant.
I mainly use grindr from my laptop as I don't like to be on my phone and chats on grindr web completely stopped working about a week ago. I keep getting an "Inbox failed to load." error
I haven't been able to text anyone. I'm paying money for this which makes it even crazier, there seems to be no customer support at all.
Anyone know any workarounds/fixes?
Hello all, I just had the worst first experience on this app and just decided to rant. I downloaded this app a few days ago with the intentions of having a hookup, and honestly I was pretty shocked to see how many people were dming me. Well, after being ghosted about two times, I had finally met someone who was down to meet.
This is where I fucked up, because just based on their picture and the pictures on their instagram, I had assumed that they were pretty cute/hot. My god I could never be so wrong.
I take an uber, have a great convo with the uber driver, dude was a pretty cool guy, talked about dieting and working out and stuff. Made it to their apartment and was waiting outside for a couple of minutes, it was very, very cold. Finally, they open the door, and when I tell you a piece of my soul died I’m not exaggerating. They looked nothing like they did in their photos. I immediately knew that they most definitely used old photos. They were definitely bigger, and tbh, they were not as attractive as they were in the photos. I was surprised this was the same person tbh.
Well, I didn’t want to be rude and felt that maybe I could just muster through with it. When I entered their apartment, I was immediately hit with the smell of just straight mist and cat litter(like that sour smell, like they didn’t even clean the litter box). Their room was pretty dirty, cigar guts just on their desk top, garbage, etc. The bed surprisingly wasn’t dirty. So, we smoked a blunt at first and midway through they wanted me to lay closer. So now, here I am laying down next to them, and kinda picked up an off smell on them. We talk for a bit and they also came off pretty weird just based on some of the things they said. After a bit I told them I was good on the blunt and just told them they could have it if they wanted too. So, we lay there a bit more(side by side, I did not want to touch them!) and talk a bit more. I suggest to put on a movie and they do. During this entire time I kept thinking in my head what should I do, and while they put the movie on came straight to here and searched up similar situations. I saw that some people had no problem walking away and others went through with it. Well, they ask what I’m doing and I just tell them I’m chilling, then, they ask to cuddle 😔. We cuddles for a couple second. They put their leg on me and at that point I just couldn’t do it anymore, I couldn’t be one of those people that went through with it, I don’t think I would’ve even been able to anyway lmao. I just told them I wasn’t feeling well and had to go. Then they wanna ask me if I’m sure and I’m like “Yes! I just gotta go”, and immediately left out.
Honestly after the fact, it was pretty funny but I was also a bit upset because I basically wasted money, weed, and got no ass 😔. And felt I should’ve just left as soon as I seen they looked nothing like the photo, but oh well, another lesson learned for sure 😂.
The google definition is pretty vague and I'm not sure what it refers to. Thanks.
Does anyone know if the ‘last tested date’ status in the HIV testing section of the profile can be inadvertently changed by Grindr or does this specific status require the individual user to change within their own profile? My husband claims that he hasn’t been on the app in months but when I asked him to show me his profile his last tested status read November 2024. He claimed that he didn’t change it because he hadn’t been on. Is this possible that it changed somehow else or is he just bold face lying to me?
So I took a break from the app for a few months and I deleted my previous account. I’m trying to create a new one and I’m getting this “unable to create account” error.
I even tried on my iPad and on an old phone and I keep getting the same message on those devices as well.
The app and the OS is up to date.
Does anyone know how to solve the issue?
Hi, sorry for my English. For personal reasons I can only use GrindrWeb, I've been an Xtra subscriber for 2 years. For a week now I can't see my messages/chats. It just keeps loading and the error appears: "Error loading inbox".
I sent an email on Monday and I still haven't received a reply.
I use Grindr Web on Google Chrome, I tried it on Opera and Firefox and the error still occurs.
On my android phone it works, but as I said, I can't use it on my phone for personal reasons.
Please help me
I always get the odd guys 😂😂
So this is ridiculous. My profile and all messages were legit. What's happening is I choose not to hookup with sketchy people because of obvious red flags. Well about a month ago my account goes into being suspended. Emailed them and everything. Have yet to hear back from them. They say there's a high volume of requests and responses are delayed. Like a month? Really? What's wild is the bots, actually abusive people, and so many horrible people go problem free. Am I missing something?
What aspect ratio works best for profile pictures?
These three posts referenced it:
• r/grindr/s/uZoXJkd7cC (CC: u/debtany5219)
• r/grindr/s/SEiLhRJW0B (CC: u/letmeequal1337)
• r/grindr/s/3kb95DPTrj (CC: u/objective_pay4702)
So I'm wondering if it's valuable at all.
If Grindr would simply track the type(s) of guys each user responds to and taps they would quickly be able to customize results so that I see profiles of guys I actually want to talk to. Thoughts?
I’ll be traveling for work and considering “roaming” before hand to quasi-explore the area. I just went to see what it was like and realized it seems kind of spendy. $6 for 1hr?
For anyone who’s used it, has it been successful for you? Why or why not? Any pro tips?
I have Xtra. jusat started happening. anyone else?
And just to be safe, also wipe it down before using it
This guy has tapped me several times over the past week. I am not interested and because of this new hide feature, I couldn't actually block him. He finally messages me, and says "looking?" I say, no I am not interested, please stop. He responds, "then just block me" as if it's my fault he's been reaching out incessantly.
Besides the fact that the app won't let me block, why do people assume no answer gives them permission to harass until they get an answer??? That's fucked up. If you do this, this is fucked up, please change.
Anyway, another day, another reason to wipe this app from the face of the earth lol.
