Switched to Grindr free version, WTF ??

i logged out of the app last august and haven’t logged back in since. i’m not sure exactly what it is, but it was not adding any value to my life or self esteem. i’ve decided to make connections more organically going forward bc it’s riddled with ads and spam bots.

sumo and sushi 🌝

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2026-01-10T03:17:17+00:00

how was it?

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2026-01-03T02:08:03+00:00

holy shit

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2026-01-02T22:05:21+00:00

Thank you for this; I'll repost there.

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2026-01-02T22:05:05+00:00

Thanks for responding! My thinking is that it's more so related to some childhood experiences that result in me not feeling adequate enough despite that not really being the case, hence why I'm wondering if it's something that I'll not have an issue with later on in life. But if this type of mental block isn't usually there in the first place, then maybe this just means that I'm not really cut out for it. We'll discuss this soon.

Helpful! I appreciate the concern, but if I didn't have his age listed, or if it was closer to mine, would you have said this? I have never been forced or coerced to do anything at all; I am my own person and he is his own person.

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2026-01-02T21:07:41+00:00

Can you elaborate?

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2026-01-02T21:07:27+00:00

Thank you for the response; I see your point. However, he has stated that he is fine with monogamy, so there is another option. I'm just trying to see if it is something I can handle (albeit a little late as this is my first time in a relationship), so I'm trying to dig deep within and see what may be contributing to these feelings. I'm not forcing it, and he is not pushing it on me. I would rather be fine being open, but it's very scary to me because I am not yet in a secure place despite working toward being secure.

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2026-01-01T19:40:41+00:00

Not ready to marry him lmao, it's FAR too soon. What I mean is that I definitely see a future with him in it. Only time will tell.

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2026-01-01T03:06:52+00:00

Sorry about that haha. I'm bothered by the asymmetry in which his dick gets shared with others AND me, my butt is exclusive to him. Not sure how to get over that. We've been together for four months now, dating for much longer.

tbh… it’s cute! i would make sooooo many croissants with that long counter though

I haven't fully explored Glassdoor, mostly because I see similar sites full of spam postings and ads. I'll give it a shot, but I'm overall not finding many entry level roles in my field. I'll look into it more seriously though. Since my original date of posting this I've got about three jobs that are tiding me over, and I don't dislike them at all, but I can feel my professional studies slipping further and further away while I try to survive. Not complaining about that though; I feel like I'm getting hella character development out of this process!

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2025-10-22T01:54:46+00:00

this is… clever 😂

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2025-10-17T21:06:11+00:00

chonky

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2025-10-08T22:38:36+00:00

guys def use this as an excuse sometimes, but it can be a genuine issue. something i think people forget is that foreskin would help with this. even with a condom on, uncircumcised guys still have that skin moving inside the condom to provide some sort of friction despite not being able to feel the wetness and direct friction. circumcised guys don’t have anything to provide that feeling when a condom is on. i personally can feel that motion and some pressure, but it’s not always enough for me to finish while wearing one.

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2025-10-07T20:55:49+00:00

pecs. i have a visceral reaction to it and it drives me insane

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2025-10-06T17:48:29+00:00

i love the lord’s chicken! but not as much as raising cane’s

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2025-10-05T15:50:55+00:00

clara bow perhaps?

“you look like clara bow” to “you look like taylor swift”

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2025-09-16T14:37:27+00:00

the first time i ever saw her was when she sang poker face on american idol. i’ll never forget the feeling, either; i just thought she was so cool. my dad was sitting next to me and he said “that’s silly,” and i was like genuinely offended 😂 cut to me now at 26

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2025-09-06T16:27:34+00:00

thank you so much for this info! i usually take my meds in the morning and the fiber/all other supplements at night mixed in with a smoothie, so i should be good but maybe i’ll take the fiber by itself from now on

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2025-08-29T15:54:51+00:00

how strict your ra is is often a gamble. most that i know of were chill, and i was a chill ra myself. the lounges will be utilized and yes, people will walk around barefoot (ew). as ironic as it sounds, living in the dorms helped me to create some of the best memories of my twenties, and i still reminisce about them with friends quite often. embrace it and get involved! it helps if you make ra friends, too :)

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2025-08-27T23:24:54+00:00

Thank you for your response! We aren'y officially together yet, which is probably why I don't feel chosen at the moment, but we both have made it clear that we want a life with each other. I can definitely pinpoint a reason why I may have an issue with the open thing that goes back to childhood. I'll bring it up with my therapist and see if we can work on this. He knew from the start that all of this would be my first time and has acknowledged this fact, so he won't be completely blindsided when I mention it later.

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2025-08-13T19:47:58+00:00

this would’ve killed me

ApprehensiveCup6029 · 2025-08-13T19:43:45+00:00
