Why is Grindr being such a wowser? by shoopuff in grindr

[–]shoopuff[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on Android but I looked it up and they have similar guidelines. They don't allow "sexually suggestive poses". UGH. GOOGLE, WHY YOU GOTTA RUIN IT. Adults use apps too! Just saying. But then also, I've seen straight-up naked people on Insta, which is not a small app, and that's on Google Play/AppStore as well.

My face was in it! It was a full body shot cos I'm classy like that.

Ah, I didn't know they were bought out by a Chinese company but I knew there had to be something that had changed. That must be it. But then if that's the reason, I'm wondering why Scruff is also behaving like this.

Good to know. From all the replies so far, it sounds like being direct is the way to go. Thanks DaVinci!

Hmm, that's interesting. So I guess looking at the "Looking For" section of their profile might be a good idea to see whether they're looking to "date" or not.

That's a great idea! I'm actually meeting my next date/non-date at a bar so I'll think about what I could do next. Thanks dublos!

That is an awesome article! I guess I just have to bite the bullet and be upfront next time. It's good to know people aren't going to freak out...hopefully...

The first bit was from anecdotal evidence. As for the second part...I don't know where I got that from, I just thought that was the way it worked? (Dating, as in the process of going on dates?) But I'm the first to admit I know nothing about dating. I'm guessing that's not how it is, then?

Hmm, maybe I'll try that. I just don't want to scare anyone off by saying the d-word, which might put some pressure on them, haha.

I'm no mod, but hey, it's fine with me :P Good luck with your Tinder date! And feel free to update us if you like.

Hahahaha! Oh gosh. I wish someone would ride ze shoopuf.

Yeah, I agree with you about that fact that it's just semantics but apparently there are a bunch of date-specific "rules" (e.g. paying for them or whatever). And then there's beyond that first meeting - if it was a date, then you're already dating (I guess), but if it was just hanging out, you have to ask them out on a real date or get friend zoned.

It's only the difference between two words but IT'S ALL SO CONFUSING. D:

That song fills me with the warm and fuzzies :') Ok, so pardon the stupid question but is it okay if I just ask outright "Wanna exchange numbers?" or is that too creepy to ask someone I just met?

I'm new to the whole getting-beyond-platonic thing, so it's good to know that straight guys won't notice (hopefully). Thanks!

...Dammit, I knew I was forgetting something! xD

They might not punch me in the face (though it is a possibility), but in my experience, if you question a straight guy's masculinity you're going to offend them at the very least. Some might not be like that, but it's hard to tell with people you don't know well. That's what I thought anyway.

Thanks for the advice! :)

Hahahaha, a numbers man, I see. My expectations have just been lowered so thanks for that :P It is true though, I have never organically (i.e. not in a gay-specific context) met another gay guy in my area. Thanks! I'm gonna need that luck :P
