Hello?

Bump.

I see.

Wtf.

I didn't even know you were a trans woman.

She was cute, in that troubled girl way.

I assumed it was basically normal.

What about duckbear? It seems like he's gone as well.

I still don't know wtf an otter is. Apart from one of those furry creatures that live in water.

What do you start with? How strong do you come on?

You know, a lot of people haven't even responded. Is that a red flag? Or is that a "normal" part of the hook-up and relationship app experience?

You know, I had some fun on it a little while ago. Even though I don't know if I'm going to get to meet up with anyone, there's something good about looking at a picture of a guy with a six pack in his underwear, and sending him a message or two. Exciting. Some of the men seem dumb, though. I guess it doesn't matter, but it's annoying.

I like when he goes crazy!

Is that your "strategy" for getting a girlfriend?

What are other people's "approaches" to these apps? Speak to as many people as possible? Just speak to the people you think are really nice? Go with people who live near you?

There's a guy who's not bad looking who I've spoken to a little. Maybe I'll meet up with him. There's some other guy who gave me a sarcastic response to something I asked him. There seem to be a lot of passive-aggressive people on Grindr.

A guy I like liked my last message to him. Maybe I'll be getting laid with him. Who knows?

Those two did SO many films together.

Just had a scary conversation. Some unattractive, seemingly overweight guy, who said he wanted me to meet with him and do various types of rough sex. I politely said no, and then he said alright, and blocked me. The sad thing is, I considered doing it.

I like underwired bras.

Problems in NYC, pinky?

Very badly, right?

How is a person supposed to pick who to meet up with? Just on looks? How far away they live? Whether they seem like a dangerous maniac or not? Shared interests?

Thanks, that's interesting. And disturbing.

I asked some guy what he likes, and he replied that he likes a guy who fucks and kisses him at the same time. Someone spoke to me on the app!

Is Grindr a bit different in design from other similar apps?

No, I've had the D before. But not in quite a while.

Is this a new game or a rerelease?

I just got a tap to my phone from a gay couple!

Most people get some action PRETTY quickly on Grindr, right? It's not like Tinder or Hinge?

It's different to how I thought it would be. Tinder and other apps, apparently, are mostly viewing profiles in a row and swiping left or right. The way Grindr works, you have a bunch of pictures displayed together, starting with people geographically nearest to you, and getting further away, and after reading their profile you can either message or tap them (the latter shows you like the person). The people seem pretty open and outgoing, which stands to reason for an LGBT hook-up app. I'm disappointed at how many people "cheat", by uploading a semi-nude picture, but without the face showing. There are plenty of cute and good-looking guys there, which is actually kinda intimidating. Relatively young, too, with many in their 20s. I've already messaged a few guys I liked the look of, and gotten some responses. No offers to meet up, though.

The design features seem fine. You can view pictures, talk, and so on. There appear to be plenty of premium options, but the basic stuff seems more than enough for a person to connect with other people. There is something SLIGHTLY creepy and weird, though. The stuff the guys are up for. Also, although I have a good grasp of LGBT and sex slang, there are terms I don't quite, uh, get. Uh. I know what tops and bottoms are, of course, but I don't know what a ver bottom is. Also, wtf at the term "bear". Some of this is scary.

I do worry that, despite the common sensibility that Grindr is incredibly easy to get laid on, I won't be good or cool enough for the people there, or something. I dunno. I'm very average, plus my long-haired look doesn't seem representative of the average guy on there. Geographically speaking, however, I've already seen at least 20 or 30 guys within walking distance of where I live.

Thoughts on this?

And what is it?

9 floors (I think), upper-middle-class residential building.

Do you know much about economics?

I saw it recently. It was decent.

Hello?

There we go.

John Connor was the saviour of the human race. His initials were JC. Like Jesus Christ.

I had never noticed this! I suppose it might have just been a co-coincidence.

Do you know?

Bump.

Lady J - French romantic period piece set in (possibly) the 18th century.
Paris is Us - modern French romantic film.
A Land Imagined - film set in Singapore about a disappeared guy who likes using a late-night cyber cafe.
Man In Love - Asian romantic drama.

Those are some pretty good films. I also noticed recently that the very good French LGBT romance film Portrait of a Lady on Fire has been uploaded to Netflix. That's really enjoyable.

What's the rough maximum word limit for profiles?

Has your profile proven "successful" or not?

If anything, that girl was creepy, not me. She didn't understand acceptable social standards.

I expect there are a few LGBT strongholds there.

Like what?

Roughly?

I have 0. I am not happy with this number.

How has this topic gotten so many posts?

Did you find it complicated? Did it bother you? Did anything go wrong?

I'm British.

Those boobs, though. Lovely. She had a nice body and tan, as well.

I couldn't quite believe it. From the front, it was just some kind of top worn very loose, but when viewed over my shoulder, I could see her bare breasts bouncing around inside the top. Couldn't quite see the nipples. The girl either didn't notice or didn't care.

Is it wrong to be pleased about this?

Do you think this is common? Have you been badly hurt by these things?
