This grindr app

cloptrop

Due to an ingenious stroke of advertising or a misinformed trollop I heard of this grindr app .
Now Im all for people doin whatever the jaysus they want once they arnt hurting anyone but the media have me believe its an app specifically for gay men to have sex with gay men who happen to be in the same location as them . It also supposedly can guide them to the nearest convenience to get a bit of privacy . Is it a seedy app or is it just an internet dating app with a bad rep .
If a man was to start dating a fella and seen he had this app on his phone would he think of him as a bit of a perv or would it be standard for all gay peoples phones to have it?
I know any mention of homosexuality leads to people shouting or getting defensive and shouting very quickly so can we please keep this a disscussion on the app and not a chance to get a dig in .I am honestly very curious .




Not in that way .

No you're not. :eek:

In before the ban.

PS Yes, all gay people's phones have it preinstalled at the factory.

When apps first started I suggest a good one would be a "brothel" app.

Like maps with the local "lady of the night" locations.

Would have made a fortune too I think If I weren't such a lazy c0ck.

I also invented toping up mobile phone from bank machines in the very early 90's while freezing my bollix off one winter. About 5 years before some other person actually put it into action

I really wish I wasn't so lazy

That was the angry response I was hoping to avoid

Wish there was a straight version of grindr

First there was fast food; food on the go. Now there's fast sex. It's all good. BTW, Stephen Fry has it on his phone so it must be well regarded.

Is Stephen Fry single ? Hes everyones ideal dinner guest . Id be wary of what celebrities endorse though maybe he was paid to announce he has it .

It hasn't been much of a success, apparently there is something of a gender imbalance. What a surprise.

Has anyone tried the Bendr app??

Apparently it's the ghey version of blendr??

I have and use it for the laugh not everyone on it is after a quickie in the bushes.

I know the guy im seeing at the moment has it on his phone and it doesnt bother me atall either cos I know hes not the type of guy to do those kinda 'hook ups' either.

It doesn't do this.

I presume all member want to be members and no, it's not standard for all gay men to have this on their phones.

I don't see how it's in any way pervy. I've gone out in the past with an intention (not the sole intention) to partake in a casual fling. I suppose this is just a more modern version of the same thing. I don't know why differs from straiight people hooking up for sex on dating websites (the vast majority targeted at heterosexuals). It's much the same thing, no? And I presume not all the men on it are simply looking for one night stands.

I'm guessing it's quite difficult to meet gay men for sexual encounters if you're not into the "gay scene" (which is about one of 3 bars in Dublin, for example). One of my very close male friends used to have problems meeting men as he'd be into going to "normal" bars (bars that attract no specific sexual orientation).

cloptrop

So people just have it as a bit of a laugh ?
Do you put pictures on it and stuff or is it just chat .

That reminds me of the iPhone app that George Costanza invented in Seinfeld/Curb your Enthusiasm: The iToilet - using GPS technology to direct the user to the nearest acceptable public restroom.

There's an awful lot of quoting going on in here.

EDIT: And why not in this day and age everything is seedy, so what's the problem?

Man, instead of posting up here, why don't you Google it and do a bit of research yourself? You want to know how it works - the info is on the internet.

Maybe you should just report it and I or one of the other mods will deal with it as we see fit.

Id rather hear from people who use it than the medias spin on it . As already shown the media has mislead me to believe it was different to what it is . I thought it was some sort of cottageing app.

There's an app for that... :pac:


As there is for pretty much everything else! :rolleyes:

Maybe you should change your name to Nivea. It's more sensitive and has a nice ring to it.

Someone should create an app which warns you before you open a thread with a high troll quotient.

Just like more and more straight people are using dating websites with less stigma, a lot of gay people use these apps with no stigma at all.

Think of it, how easy is it for a straight guy to meet a straight girl? Pure simple. How easy is it for a gay man to run into another gay man? Not quite as simple.

These apps are no harm and it's just a guy thing regardless of sexuality. If straight guys had these same apps with no stigma, they'd be using them to the point of wearing out their phones. Lads are just horny bastards that way

Step 1: Open a new tab in your browser of choice.

Step 2: Type "google.com" in the address bar.

Step 3: Type "gloryhole" in the search box.



Seriously, some people have to be hand-held before they're let loose on the internet! :rolleyes:

Actually 1ZRed I think you should be the new "Internet Companion" the way you have of explaining things in a way even a four year old would understand!

Yeah then you have to explain where the history is. You should be able to get a fake history with a load of facebook and news history stuff . Like just get gour history filled with the top 20 clean sites on the web.
Anyhu im pretty hot if I was gay by the looks of things . Which is **** cause Im pretty average as a straight man .
