Does anyone get on Grindr/Scruff (or any Lesbian equivalents) at work? How do you feel about talking to other people at your firm on the app?

I have. Only 1 person on there from the office and he was “straight.” (Grindr)

Right, Deloitte1! I’ve hooked up with a few people my level and might have accidentally made out with a manager at a holiday party 🤷‍♂️

EY5. Yeah. Straight coworkers are hooking up all the time. If you’re on Grindr, etc., you’re putting yourself out there. What’s so shocking about running into another coworker? Gays have sex. Is there something shameful about being on a hookup app? The older I get I realize I don’t give a fuck about what other people think.

@EY5, true but I don’t think there are many gay people in my office or at least ones that have Grindr 😂 I’ve seen a few on Tinder though 😝

@EY2 I don’t know why people feel ashamed. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Perhaps, they aren’t out or something else is up. That’s their business. I’ve had staff see me on Grindr during working hours. I don’t care.

Yeah I’ve honestly lost count 🤷🏼‍♂️

@PwC2 the gays are all over my office. Some people freak out when they find out it’s a co-worker on the other end. It’s like get over 💁🏽‍♂️. I’ve met more gays this way than the usual “professional” channels.

Yes I would use Grindr at the office just to meet new people that were gay. Once at a client site an executive was on there and recognized me. He wanted to hangout and I considered it as I was in Buffalo and there wasn't much to do but ultimately said no as it seemed unprofessional.

I always made it a point to not go on those apps during work hours. I didn’t want to see a client on there or have the distraction of chatting with people.

I did too but I never saw anyone from the firm or client on there but it'll be interesting if I did haha

I did too but I never saw anyone from the firm or client on there but it'll be interesting if I did haha

I don’t open any of those apps while at work... it’ll be awkward if I see someone’s from work on there 😱

OP, now did that go?

*how

Fine. They’re the same level as I am but a different service network. And we were both professional about it. That being said we haven’t been physically intimate at all because that’s like a hard stage to get to when you work together I think

what office is everyone from?

I’ve only slept with one person, my wife. I have not openly shared this with anyone because there’s a stigma that I “settled” or I don’t have numbers on the board like a man should. I’m not overly religious, so that was never a driver in the equation. I admit, I do think about the “what if” every once in awhile but I’m honestly getting to the age where I feel I’m beyond my prime anyhow.
