Im quitting grindr...

Sorry, this is a vent...
I've been to around 7 or 8 dates and/or hook ups using grindr so far this year. All of them horrible - people completely high on all sort of drugs - looking like zombies, bad conversations and/or bad sex. It is just not worth it.

I'm back to the 90s where there was no dating app.

OP, you’re forgetting the gay chat rooms on AOL and gay.com. But those were different than what you get on the apps around now. (Apps that I’ve actually never used.) I met my current partner drunk out of my mind at a VERY seedy gay bar drunk out of my mind. Somehow, it still worked. I think we met each other and woke up next to each other the worst we’d ever look (hung over, etc., having to actually introduce ourselves as we forgot each other’s names). Something more fun about it. But if you’re not interested in the kind of people who will be high out of their minds, IRL venues certainly can do that too.

You get dates from Grindr? I’d be lucky they’d even show up. So many flakes and pic collectors. I agree, dating was better when people met in person. Social media is poison for dating.
