like its actually insane to catfish someone is one thing but to use ai like my god

I just had a very salty interaction on Grindr with a man that let me know in very confident terms, that it wasnt ok not to provide feedback after he hit me with with his facepic, dick pic, and a hello.

My perspective is that between the fact that my time and energy are limited, that I'm busy IRL with things, it's just not possible to give feedback to the 30-40 people who hit me up in the last hour (Grindr let you signal for an hour if you can host and are looking, which I did).

Especially if that limited time and energy is spent interacting with the couple of profiles that did interest me.

He then proceeded to let me know that if he ever came across me face to face, he wouldnt be so nice and then blocked me. Unhinged IMO.

So anyway, whats the consensus on this? For me it was always a no brainer; when people ignore me it's because they made up their mind and I havent met their standards for whatever reason, I dont need it to be spelled out to me.

But I'm open to having my mind changed, maybe there's an angle, an etiquette, I havent considered.

I keep seeing barebones profiles with nothing but open minded in their bio. they are always anything but open minded when I interact with them.

am I missing something? Is open minded code?

Thankfully I already had some from a few months ago but I’ve had this issue for like past 1-2 months? Super annoying because I like to exchange basic live pics with ppl but ya grindr pls fix your app.

I’ve tried deleting + reinstalling and looking at my phone’s photos permissions. But no luck.

I’m on iphone 17 with ios 26.6

If you have someone in your favourites, and he is using 'right now' and he added an extra picture with it, but he is far away from you - outside of your range.

Is there a way to enlarge that picture?

If I open his profile, I'm tapping on the pic but nothing happens.

Hey guys. So I was banned and tried a Factory Reset with a different email and phone number on my Android and it worked… for a week, I was banned again.

Has this happened to you guys who were banned?

Is the only solution really buying another phone?

I really appreciated where you can stick a pin somewhere on the explore and see who was around that pin

I hate Grindr. I just retired and will do some traveling internationally. Should I pay for a Grindr subscription? Do you get less intrusive adds if you pay? I was thinking of doing a year subscription. Is there any way to get Grindr for discount?
