Grindr Fails: No Pic, No Chat!

We all know that the best way to get lucky on Grindr is to include good pictures.

I mean, that’s like dating/hook-up apps 101, right?

That’s why we put our best images of ourselves out there. Our face, our body if we’re comfortable, and ALL our body if we’re super comfortable. Some jerks like to post fake photos of themselves in hopes of fishing out a naive swiper. Some ONLY show their body. I guess they’ve never heard of #bodynoface.

Some people choose not to have a photo on their main profile and wait to share them when they’ve started a private conversation with someone. I guess that's ok if it makes you feel more comfortable to be more discreet.

Some people try to start conversations without ever showing a picture of themselves. I guess that’s ok, but I sure wouldn’t expect any activity from anybody unless they're into total anonymity. (Does that ever really happen?!)

With all this in mind, it is understandable for you to expect to see the pictures of the other guys on there and it’s totally ok to ask for more pictures or other pictures.

But why the hell would anyone think that they have the right to ask for your pictures, but refuse to share any of their own?!

This is the subject of this week’s #GrindrFails

So a guy opens with this:

I think the responder was pretty straightforward. Now would be a good time to share a good pic of yourself, at least if you're really interested. But no, this is all we get:

Ok...

Can the guy take a hint?!

Apparently not...

I guess some people just don't know when to quit or don't know how to start.

In conclusion, if you're serious about talking to somebody you should include a pic. If you're not going to include a pic I don't think you'll have any luck. But you really, really won't luck out if you have the nerves to ask for a pic and then refuse to share your own.

Come the fuck on guys...
