Visiting a friend in Elizabeth, New Jersey tonight and guess what I found when I switched on Grindr...



p.s. - how do you guys manage to attach such big images? Tell me, tell me, tell me!

You can get both if you want - both are free.

You can download Jack'd as well...

I just realized that this is a fake profile - that's a Latino actor, William Levy.

What is it with these racist trolls?!

it may be fake, but that guy IS hot. But if it was a real profile, the fact that he has narrowed his sexual prefereces down to only white ppl exactly like himself makes me wonder..... What a dickhead!

I may still be having , not having, this or another similar, conversation/s in the near or distant future. This is in no way to confused with haplessness or procrastination or other negative associations.

LOL! This thread is a great read. Now, will you all let me nominate somebody, actually, a team of people for a douche award?

The profile moderators.

As luck would have it, I have in the last couple of days seen my Grindr account slapped with a ban due to an offensive photo I allegedly posted up as my profile pic. After getting over the initial shock of being told my profile photo was "offensive" I was able to read that Grindr has an "appeals" process for people who have been banned to find out why they have been banned, and also to provide a case for consideration of having your account unbanned.

Using this process, I have been able to find out why I was banned, and more specifically, what was apparently so offensive about my photo. Here is what I was told:

"Your profile was moderated due to the uploading of a photo which contained religious symbolism which may cause offence. Due to the fact that subsequent to this moderation, you attempted to upload the same photo again, this has been reported as a violation of our terms of service, and as a result, your account has been banned until further notice. "

It seems the cardinal sin I have committed is trying to use a photo of my garden at home which, features a Buddhist statue as a centre piece. (Simply because I admire the Buddhist faith and believe the statue brings a feeling of peace in my back garden.)

Of course I could go on about the irony involved in the operators of an app created for the purpose of gay men finding casual sexual encounters seemingly taking the moral/religious high ground, but that would be to easy and too obvious.

I do however struggle to get my head around the fact that an app which not only turns a blind eye to profiles containing blatant racist and discriminatory material, including in some cases, comments which are blatantly offensive to peoples religious beliefs, could have such an issue with a statue, and a very beautiful one of that.

I recently reported a 14 year old who was using Grindr to pick up sex with older men, and was issued with a response that said that unless I could provide "legally accepted forms of documentation proving the date of birth of the profile user" there was nothing they could do about it.

But god help us all, if you use a photo of a statue and some bushes and shrubs as a profile photo, you are out. GONE!!!

Anybody care to shed some light?

I met the CEO of Grindr, Joel Simkhai at a Grindr event at Boxers Gym Bar tonite.

I'm also a bit tipsy - so I will update to anyone who's interested to know tomorrow.

But right now I need to sleep this intoxication away....

Tall glass of water and two panadol always do the trick for me.

This thread is a good advertisment for good old fashioned dating. At least then you got to have sex with them two or three times before you found out they were a douchebag.

I'm wondering who would've even bothered reporting it to anyone. I mean seriously who cares about that?

I guess they want to have it purely as a 'here is my age, photo and preferences' thing? I'm not sure. The 14 year old thing was disturbing. I don't see why they can't just make a terms of service and straight up ban underage people. I know other sites do.

Also there's no way that 'looking for the impossible' guy is 26 :/

I have an update.

GrindR have lifted the ban on my profile, but have stated that I must read the guidelines regarding profile photos, as If I violate the guidelines again, the next ban will be permanent. Im still puzzled. Below is the photo I tried to upload. Help me understand people. How is this photo of my backyard statue....offensive.

I haven't put 'No Asians' in a profile, I have put 'Prefer White'.

But I understand white guys putting 'No Asian', they are simply fed up with the avalanche of approaches from gay asian guys trying to get a white boy.

It's the gay asians who are racial profilers.

And like a lot of white guys I generally don't find Asian facial features attractive. Aside from a few exceptions I'm not interested in sex with them.

Ditto for old buggers, the countless times I have got messages telling me how much more 'comfortable' they feel around young guys or how much better they 'connect' or 'relate'. Yeah right.

"Douche Bags of Grindr" is basically a beat up on white guys in keeping with the "No Sexual Racism" propaganda coming from bitter twisted queens who get rejected all the time online.
