Finally deleted Grindr because the bots have taken over.

Wasn't on it for a full two weeks. Opened it up yesterday to 19 messages from obvious bots. Within 2 minutes I had three more. How did they take it over? Is Grindr creating these fake profiles the way Ashley Madison was revealed to have faked female profiles? Or is it some other racket? Who is behind these bots? The whole app is ruined now.

What makes you think they're bots? Lots of hot guys are 2'1"!!!!

I wouldn't be on it because the people on there are very likely to have STIs, as reflected in their non-discriminating dirty promiscuous lifestyle.

Are you sure they are bots? Surely everyone on Grindr puts his full name and surname in his profile.

I am amazed some dudes show their faces on that app. I would be ashamed

Some guys put on their face pictures and proudly proclaim that they're on PREP. So much for discretion.

You all are delicate little sissies.

Why? I wouldn't respond to someone who didn't have a facepic. Is there really anything shameful about being on grindr? I don't get why any openly gay guy would care.

MARY! It is a tool, what you choose to do with it is up to you. I know many people who actually have started seriously dating someone off grindr.

so have I

I've also chatted with maybe thousands of guys and only hooked up with four or so.

All the hot guys on Grindr are just a scant 9,000 miles away.

GodDAMN the luck!

I deleted Grindr as well. It's all about Scruff now.

I thought you meant bottoms. So many gay men are you know.

I get them all the time. They're all under 3 feet tall and over 1,000 miles away. How can you even find guys 1,000 miles away?

"i'm so horny. i've been working out and i'm so hard."

It's always a generic compliment out of the blue from someone who doesn't even show up on my grid. "You look hot!" Profile shows very handsome and fit 20-something (I'm not unattractive but clearly middle-aged). All a little too perfect. Replies are returned within seconds. Everything vague but upbeat and complimentary. Direct questions ignored. Then you notice his height is 2'9" and he's apparently posting from Antarctica.

What's the racket here? Who's gaining from this? Are people really fooled by these bots? What are they for? Is Grindr behind them all? Why are they all 2'9"?

'Hey sexy' is the original greeting. If you send a reply the response is: 'Lol that was quick' - even if it's the following day. If you reply the response is : 'Lol. I've been working out so hard and it makes me horny'

That's exactly it, R15. I knew I had the responses slightly off.

If you write back, they refer you to some website / cam where some guy jerking off for a fee. That's all it is.

It's kind of funny they have 1000s of bot texts but they can't figure out how to change the height from 2'4" or whatever.

Why Grindr can't get rid of it is kind of pathetic. Their technology was always inferior to scruff... since Eric Silverberg went to MIT (Scruff founder) - I'm not surprised it works better. Joel was just a horny bottom who wanted to get laid and got lucky with his app idea.

Oddly enough it must work despite the midgetry because they'd stop doing it if it didn't.

You'd think they'd hire someone to help them block it

Nothing worse than an e-bottom.

Is it click bait? Maybe Grindr gets paid per click.

The bots learned that from us, r15. Shows how basic the average Grindr user is.

Does anybody else tune into Scruff’s live programming?? I do as a guilty pleasure! Some good day trivia

R22 how would one do that?

It's 2021, OP. Bots need hot sexy action too! Your words are literal violence hate crimes against AI!

R24 If they identify as real, that should be enough.

I don’t take anything seriously on that app at all. I now use it and it’s free version which is slightly annoying. But I honestly haven’t connected with anybody from there in a decade. It’s nice when people want to chat about life and sex.

I never get bots on Grindr, but I have the free version so I only get 10-15 guys in any given surrounding area. What I do get is these awful ads that take you to the app store. Once a conversation starts going into a back and forth it will take me to like Candy Crush or some stupid game, and then it takes multiple clicks to get back to the app. It really is a time waster. I'm not willing to pay for it, but imagine the paid version is better.

Grindr is the buggiest app in history. There are so many glitches and bugs and they have been there for years.

That's it R14 and R15. And the photos used are always a little too spot on. Lately they have been using photos of muscular asian guys.

The big tip off (which grindr warns out) is the faker tries to get you to text or use What's app. that they they can continue to work their con if their grindr profile gets suspended. If it gets to that point I share a screenshot of the grindr advice to not do that. At least half the time the faker gets offended. At that point I report and block.

Gay men finally got what they wanted: anonymous casual sex. They're not interested in relationships (unless they're broke).

We can hear R2 hisssssssssing all the way from Cincccccccinnati.

Someone needs to viciously slap R2 and then loosen her wimple and tighten her corset so nobody can see the whale sized fat rolls.

We all know she would respond like Carrie did.

R39 Yes

And I'll add one more slap
