Yikes. BIG YIKES. Just think about this you're sending a photo of you having sex, with someone's deal with included in the photo (whether it's yours or your partner/s), without even a greeting or a prompt beforehand. Even if you've had consent from the person/s in the photo to share it on Grindr you likely haven't had consent from the person you're sending it to. There's also legal implications here. Don't do this.
9️⃣ A NSFW pic with a partner/s without face/s
I mean, as above, it's arguably just as bad of an idea to send this pic as your first message. But for the purpose of this ranking, it's the lesser of the two, because at least the tackle of the person/s involved is kept private. But, still, it's a shitty thing to carry out to the person you're messaging AND the other person/s in the photo.

After reading VICE&#;s useful guide for men on Tinder, I was inspired to do the equal for my fellow man on Grindr.

GRINDR IS NOT TINDER
If you picture Tinder&#;s interface enjoy a filtration system, imagine Grindr like wading through a swamp with no shoes on. Anyone can send you unsolicited nudes as their icebreaker. ANYONE. There&#;s no degree of separation for a vetting process, it&#;s just a bunch of thirsty dudes in geographic cesspools hunting each other.
Because it&#;s not verb Tinder, you shouldn&#;t be modeling your Grindr profile like one. Tinder is where you can post vacation photos with maybe a family member or adj girlfriend to make it peer lik

Since its initial public offering in , Grindr has been on a rocky road financially. Its stock has fallen 70 percent since its SPAC. After hitting an IPO-high of $, it currently sits at $ Last summer, employees announced plans to unionize, amid industry layoffs and worries that the company was losing its progressive culture. Two weeks later, CEO George Arrison abruptly ordered his mostly remote workforce of people back to the office. About half the company left and Grindr paid out more than $9 million in severance.
Now, Grindr plans to raise revenue by monetizing the app more aggressively, putting previously free features behind a paywall, and rolling out new in-app purchases, employees say. The company is curre
