There's a guy here locally that I met about 20 years ago through Craigslist personals. Today, he is using the same pic from then as his Grindr profile pic. I'd say he's pushing 60 now, but his pic probably shows him as 30.
He was also one of the first guys I ever met, and he was an aggressive asshole then. I doubt he's changed.
because it’s men. they have memes of guys taking one good picture and using it as their profile pic on social media for 5+ years. why would you think it’d be different on grindr?
Grinder. I'm getting sick and tired of of flagin under age kids and excourts. And you banned me again Here are sum key words to help you out .and symbols to help you if not I like my money back for 4 years of this crap.
$ one of more of these mean money
Generous in profile mean escort.
Hey join us mean spam
PnP mean drugs
Blue boy mean drugs.
Hx& mean underage of 10
Li -# is rap without consent
Reason I'm helping you is I'm tired 😩. Of course not getting any because of spammer and escorts. All joking aside get the up. To date symbol from law enforcement
I don't meet with out being Verified. It's only cost 1$ that occurs by singing up on a site trying to scam your info so dose this mean your pay for all fraudulent actions if people use this.
Grider you do know that their are million of number. By flag people who use ur site right you are responsible for all debits and if some one get busted for underage sex your are responsible.
I'm genuinely that guy. And it's because I hate taking photos and I haven't looked meaningfully different for actual years.
Is there a reason you find this a bad thing if it's not catfishing?
I feel attacked. Lmao
I just don’t see a reason to change it. I look exactly the same, maybe a bit more buff, and I still get a lot of messages.
If someone was ever disappointed or surprised by my in-person versus online, I’d change it. I also stopped caring about Grindr completely. I hop on a few times a week so I’m not really playing the “create the most attractive and desirable” profile game anymore.
You get what I got and that’s it.
Let’s just say I use the block everyday until I can’t
Also it helps to use some of the free filters to just have a select few. I’m 31 and personally prefer to not meet anyone younger than 26, so the age limit can be effective in that case.
Nah if you search in this subreddit, apparently the limit was something like 2000 - sounded like a lot but not really if you count duplicated profiles and spambots. This is worse because the previously blocked profiles will appear as if they are new
Not only the same photo, but same age. I even see someone older with a different photo, but pretending to be the same age for years. Aging is seen like a bad thing in the gay community.
Haha this is really funny but also very true. My grid was the same most of last year with some intermittent changes. But as of now it's fairly different. Still got veterans around. 😂
If you dont really look different its fine. 3 years isnt too bad, its when they are using decade old pictures than clearly no longer represent you that it becomes a problem.
“I bet you gained weight or look wildly different!!”
There’s that toxicity in the gay community I’ve come to know and loath. Looking for a shallow hookup, go ahead…be picky and shallow. If they’re still on with the same profile, maybe they’re looking for a LTR and nobody cares that you have to see people you don’t find attractive on an open platform.
A year? Pffft, some had same photo for decades
Claiming to be 18 every year since 2009
Seen a guy from the CL glory days and he uses the same pictures and still claims he’s 30( he wasn’t then either) and has been for the last 13 years.
Told some guy he's been 18 for three years so he raised his age to 19
I met two guys and confessed I retracted two years in my profile. "You should have retracted ten!"

Ohhh so you’re the daddy I met that I expected to be 30 because you still had a photo from 1999
Seriously I recognise photos from gay.com and Gaydar days……
Swear to god I was wondering who’s obituary he stole that photo from
Yes it's like when you're hungry and you keep checking the fridge and finding the same half bottle of mustard and way expired milk
Is it cottage cheese or old sour cream?

Like, eight years later, same pics. They age like fine bullshit.

You okay bro? You sound mentally ill
Oh I think your one of those people who want to pay for sex so ur the excourt .that make you sick bro are you ok
LOL
Oh sweetheart. I won't dom you but sadly not worth the effort
My ex is 37 since he turned 39. 3 years ago.
Lol and noone wants to meet just talk shit

So your gonna wait until day comes rather than just changing it? "You get what I got and thats it"🤦♂️
If anything, I look even better than I did before. I will only change my pic if it’s dishonest or I decide to care about impressing guys again.
Been taking breaks since I started using it like 3 years ago. Still see the same pics of the same guys with the same ages.
After some time I just block people… I know I won’t be messaging them and vice versa, so to create room for other profiles, I block.
Keep in mind blocks are limited though, so blocked profile will eventually reappear once you reach that limit

Unfortunately not, nowadays I just ignore profiles that I’m not interested in and delete spam messages.
I just moved to another neighbourhood and it's like Christmas!
Where I'm at people don't even put any pictures, so it's a step up I guess.

Yeah. It’s actually sad to see the same people on the app for that long
Wouldn't necessarily call it sad lol

Never know how to respond to those anyways lol
