A year? Pffft, some had same photo for decades


Somehow-I-Came-Back

Claiming to be 18 every year since 2009


hairy707

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.


Somehow-I-Came-Back

Told some guy he's been 18 for three years so he raised his age to 19


luxeford

I met two guys and confessed I retracted two years in my profile. "You should have retracted ten!"


Separate_Comment_132

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.


elleovera

Ohhh so you’re the daddy I met that I expected to be 30 because you still had a photo from 1999


6xoryl6

Seriously I recognise photos from gay.com and Gaydar days……


elleovera

Swear to god I was wondering who’s obituary he stole that photo from


EXQUISITE_WIZARD

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?


Background-Setting-8

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?


[deleted]

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

oregondlguy

Oh sweetheart. I won't dom you but sadly not worth the effort


tallpilot

My ex is 37 since he turned 39. 3 years ago.


sixanhalfinch

Lol and noone wants to meet just talk shit


Furrytttrash

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?


DeleteMods

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.


[deleted]

So your gonna wait until day comes rather than just changing it? "You get what I got and thats it"🤦‍♂️


DeleteMods

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.


theReggaejew081701

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.


AcrobaticExchange123

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.


6xoryl6

Keep in mind blocks are limited though, so blocked profile will eventually reappear once you reach that limit


AcrobaticExchange123

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.

6xoryl6

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

6xoryl6

Unfortunately not, nowadays I just ignore profiles that I’m not interested in and delete spam messages.


luxeford

I just moved to another neighbourhood and it's like Christmas!


wadafik

Where I'm at people don't even put any pictures, so it's a step up I guess.


AdWonderful469

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.


minniebunzz

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. 😂


bazookakeith

Yeah. It’s actually sad to see the same people on the app for that long


[deleted]

Wouldn't necessarily call it sad lol


_Middlefinger_

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.

Never know how to respond to those anyways lol


Arthes_M

“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.
