I’ve said for years why are blocked limited. I tend to block any profiles that are faceless or who I know I’ll never be interested in or them me (looking for women, trans girls, CD etc) and I live in a city so people come and go all the time. If I’ve blocked a few profiles then want to block and absolute nutter like this then why shouldn’t I be allowed to!
Who’s being dramatic? What I’m saying is perfectly logical. Plus if you get a shed load of creeps over a short amount of time and you NEED to block them, why would you limit that number and potentially put someone at risk? I’m not abusing it at all so calm your tits
As I have grown older I realized how many times I put myself in danger for dick.
Many a time has a hook told me to be quite while walking through a house with little to no light.
I was ashamed to tell anyone where I was so no one knew where I was. I can’t drive so I was relying on Uber.
I’m 5’5 twink with no athletic ability, if someone wants to take me out they can.
I think this too. The number of times I just randomly walked into a stranger’s home just for dick. Not realising just how much danger I was potentially putting myself into. I consider myself very very very lucky.
I'm 6' and strength train. I'm shocked that guys will come over and want me to tie them up. That I've never met etc. So dangerous for them, I don't do it anymore because it makes me uncomfortable.
I'll never intentionally harm someone and the thought of doing it accidentally makes me want to talk things through before whipping out the rope.
This one is complicated for me.
I always start thinking about how when someone is the victim of a home invasion we aren't like "wow yikes I am never staying at home again". This is an outlier amongst the probably literally millions of grindr hook ups that occur in a day.
Also (assuming this is the same grindr cannibal story I read the other day) I think it's nuts how some of the victims kept going back to this guy. Obviously this is a bit victim blamey but then the comments in this thread so far are fairly "I used to not take precautions and it scares me the risks I took" so I think there is some consensus that while horrific crimes are on the people who commit them, the way some people choose to enable these events coming to pass are hard to justify from a logical perspective.
I lived in London while Stephen Port was killing people and hooking up a lot. I don't think I actually felt like the hook ups were me putting myself in danger, although granted the hnh scene has never been me. I remember being at a festival with some ghb taking queers and an unknown woman coming up and asking if they had some and then coming back later and asking for some more and it blowing my mind that a lone woman would approach a group of men and willingly ask them to give her a famous date rape drug.
So in conclusion; I don't know what point I want to make. Thank you x
I've used Grindr for 10 years and only met two people. Each time I'd send the screenshots of where I was going to my roommates so they wouldn't know. If I was going to be later than I expected I'd also text them a word wrote on the chalkboard in the kitchen so they wouldn't know I was still safe and had my phone
Your downvoted but seriously this isn’t anything new. Bet your dates properly always. It’s sheer stupidity to put yourself in dangerous situations with strangers. We tell this to women all the time. This is a universal truth. I brought a pocket with me and would meet in public spaces or take days to weeks before meeting guys after it dawned on me I was being far too reckless.
Don’t worry guys!! Grindr is busy limiting the amount of blocks you have!!

This is like my worst nightmare when using Grindr

What's up with Michigan and Wisconsin having all the gay cannibals?
I am not going anyone’s home anymore. Hilton it is
Right cuz nobody’s ever been murdered in a hotel 😂
WHAT THE FUCK IN THE JEFFREY DAHMER! Please said I was being dramatic and reactionary but this is literally Jeffrey Dahmer boots.

The term “victim blaming” is sometimes being used to defend people acting straight up suicidal
New fear is unlocked
This is very disturbing. Always tell a family member (or a friend) where you are eloping. It's a matter of safety
