TFW you're so misogynistic you fuck only dudes
I dont fuck with women because women like dick and thats gay. Only way to have straight sex is just straight dude on stright dude action.
Hell yeah, bro. Continuing the noble tradition of the Spartans, who were so straight that they banged only dudes until the day they married their wife. When they consummated their marriage (ew) she had to shave her head and be in a dark room so that the husband wasn't creeped out by a femoid partner.

i always thought that gay-for-pay was only a fantasy, but i think i witnessed it last night; the bottom was so bored he yawned in the video. lol
Are you this guy? https://youtube.com/watch?v=zcQDlqT_6-k
Only (alpha males)
Gaslight, Obstruct, Project
Project
I said the real Project 2025.
Perfection.
I don't want to be the killjoy here, but I do think this is the kind of too-perfect-to-be-true story one might find out a week later was fake news. I'm holding out for a Snopes entry.
Like remember how it was big news that people weren't buying Corona beer during the early days of the pandemic because they confused the name? Fake news.
Not making a prediction here on this Grindr story, just urging skepticism until it's confirmed.
And if it is true, I'll laugh my ass off.
Update: A little over two months later and I just found the Snopes article. The whole claim started as satire and it seems like folks took it seriously.
I don't know about crashing, but Grindr has always seen spikes at RNC and CPAC events. This gets brought up every time there's an event.
It's like the whole "Pentagon Pizza Meter" thing.
The screenshot doesn't appear to be faked: https://downdetector.com/status/grindr/map/
Whether the data is correct is another question.
Here's a local paper reporting on it.
The Grindr user said on a normal day you'd encounter maybe 10 users with no profile photo, but Thursday, when he checked the app, he said he stopped counting at 50 blank profile photos.
Why is it hard to believe? This is a very well documented thing about Republicans.
They've been getting busted in truckstop bathrooms for decades.
Just because the story makes for such a hit of schadenfreude and self-righteousness for the left-of-what-the-U.S.-calls-"center" mind especially right now. (The Republicans have a history of being very anti-gay and librals (and everyone else, really) love to point out hypocracy like that.) And it's very easy to imagine that kind of story could take off in the not-fans-of-Republicans wing of social media even if there was no truth to it.
And also, there's nothing in the OP that makes it seem like anyone remotely reputable has seriously tried to verify it yet.
I'm not saying it's implausible. (Nor, clearly, do I think it's implausible it's just made up out of whole cloth.) Just that it's the kind of story that is likely to be swallowed hook-line-and-sinker by folks like me without consideration of whether it's actually true or not.
It would be even funnier if Grindr intentionally turned the app off ahead of some big Republican gathering. See what shakes out.
Fake or not, I'm not taking any actions based on it. It's just a funny story. I don't think we need to wait to laugh. We can assume it's true and no harm will be done.
Tbf Corona stock DID go down, probably much more than one would have expected given the economic turmoil of the time.
Well...
Typically when Republicans screech about gays going to hell you can just start a stop watch just to see how long it takes for that same Republican to be found in a motel room snorting meth from a gay escort dick
I like this story therefore it's true
Many conservatives would be a lot less angry if they would just openly admit that they like cock.
But then they would be mad at themselves since the only strength they can muster in life is holding back.
... Does this mean the Republican Party is embracing the Gay Agenda?
Nah, just finding new ways to fuck the LGBTQ+ community.
Permanently Deleted
Nah, its just a bunch of straight, masculine, white alpha males who fuck other straight, masculine, white alpha males.
nothin gay about it! /s
Only behind closed doors as they always have. Closeted homosexual self haters.
The GOP does not hug — that's for their priests and children
OMG This hits home too closely growing up for me. 🫣
Big bunch of repressed & depressed dads who are taking advantage of their time away from the fam…
That's really sad.
Republicans usually are
Welp, when your self-identity is directly correlated to your political beliefs & said beliefs are inherently hateful & divisive against minorities, it’s pretty tough to be confidently open about your “real you”
Ugh. Did you have to make me imagine fucking a Republican?
I once made out with a Republican. Then I found out she was a Republican. Fucking was not going to happen.
"I Just Had Sex" probably wouldn't even touch the charts if it came out today... Those jokes were written in a simpler time.
Vote. Emphatically say “HUHN! You like that?!” with every check mark.
It's too early in the morning for me to face the imagery of balls deep fascist on fascist action.
This person went undercover at CPAC and as a side project they made a fake Grindr profile. It's right at the beginning of this video at 0:40.
Crazy that that video is 11 years old and still just as relevant.
Hell yeah, love deaddomain.
i like dead domain
A party that will make sure all dicks are licked.
Makes sense. J.D. Vance was in town.
I didn't realize there were that many Log Cabin Republicans that attended this year...
Same energy as this
I knew it was that Onion episode before I even clicked. Nice.
fuck threads
Reminds me of this skit by The Onion.
I feel like this happens every four fucking years
As much as I want to believe, it looks like every major city is experiencing downtime. Looks like selectively used data.
The entire Milwaukee Metro area is smaller than Cleveland, which while it's on the map, it's not nearly the same size.
Ah nothing better than politics and hay sex
Epic!
Uh, that just looks like a population heat map, and Chicago would blend in with Milwaukee on this.
I get the joke, but it looks like it's just having problems everywhere.
Is it having problems at all? Downdetector had 100 reports, which could just be trolling. Grindr's status page says it's been up the whole time.
I can't independently verify this.
I’d venture a guess the service wasn’t really down, just overwhelmed by the higher-than-usual activity and timing out for many people.
Yeah, I get the joke, but this map does not show what people are implying it does, if grindr is even down at all.
"Everywhere" would imply the entire map is red, thanks.
No, a population heat map means it's darker over the cities. There's more reports in Chicago than say, middle of nowhere Montana because there are more people there to report. This map is reporting the locations people are when they report it is down. And the circles get bigger and darker the more reports from that area. So if it was down everywhere, you would see the biggest circles over the biggest cities, and smaller circles in smaller cities, just like in this map. You see NYC, Boston, Chicago, San Fran have the biggest ones, and then smaller cities like Minneapolis have smaller ones.
No, because the map is showing how many reports they got. So it's red where they got a lot of reports, and that correlates very tightly with where there are a lot of people, making the visualization kind of worthless.
Looks like its crashed everywhere.
