1. Ethnicity

   Argument: Why Choosing Your Ethnicity on Grindr Is Not Racism

   When users on Grindr or similar dating apps indicate their preferences regarding ethnicity, it's important to differentiate between personal preferences and racism. Here are several reasons why such preferences, when exercised respectfully and with awareness, do not necessarily equate to racism:

   1. Personal Preference Is a Natural Part of Attraction
      People are naturally attracted to others based on a variety of factors, including physical appearance, personality, cultural background, and, yes, ethnicity. Ethnicity can shape a person’s identity, including cultural practices, language, and even physical features, which may influence what an individual finds attractive. Just as someone might have a preference for a certain hair color or body type, a preference for ethnicity is simply part of the broader spectrum of personal attraction.

   2. Ethnicity and Cultural Connection
      For many, shared ethnic background can be important because it aligns with shared experiences, values, and cultural references. People might feel more comfortable dating within their own ethnic group because it provides a sense of shared history, common ground, and mutual understanding. In this context, the choice is less about exclusion and more about seeking someone with a similar background and experiences.

   3. Cultural Identity and Pride
      Ethnicity often ties into a person's sense of cultural pride and identity. Just as a person might want to connect with someone who shares their national or regional identity, ethnicity on dating apps can be a way to celebrate and connect with others who identify similarly. For instance, a person who identifies strongly with their Latinx, Black, or Asian heritage might prefer to meet people who understand and appreciate the nuances of that identity. This preference is a personal choice, not a racial judgment or exclusion of others.

   4. Not About Stereotyping or Generalizing
      Having a preference for a specific ethnicity does not automatically equate to racism. Racism is rooted in prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed at someone based on their race. However, choosing to date people of a certain ethnicity (or avoiding others) is a matter of individual choice, and it doesn’t inherently involve prejudging or demeaning others based on their race. The key difference here is the intent: racism is about dehumanizing or belittling others, whereas personal attraction is about individual taste.

   5. Acknowledging Historical Context
      Many critics argue that preferences in dating apps reflect the broader societal dynamics of racial inequality or colonial histories. While it's true that racism is entrenched in many societies, acknowledging this historical context should not automatically reduce personal preferences to acts of racial bias. People’s preferences can exist alongside their broader commitment to fighting racism. For example, someone may have preferences based on ethnicity but still actively engage in anti-racist efforts in other aspects of their life, such as through social activism or supporting diversity.

   6. Ethnic Preferences Can Be Based on Positive Experience, Not Exclusion
      Often, preferences for certain ethnicities are not driven by negative stereotypes but rather positive experiences or attractions. For example, someone may prefer dating people of a particular ethnic group because they’ve had past relationships with individuals from that group and found those connections fulfilling. This positive reinforcement doesn't constitute racism; it simply reflects an individual’s dating history and experiences.

   7. A Matter of Choice and Freedom
      Dating preferences are personal and subjective. Just as people choose to date based on physical appearance, personality, or shared values, they also choose based on ethnicity. In a free society, individuals have the autonomy to make choices that best reflect their personal desires. Imposing blanket rules that dictate who someone can or cannot date based on their preferences infringes on this personal freedom.

   Conclusion:
   While it's crucial to approach conversations about ethnicity with sensitivity, the act of choosing one's ethnicity on Grindr or similar apps is not inherently racist. It is simply a form of personal preference rooted in attraction, cultural identity, and shared experiences. Racism involves harmful attitudes, discrimination, and prejudice, which are fundamentally different from personal dating preferences. As long as preferences are communicated respectfully and without demeaning others, choosing one's ethnicity is an individual decision that does not equate to racism.

5. NSFW Pics

   "NSFW Pics: Never" doesn't show when others view my profile.
   Also, please make the setting actually do something... it should prevent the sender's message from reaching those who don't want to be sexually assaulted via your app.
   Dickpics are sexual assault.

9. spam

   Is Grindr spamming its users? I regularly get a spam message or tap 15-20 minutes after i quit the app. Like every time, for the last 2-3 weeks. I think they're doing it to boost engagement. Thoughts?

10. A way to verify yourself

    Right now we are all aware there are many individuals who have fake profiles, and even individuals who are scamming people. I understand people want to be discreet, but there should be a feature kind of like tinder where you actually get a checkmark for being verified with your profile. Somebody in the past created a fake profile trying to sextort me which I ended up reporting to the FBI. The problem is they blocked my profile right away before I was able to report it to Grindr. There are too many scam artists on here with bad intentions. There should be a community where people should feel safe. That is why I think there needs to be a way to get verified if a person chooses.

11. Grindr web

    IM DONE WITH GRINDR!
    I just received a notification in my Grindr chats “hey Grindr web is now available- but only for extra and unlimited users”

    MAKE GRINDR WEB VERSION FREE FOR ALL USERS!!!!

    then I will come back

    apparently Grindr isn’t making enough money they need to take more advantage of the customers who pay their salaries by taking away a feature all users had access to & now making us pay for it.. while they heavily pack the app with even more ads no one is interested in.

13. Spoken Language

    Hello! I think you should make it so that you can choose which languages ​​you speak. I don't know how many times the conversation has started with us actually speaking the same language, but one thinks the other is foreign and writes in English. Or that I think someone else is Norwegian, but then they don't understand Norwegian. My experience is that many conversations become awkward when this happens. It would be great if everyone could enter in the bio which language they speak.

16. Ads 🤬

    Apps. I never read them. I just close spp and start again. I'm here to meet people not read ads.
    Don't you dare send me to another site!
    It's fucking stupid!
    I personally ignore every single ad I see and if I see them in public or it's a service I need, if I saw the ad anywhere I will purposely not buy it, do not interrupt my browsing history.. I don't want to be bothered by your boring information that does not pertain to what I'm looking for that you have to tell me right away. Personally I do not give a flying fuck about any of your ads. You're talking to someone who streamed online free anime episodes for years because anime was $50 a movie back in the early 2000s. There's not much you can get me to pay for that I can't find for free on the internet. Keep ads off dating sites even the free versions. This is ridiculous. I personally am on a fixed income & I can't buy your stupid website privileges based on how expensive they are.

    Here's a thought.... keep ads on the TV or in the newspaper where they fucking belong. 🤷

17. Scammers can block me, preventing reporting

    If a scammer gets the sense that I am onto them (eg. They ask if we could switch to WhatsApp and I say no), they quickly block me and disappear from my message feed. The flaw in the system is that I am then not able to report them. Could you not leave the historical message chain active, but prevent the blocked person from further communication?
