is* absurd

the amount of gross pictures and comments i get from people i never had any prior interaction with us absurd. i would like it if there was an option so that they could only message me if i tap them back. it would avoid many unwanted dick pics. doesn’t have to be universal, just an option for less spam

Why would you sign up to a hookup app with sexual adverts yet be actively offended by someone not asking before sending a dick pic? Sexual content is part of the deal since it is the entire premise of the app. If you don't like it just delete it and move on. One shouldn't be so outraged by seeing a man naked.

When the app can tell people are meeting up based on what they're messaging, have a pop up reminder telling people to discuss what they actually want to do sexually when they meet in person. Often people text or sext about things and then feel pressured or get pressured to deliver on them, when really they don't want to do them. This can result in an awkward time at best and assault at worst. Regular pop up reminders that the normal thing to do is *talk in person about what you want to do* rather than just storming ahead with what you discussed over text.

Since the “Never” NSFW profile option is about as effective as half a condom we all know the app provides flashers a platform to share explicit content to others without consent.

I suggest a photo consent toggle feature. Don’t want to be bombarded with disappointing, poorly lit pictures of strangers’ genitals? Turn on the photo consent option!

Could be applied in a few different ways- when activated any and all received images appear blurred/greyed out until the receiver reveals them individually.

“User wants to send you a picture. Reveal?”
*Grindr takes no responsibility for the content of images shared on our platform. If images go against our standards please use the report function*

OR a simple consent banner might appear at the top of the chat. “Consent to receiving images from sunbearBBW42069? Yes / No”

Once consent is given any previously sent images will deliver and the sender is free to share as normal.

Happy grinding.

- tired of all those spam pictures advertising another site
- tired of getting shocking nude pictures from people you have no interest in
- just want to get to know someone before you share pictures

have a setting to block the pictures from showing up unless you click on something.

So, someone random dude sends you a picture and you have this enabled, a message would come up, this person wants to send you a picture? Accept, reject, block
