“Not interested” tap option
Taps. Currently we have the flame, devil and friendly hello tap option. Why don’t we have a “not interested” tap option too? A lot of people have problems with being ignored by others when someone isn’t interested in them. However, people also cannot be bothered to reject others with words - it’s too much effort. This update to the tap mechanism could kill two birds with one stone. It makes it less time/energy consuming to reject people with just a click of a button. AND the guys who feel invalidated when being ignored, can get an answer - instead of pestering folk for answers. I believe this is pretty efficient and is better for everyone’s mental health.

This idea would also discourage those who spam their grid with flame taps. When they get flooded with "not interested" taps in return they'll probably be a little more discerning.

You can save a message that says as such and use it in the quick replies section.

Why not block the guys that don’t interest you instead? It frees up space for new guys for the blocker and the blocked and they don’t wonder any more. People need to use the block button more.

The problem with blocking someone is that Grindr's block system is not very reliable I have blocked the same people multiple times. Seems if you blocks get full they just randomly unblock some of the people you have blocked. This is also a suggestion to make blocks more effective if you want to search thru all the suggestions you will find it. So yes I am in Favor of a "Not Interested" tap option

Grindr charge a lot for premium and they want people to think that there’s lots of interested guys… which is why it says online when they went ages ago. So it’s no surprise they don’t want to add a no thanks message.
Any app that’s there to benefit the user would have a quick feedback option… force a response before you can move on… yes/no/more detail

Marvellous idea darling 😘

Now this sounds like a very very good idea do you know how much time people waste on here messaging the same person over and over because that person is to nice to block you but to lazy to type sorry not interested??? This should have been done a long time ago!!! Introduce it for 2023!!!

Or you could be a decent person and block him

Hey I paid for the full app. The idea is not stupid. Blocking somebody hurts their feelings. Saying not interested doesn’t. If the person persist then block them. Simple human kindness should be encouraged and easy. Not difficult or discourage.

The solution about adding custom phrases is nott workable. That feature is broken. . I created two custom phrases. It takes me like seven paragraphs to describe how to get to my house, so I added to custom phrases the directions. Now when I try to use the app, I can’t chat with anybody because the custom phrase buttons take up the majority is the chat window. Phrase feature assumes that you’re only saying one or two words not a paragraph. Even only one kr two word phrases take up chat wondo Real estate I had to delete my custom multi line phrases - in order to be able to chat with folks.

It's a good idea, but I think the problem would still remain. Most of the times when I'm not interested they still continue to persist, I have to tell them that I don't find them attractive either because of age, weight... and even then some will continue with their "mission".
I think that a good solution for this though could be a temporary block, so when you hit the "I'm not interested" you two wouldn't be able to talk to each other for 1/2 days

I agree with the “create a phrase” idea mentioned.
We all know how ridiculously fast Grindr is at adding things and at the same time making said idea a “paid for” only idea that you might as well save time and create the phrase yourself.
All the cool kids are doing this!..I joke!
