Dear Grindr,

I am appalled at the fact that the platform constantly bans those who are posting in a professional manner, with no mention of anything “illegal” or against terms of service. There should be no reason my profile should be banned, simply because I post that I’m looking to offer a relaxing experience.

Let members pay you a small fee to advertise, verify their photos and ID. I truly dislike this culture that Grindr has CREATED, that says: You should be able to host and/or drive to me…for FREE. People want Uber/Lyft convenient sex, but don’t want to pay for it. With gas at $4 a gallon in many areas, why should I drive 20-30 miles across town everytime I want to meet a guy (in the metro area I live it is), for a meaningless hookup and then have to pay for my own gas? or have to get a hotel room that’s $100/night because Mr. DL/cheating on his BF can’t host? It’s nonsense

Grindr needs to stop trying to pretend they are a dating service. It’s not. It’s an virtual bathhouse. Majority of the guys I’ve met from it are all just looking for quick NSA sex. That’s why I feel it’s unfair to penalize those who are looking for an alternative.

Please do the right thing, and stop banning members. You stole from us clients that we have worked hard for years to maintain, and now adding insult to injury by blocking an alternative method to reach.
