An error occurred while saving the comment It's not like the Block feature works, so this is kind of pointless.

The key sentence: "There should be a block for people that do not want to match with others that do."
Essentially, this sentence says everything that needs to be said, regardless of the "Reason" chosen by ANY user. This simple "Block" function (coding wise) SHOULD already exist for the simple reason of user personal safety and the ability for anyone to basically say, "yeah, I don't want that user seeing me, and I don't want to see that user." It's not rocket science; but rather Content Management System coding "basics".
Grindr's outright refusal to act upon this "fact" (beyond endless "excuses" and worse, attempting to profit by claiming to have monetized this feature for "Paying" members, when in fact it doesn't even work for members shelling out their hard earned money either), should be the best indicator that Grindr OPENLY does not care about user safety or security (at any level) and thus this application should be avoided for that undeniable and inexcusable reason alone.
This app COULD be decent and allow whatever types to connect at their various levels (keywords needs significant improvement); but instead it chooses to not improve, to not evolve and at every level of functionality, to basically not care about the user-base whatsoever, instead choosing only a path to solicit advertising revenue and get suckers to pay, even if just for a month; because why the hell not, its free money for doing nothing.
Basically, Grindr is maintained enough ONLY to be "compatible" so as not get booted from the Apple App store (and Apply only cares about getting their cut).
If your personal safety or security, or having the basic ability to block ANY user (for any reason) is an important "basic feature" that you would naturally, rationally expect to exist within ANY social media app; put simply and frankly, Grindr is wrong for you as it has no such protections. Safety and security are not issues Grindr cares about, as evidenced by the sheer number of times this specific issue has been raised, over such a long period of time and how it has gone completely ignored.
That's pretty much it.
