Grindr Fails: Golddiggers, Construction Guys, & Dirty Bottoms

We love doing this Grindr Fails column. First of all, they always make us laugh. Second of all, it is comforting to know that we aren't the only ones who have to deal with crazies on the app. We know, we know, it isn't politically correct to say crazies, but let's face it, there are a lot of crazy gays out there. What is it about chatting on Grindr that can bring out the weirdos? The crazy truth is that some of the best sex we've had from Grindr has been with some, um, interesting people. Why are the crazies so good in bed? LOL. But there is a huge difference between being a bit strange and being a total crazy pants. You gotta love this insane dating life!

This meme pretty much sums it all up. Hot sex or crazy pants? Or both? We also know that the fantasy of a hot construction worker very rarely matches the reality of a construction worker. Although having a lunchtime tryst with a construction guy can evoke all kinds of fun jokes that you can tell your bestie. Oh, man, I got nailed at lunch! He had a huge hammer! He let me borrow his tool. The list goes on and on.

Um, what exactly is going on here? Is this guy pimping out another group of guys? Are we so horny that we don't care about the level of quality, we just want some holes to plug? Ah, finding love in today's Grindr age.

Tick tock, there's no time to waste. Maybe we should start putting in our credit scores on Grindr, so we know exactly who we are dealing with. Beware the golddiggers on Grindr, they are thirsty!

We aren't saying your Grindr guy needs to be Shakespeare, but there should be some chemistry in the back-and-forth chat. Unless you are sporting a 10-incher, you need to have some communication skills. LOL.

WTF? Is this Grindr gay lost at sea, a merman, or a pirate?

We have so many issues with all the red flags with this next one. First of all, poor Grandma had to get her couch steam cleaned. LOL.

Sometimes we just want to throw in the towel and call it a day. Trying to get some D on Grindr is like a Saw movie; everyone wants to play games until we pass away.
