if ur realistic about what ur getting out of the app , what is there to look down upon ???
would i personally go to Grindr trying to find a boyfriend or partner ?? no , but hey if that works for some of ya'll ok. i use it for sex and the occasional friend if the stars align

no one should be ashamed of Grindr in 2016 , plus as legend Shakira would advocate, u should try everything to see what works best for u
