In as much as I hate Grindr, it's been my best shot and in some cases my only option at meeting people.

Like most gay folks, I have a love-hate relationship with Grindr. I always delete the app and swear to the gods never to re-install it but I keep going back. Amidst all the Grindr bs that the app is infamous for, I've come to the realization that sometimes it's just the best place and perhaps the only option to meet people. I guess it just requires patience and going through a lot of weird conversations but you eventually find what you're looking for.
