Do you think relationships formed on / founded from these type apps (Scuff / Grindr ect) can actually work? Have just read different takes & angles on such areas on SameSame & Watching YouTube Series:- The Horizon... Got me thinking... If the right guy came along, It could be worth a shot, see where it lead, as the old saying: nothing ventured, nothing gained...

Over to the members, discuss!!! ???
 
Well I feel that it could work depending on the right person. Not everyone is lucky enough to have the chance to find their partner/date material in real life especially if their social circle are really limited or small.
 
sure they can. anytime you meet someone new, theres a chance for a relationship, regardless where you meet them.
 
Meet my first boyfriend ( going on 7 months so far) on Jack'd. So yes they can work :-)
 
Absolutely. Now most relationships do end at some point, but I've seen countless gay couples meet via Grindr, Craigslist, Adam4adam, Scruff, OkCupid, Boyahoy to name a few
 
Same as pilotguy121a, I met my first boyfriend on Jack'd and we are still together. The only thing with those apps (that I've personally found conflicting) is knowing that your boyfriend is still on it. I deleted my account after a few weeks of meeting him. But he still has his for some reason. :mad:

Ask him to remove it. If he doesn't...that should raise a red flag for you.

Not necessarily. Many guys use those apps just for communication. I have been in two relationships since getting Grindr, and I didn't delete it for either of them. It was never a cause of problems. And if the other guy isn't secure in himself enough to trust me, he will find a reason, Grindr or no.
 
Both me and my boyfriend have Jack'd and I still have Scruff (he doesn't). I do chat with guys occasionally and have a few people internationally who are pretty cool to chat with. He knows I have Scruff and he is fine with it.
 
The important thing is meeting no matter how. If the chemistry is right a relationship will develop.
 
Having grindr or jack'd while the other doesn't, often creates issues. 95% oft he users on those apps are either looking for sex or are open to having sex. And for many, seeing a lot of hot guys that are willing to have sex with you is a temptation they don't need.

But to the OP, yes you can find relationships on these things. You can find a relationship anywhere.
 
Guys are very insecure creatures. In the old days they would covet and hide their little black book of phone numbers. Nowadays they hold on to grinder apps. It's a security blanket for them so they know if you leave them they'll still have something to fall back on. For some, it could be a bargaining chip. Are you going to pick a fight knowing he could replace you in seconds? And yes, there are those who do use it to cheat on the side. Still others are so insecure that JUST you telling them they're hot isn't enough and they have to base their self worth and egos on how many flirt hits they get. It's like their ego barometer.

You know he has the app... the real reason is WHY?
 
I think it's funny when they refer to this stuff as "dating" apps. Yeah, dating. That's what we're doing. :roll:

I did however meet my best friend on craigslist. It wasn't a sex ad though...
 
It helps you meet people but it is also a liability once you start dating someone. Who deletes whose account first?

Most dating opportunities fail.
 
Interestingly, I have never had that problem. I never used Grindr STRICTLY for one thing or another, so once I'm with someone, I simply stop using it for sexual/dating purposes, and only chat with people I'm already friends with. Nobody has been jealous of me for that, and I don't see the need to delete them just because you are with someone.
 
sure, it works.
however, if youre the kind of person who turns up your nose at people looking for casual sex, youre gonna be turning up your nose a lot. if youre the kind of person that thinks guys looking for casual sex are automatically disqualified from relationships, the pickings are going to be slim. i think it works better for people who dont draw a thick red line between casual sex and more serious romantic relationships.
 
It all depends on the individuals involved. They both have to be on the same page.

One of my relationships was founded from Grindr. It lasted about six months. We didn't delete our profiles right away, but I wasn't using mine. If I did use Grindr, I was just looking through profiles out of boredom with no intention beyond that. He, however, used it to cheat on me a month into our relationship. And it was all downhill from there. We were constantly double-checking each other and accusing each other of being on this app. And I'll admit that towards the end, I was using it to cheat on him as a measure of "revenge".

I think it's usually in the best interest of the relationship for both parties to remove the app once they get together. It just makes sense to me. What purpose does it serve to you if you've entered a closed, committed relationship?

Back to what I said in the beginning of this post though, both individuals need to be on the same page if Grindr is going to stick around. My current boyfriend didn't even know what it was until I brought it up. We now have a joint profile and we use it to hook up with guys together. We have an agreement not to download it on our phones (iPad instead), and we only use it when we're together. I fully trust him and I'm sure he fully trusts me. Until I'm given a reason to think otherwise, it's a pretty nice setup.
