When Did Grindr Become A Prostitution App?

How the hell would I know?! I don’t do Grindr.

I was just about to post something about this cause today I got asked if I’m generous 3 times. No lie.

Can’t lie, almost coughed up the $200 for this hot blonde boy from CT that just moved here to NYC and is using the app as a way to make extra cash. Then I remembered the app isn’t meant for prostitution.

Nothing gets my dick hard like convincing a blond college freshman to let me munch his taint for a couple hundred bucks. You have to be able to spot the poor ones though. Doesn’t work for middle class and above.

This cutie almost got me to pay today lmao. I ended up saying fuck it.

It’s called capitalism, OP.

Well, prostitution is illegal in the majority of capitalist United States, comrade, r5.

Has this increased or migrated to Grindr because rentboy was shut down?

Craigslist was also shut down.

OP IS AN ELDAGAY DADDY THAT ANGRILY WRITES "NOT GENEROUS DON'T ASK" ON HIS PROFILE. HE SHOULD KNOW BOYS HAVE BEEN WANTING TO BE KEPT BY WEALTHY OLDER MEN SINCE FOREVER

Uh, no r9. But thanks for outing yourself as a whore.

I can I still pick up trade at the Townhouse?

R10 It's not that grindr has become a prostitution app, it's that mediocre cynical men like you are only hit on by prostitutes.

R8 is correct. It's either find and take over another site or hit the streets like the good ole days. Guess desperation will dictate where they land but curious to see how bad it gets when the economy goes south!!

r12, I've looked at profiles... it's on tons of them and men have had to point out that they aren't generous. I then googled it and people are complaining about it.

I quit grinder earlier this year, but I’ve barely saw anybody on there who said they were looking for generous. And I’m only looking for guys that want generous guys, but I can’t find them.

R14 Yeah, the ugly old farts on the app all write "NOT GENEROUS DON'T ASK" because some proactive twink thinks the man's going to pay for his college semester or take him shopping with his lifelong accumulated wealth. It's been happening FOREVER, long before grindr.

When you're actually in demand you don't even notice. Uncomfortable truths.

Long may that wonderful phenomenon continue r9 !!

And of course you have the daddies on the app that take photos of themselves on their Air Emirates flights, posing next to their lamborghinis, in $2000 trousers writing that they are looking for this kind of arrangement with a younger man. They know what they're doing.

The hookers target the poor old pensioners and these types as well, though. Sad.

I'm assuming you think the "sugar daddy" type of situation is whoring, but that's what a lot of the "generous" stuff is about.

I know a teen on grindr who doesn’t have a pic but gets picked up and hit on all day on Grindr by older gentleman simply cause his name is “TEENAGE DREAM”

Some straight out offer him money right away without even have seen him simply cause he’s young. (He’s 18)

Some will ask how old and when he says 18 they get mad cause they were hoping for younger. True story.

Really? Hoping for younger?

R20 he gets it all the time and showed me a few times how most make sure he’s 18, but you’ll get some weirdos that want “YOUNG” and when he asks how young they always say “YOUNGER THAN YOU”. He said one guy told him straight out that his boyfriend was 12 and he has videos of him fucking him. I told him why didn’t he report him and he said cause he deleted his profile fast. A few days later the same guy hit him up with a new profile and asked how old and while conversing he realized it was that same perv. This time the perv sent him pics of him fucking his 12 year old on the app. The 18 year old just blocked him cause he didn’t want those images on his phone at all.

That’s here in NYC. Lots of pervs on the low here. Don’t be fooled.

Is the generous thing new? What weird terminology. Is this a drag term?

R19/R21: Did your friend tell you how old the older guy was?

R23 no but he saw pics and it was a grown man that looked 30s. White guy with big blue eyes. Skinny. And a creep.

The 12/13 year old was Latino.

I'd rather just jerk off and pass out, no worries of STDs and some twink stealing my shit/killing me.

Just remember that every time you use it, you're giving your money to anti-gay authoritarians.

PROSTITUTION WHORES!!!

They use the word “generous” because it suggests (and maybe in some cases actually means) they are not asking to paid directly for sex... but rather taken out for dinner, on trips, having their rent paid etc.

After a while it becomes like one big incestuous swarm ball....all the guys on Grindr and other apps- and the guys looking, have all done each other. And then- wonder why their dick and gaping ass pussy is on fire a week later.

R28 I clicked on a profile of an older man I found attractive and didn't have an agenda about at all. He looked active, outdoorsy, flannelly, not too old.. just my type. His profile read, "Not generous, get a job." Turned back around. Really unattractive and declasse to have such a chip on your shoulder.

R30 I don’t see the issue. He’s probably sick of guys asking.

And I know someone that told a young guy to get a job too.

I’m not sure what “level” of prostitution is illegal... if you’re not actually handing someone cash are you technically not paying for sex? Does “generous” make the solicitation indirect enough that Grindr doesn’t have a legal issue?

You can say you are generous and then not follow through. Or, do they ask for the dinner, trip, clothing or whatever before they will have sex?

R33, of course you put a pre-approval up to 200 Euros on their credit card in advance to lock in their spirit of giving.

In my experience, Grindr doesn’t immediately flag the word “generous” or other indirect euphemisms for prostitution on your profile. They of course DO flag “massage” and any other number of epithets, swear words, etc in profiles.

They will use the language in your profile as supporting evidence if you get reported for solicitation, however. When I was looking to buy some quick twink ass in NYC, my (fake, blank business-only) account was suspended and their admin sent me a detailed message, referencing the language in my profile bio.

Why are gay men such whores?

Because we (I at least) worship youth and virility. When I want to interact with those attributes, I want it to be efficient and without concern. Sexy twink sluts fit the bill.

I'm generous of spirit.

Agree with r37

If you insist on dating people younger and better looking than yourself you're going to end up paying for it.

don't they use the downward triangle sign to indicate someone for hire in the US that they do in the UK? makes it much easier than speaking in code.

I have an eldersister in Barcelona who lives quite comfortably with a stable of generou$ married gentleman callers.

Here's an idea: respond yes I'm generous but not for whores

When I joined it

OP is funny.

It's because Grindr are cracking down on profile with the $$$$s and 💎💎💎 signs.

Hookers are having to use text like gen or generous.

Gen is hard to decipher as I thought it meant they were looking for someone genuine not generous.

As soon as Craigslist Personals section was shut down I noticed an influx of tranny whores on Grindr. They used to 🌹 emojis meaning whoredom. I began a campaign of reporting them to the Grindr administrator and 🌹 emoji, the requests for people to Venmo them, the PayPal accounts have disappeared. The attractive gay male whores are on RentMen.com.

I’m so happy I’m only interested in guys my own age. This perpetual chase of the cum fountain of youth sounds exhausting and deeming.

As long as everyone gets what they want, who cares? Better to be honest about your expectations and avoid hurt feelings and resentment.

I don’t like seeing trannies ugly faces r49. It really kills the vibe.
