When one gets messages from boys on Grindr that form a bingo pattern, e.g. x, cross, straight, L-shaped or what not.

A chronic Grindr user whose self-worth and spare time solely depend on the app and its horrid community; daily usage often exceeds 3 hours

A "community" on facebook (sad) of really...really pathetic, like hard to look at pathetic, privileged, aging slacktivists with savior complexes using peoples real life struggles as ammo in order to take each other down a peg? For the purpose of ethical superiority? Was modded by pseudo "muscle gays" and "instagays" and people who claimed to "cyberbully" themselves into mod positions at first then later...anyone with a keyboard. The original group was zucced in dec of 2020 because they couldn't stop calling one another "faggots" in some hollow reclamation attempt, alienating any real progressive motives the group had at one time. Now it exists as a husk or shell of its former self muddled down to maybe 1/14th of its original members as a "thunderdome" where the remnants literally just attack each other and long for "better" times. A prime example of what not to do as activists or a community. They also seem to share each others nudes without consent from the original person so kinda rapey, too.
I want to go on a date with this guy, but I can see he's a member of Grindr Aesthetics so maybe I just won't.

A "tour de Grindr" is often used humorously or colloquially to describe a situation where someone actively explores or engages with multiple people on Grindr in a short period. It can imply a casual or fast-paced approach to dating, hookups, or socializing via the app, sometimes even across different locations in a city or while traveling.
Freshly single and feeling adventurous, Marco embarked on a tour de Grindr, hopping from one hookup to the next like it was a competitive sport.

Deranged Grindr Syndrome (or DGS) is a psychiatric condition affecting an unknown number of gay men who use Grindr for sexual purposes. People with DGS may exhibit a wide variety of antisocial or psychotic symptoms including:
- Ghost-facing: Attempting to engage in chat with other users without having any pics of themselves
- Hole-bombing: Sending unsolicited images of their gaping holes to complete strangers
- Pic-collecting: Requesting images from other people when they haven’t shared any pics of themselves
- Wounded ego: Impaired ability to cope with rejection, such as demanding an explanation for why a complete stranger is not attracted to them
- Silent treatment: Engaging in extensive chat with another user and indicating an interest in meeting up for sex, and then going silent and never responding again
- Ghost-meeting (different from ghost-facing): making an actual plan with someone from the app to meet in person, exchanging location details and setting a specific time, and then ghosting the person with no warning or explanation
- Stalking: tracking another user’s online presence and bombarding them with messages each time they come online
If you or someone you love suffers from DGS, help is available. Speak to a mental health professional.

Deranged Grindr Syndrome is like when some rando with no face pic hole-bombs you with 15 photos of their gaping anus and then demands that you unlock your private album.
