Deranged Grindr Syndrome 

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.

Deranged Grindr Syndrome (DGS) is like when this guy with no pics wrote to me demanding that I share my private photo album with him, and then he bombed me with 15 pics of his gaping hole, and he got mad and called me rude when I didn't respond. Major DGS.
