One my of straight colleagues introduced me to Grindr on last July/Aug. He found out about Grindr through his young brother who is gay.

Anyways he thought Grindr would be a good exposure for me to find gay friends as I just came out fully early this year. And who knows a boyfriend as well.

I was hesitant but eventually gave in. All my straight colleagues were excited to see Grindr.

I deleted Grindr from my Ipad and Ipod Touch few days later (Almost a week). My straight colleagues and I realized that Grindr functions mostly for hooking up and one night stand. Most guys on Grindr were not interested in anything further than sex.

I decided to rely on the traditional method. This method works for me before and after Grindr. I enjoy the traditional method to find and meet a guy as it is more adventurous, exciting and nerve wrecking. It's also easier to tell if a guy wants sex or a relationship through the old method. Besides it's a good way for me to brush up my social skill.

The only thing that these sites have done was provide me with sex partners and show me how shallow Gay men

Monogamous relationship is a rare breed in all sex orientations. But unfortunately somehow it looks more obvious in gay community. Some of my straight friends originally assumed that gay 'life' is only about one night stand/partying/hooking up. But I proved them wrong as I do not fit any of those 'lifestyles'.
