I personally never used Grindr - such apps didn't exist when I was back on the market - free, single and not in
hell...
... No I mean not
doomed to an eternity of same sex with the same person for ever and ever and ever and ever...
... No I mean "
marital bliss" - yeah - marital bliss.....
The grass is always
greener....
We had to meet people at places - we had to go out and network with people. These ancient customs included getting hobbies and joining physical groups to meet like minded individuals. We had to get in our horseless carriages and go. Mind this was back in the day when only doctors and drug dealers had 'bricks' (cell phones) so most of us had to rely on beepers or answering machines with our land lines. Primitive, I know.
Long distance relationships only happened when one of the people had to go away for their job. People didn't meet long distance and have to try to make a relationship work over an electronic medium. Back then it would have been a crazy notion to even try to meet that way and have a meaningful relationship. Now days you say 'That's idiotic' people frown at you like you are the village moron....
If you wanted to get laid you went to the bar, or the park (at night) or other local places which were really creepy and scary. There was no app for that. Actually there was no app for anything...
As for dealing with sexual frustration, there was the hand, Cold Showers and of course getting into the horseless carriage going and sitting in a bathroom stall in some place like an airport tapping your toe....

Attitude:
You are most likely too pushy, too needy, too _______________ (fill in the blank).
Stop looking for a sex partner. Instead start looking for a friend. Don't talk about having sex with a potential date. Instead discuss friendship building and do things that you would do, act like you would act, if you were interested in a person for merely a friendship type relationship. How can you expect to have a lover relationship with a person you can't be a friend with/to?
I suspect that you are a young Asian "boy" in search of a white man. Fine and well, but understand you are in the White World and you will need to tone down a few things and present other things more.
You are also dealing with a huge stereotyping issue, where Western culture has made some seriously difficult to break stereotypes about Asians:

While there are white guys into Asians (even exclusively) a lot of white guys stick with the culture they are used to - its a safety thing.
If you speak 'Engrish'
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engrish You are going to be setting yourself up for lots of disappointment. 'Engrish' tends to immediately bring stereotypical images to the mind of the hearer. A lot of those stereotypes are 'bad'
Places:
Forget meeting men on the internet.
It is idiotic.:tongue:
Do it the old fashion way, go out, meet people, make friends - lots of friends. Every man you meet does not have to be a sexual conquest, they can be your buddy, your pal, you fishing partner, your hunting partner, your go out and drink buddy.
It is called networking, were you meet people who will introduce you to other people who will, eventually introduce you to that 'Mr. Right'.
DO NOT be exclusive in the people you cultivate
friendships with. There are lots of interesting people in the world - gay, straight, bi/black, white, Asian, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. They will have lots of other interesting people in their lives who they will introduce to you. Trust me, the more interesting people in life tend to be far better lovers
.
Have a hobby or two or three? Find a social meeting group where people who share the same interest as you meet, discuss or even do that hobby. Physically meet - face to face, you know without the internet to hide behind.
Lets say you like to do French Cooking - take a class, learn more French Cooking - at the very least you will learn a few new things, at the most you might find another man there who is into French Cooking and who may actually be interested in you too.
Grindr is a meet up and fuck sort of App. However most people who are into that are pretty shallow, they are looking for a specific type to have sex with and are using the app to weed through lots of potential fuckees.
Grindr an interesting read:
