They say love is a battlefield. So is trying to find a decent hookup on Grindr. And nobody understands this better than, well, anyone with a Grindr profile, but especially Twitter user @Snortmaiden.
The other day, @Snortmaiden took to social media to vent about how he couldn’t find a damn top.
“6ft 5 top on Grindr ignored my tap,” he lamented.

Almost immediately, he began receiving a flood of support from other Grindr users who could relate and a few taller tops willing to help out. The tweet ended up getting over 1,200 likes and dozens of comments.
How about we take this to the next level?

Here’s how people responded…

Here’s hoping @Snortmaiden eventually finds the top he’s looking for.

I’ve always found it’s best to simply ignore overtures from people who don’t interest me. But I’m wondering if there is a better way to handle it?
“I’m sorry, but you just don’t turn me on.”

Doesn’t matter what you’d say, if you don’t find everyone attractive you’re a monster.

When I was in the mix I learned that “ignore” is often the nicest thing you can do. If you reject them in a kindly way they may STILL react with anger, or juvenile “poor me” stuff, or something totally off the wall, and then you have to ignore them anyway. “Please find a therapist” doesn’t work either although it’s probably the proper advice in 100% of the cases.

I am SO confused.

I got ignored on Grindr when I had an account [cancelled a few years ago] because of my age. Yes, I was truthful about it. When I updated my profile to include my handicapped status [losing a leg], I literally got blocked. So sorry if I’m laughing at all this but PLEASE!
Now I get the same on Insta and Twitter but at least in those two I’m not there just to meet someone.

Why does this bottom need validation from faceless strangers? If he’s too weak to be rejected, maybe he’s too weak to be on Grindr? And what is his obsession with 6-5 guys? Can’t he get another top?

THIS!
Remember that people seek love and affection – be it from a top or bottom.

Seriously this is pathetic, people are dropping dead from a pandemic, the Ukraine and Russia crisis and this gets attention and sympathy? I really hate our “community” at times.
Heywood Jablowme
Without seeing his profile we don’t have enough info. All we know is the poor “victim” is a superficial nitwit, but he may have written some superficial nitwit stuff about himself. Or maybe he wrote a very detailed explanation of exactly how the sex act should go, and not every horny guy wants to take micromanaged stage direction like that. There’s no reason to assume the other guy is the superficial one! Grindr is superficial anyway and an “ignore” is sometimes the kindest thing.
Also it’s hard for me to take seriously a guy whose Twitter name is “@Snortmaiden” – does it refer to cocaine?
sfhairy
FFS, now we have to “tap” back when we’re not interested in someone. No.

Frankly I’m glad I never went down the Grindr path and set up an account. Life can be tough enough without that thrown in the mix.
ShiningSex
You mean grindr is not about sensitivity of a person’s feelings???? LOL. Seriously queerty? This dumb story??? Who cares? It’s grindr. A place to get f-d. It’s NOT a dating app. Go home girl.
Den
This has to be one of the silliest articles EVER in Queerty! And they even printed a few responses that were obviously sarcastic, with the sarcasm going over the editor’s heads.
Nobody is under any obligation to respond to a message on a sex site. It is nice if they say “Thanks, not interested” or something something similar, but all too often that invites abuse or unnecessary questions. If you’re thin skinned on-line “dating” is not for you!
MickeyMoose
How DARE YOU be the voice of reason in this bat shit crazy “discussion”? No, really, as I read down the list my head was spinning like Linda Blair’s, only faster, until I came to your post…and then I could breathe again. Who are all these ridiculous people incapable of living an offline life?
Aaron
As a non-story, this article could have been made ironic or even campy but no.
downtoearth
Maybe he looked at his Twitter profile and saw that its says: “Giving you the full f*ggot experience”. Always the ignorant ones complaining.
