GAVIN ROACH [as told to Suz Tucker]:
For Gavin Roach Grindr was a revelation. However, like it usually tends to, the endless quest for instant gratification eventually steered into Addiction Territory. Confessions of a Grindr Addict is Gavin’s semi-autobiographical work inspired by his tumultuous relationship with the app that literally changed his life. In the one-man show he tries to answer the big existential question of modern times: Is the internet and social networking really making us less lonely? Gavin told us the story of how he became addicted to Grindr…
“I’m on Grindr all the time. Or at least I was. Using Grindr you get the opportunity to talk with people all the time and you’re not just stuck with yourself. If you’re lying awake at 2am there’s always someone to talk to. If you’re sitting at work bored you can jump on and just chat to someone about something light, something flirty – anything. So after a while it really did consume my world.”
“Part of the inspiration for the show is the fact that we’re all searching to connect with someone on a number of levels but on Grindr can blur the line because a lot of it’s appeal is that you can be very blunt and evolve into a purely physical connection.”
someone needs to tell this guy to man up. if he wants a proper relationship DONT GO LOOKING ON GRINDR. how fucking hard is that to understand? its obviously promoted as a hookup app. i actually have met two really good friends on there so it is possible.. you just have to avoid sleeping with every twat in your local vacinity, something which he apparently cant do. fuck he sounds like a whingey moron.
It’s useless if it keeps crashing and loses messages -___-
Grindr sucks. I deleted it ages ago. Useless app. Programmed my chimps. Only one worth bothering with is growlr.
LOL
There’s a reason an Anti Grindr site popped up called “DOUCHE BAGS OF GRINDR” But whatever. The only reason anybody joins those sites is because they are a Sex Addict, and once they’ve slept with anybody who is Stupid enough to have sex with them, they move on to another site, usually re-inventing themselves as “BI” or “STRAIGHT” so the same people who are on all those sites Don’t recognize them. Pathetic 🙁
douchebags of grindr is not an anti-grindr site, its about the twats that have self obsessed profile descriptions. and where the fuck do u get your facts mate, ppl dont join because they are sex addicts, most gay men just like sex! that doesnt make them an addict, and who the fuck reinvents themselves as bi or straight.. god ur a fuckwit dude. every post i read from you is just disparaging or ignorant.
