Grindr (etc.) Code

[Guest]

Hey Gents,

I’m wondering what codes or emoji people are successfully using to show they’re available for arrangements? I just tried adding roses in my headline and Grindr vetoed it. Kinda silly. I haven’t been blocked by the app in a long time, go figure, even when guys threatened to report me after telling them “I’m only interested in generous gents, tbh”. But the guidelines for what you can put in a profile seem more strict now.

You're correct, you can't use roses anymore in the headline, at least not the emoji rose. I have, however, seen guys use a "picture/photo" of a small rose in their Profile photo. I think someone on here stated that he has used an ATM emoji though, having been banned once before, that seems a bit risky. I think your "About Me" description is more impt than your headline. I usually add something like "I'm and older Gent interested in a quick hookup" and "can be helpful" or "I realize that your time is worth something" or something to that effect. I usually get several offers per day like "you gen?" or "how helpful are you?" When I first starting using Grindr a year ago I got banned for being too explicit in trying to get a "date." However, if you have a paid subscription and get banned you can use another email address and then use the "Restore Purchase" to get going again. I have had some pretty good luck with connecting with some hot guys, and I have been especially successful in larger cities like Chicago and Fort Lauderdale.

Nothing worse then some douchebag you're talking to on Grindr and after a few messages back and forth they finally come out with the "you generous". Reported followed by block.

I have also used the ATM and bank emoji before. Once I made my profile name something like GENeral John. I don't know if I ever was reported, but I was never banned or reprimanded.

How much do you compensate for their time? Current escort rates? 250+? How does the negotiation go?

I thought it was the business guys who put the roses in their screen names, not the clients. And I may be wrong, but from the way I read @Ziya's post, he isn't a client.

You are correct my dear man

It depends on where you are. I usually ask what they think is fair and then they turnaround and ask what I think is fair. In a mid size city I’ll say 150 and they will be okay with it or counter 200. In a place like Fort Lauderdale or Chicago I start at 200 and they will accept or counter at 250. So basically about 50 to 100 under the rate of a pro. I wouldn’t go full pro rate since they aren’t reviewed anywhere, so it’s more of a chance. I always give them extra if its good enough that I want to meet again. I’ll also cover any Uber fares on top of that.

 

I am very cautious when meeting this way, and while that has meant fewer meets, they have nearly all resulted in multiple visits with very hot guys.

Thanks for sharing. very Informative.

 

 

Do you send them your pics before meeting? With pro guys I never send pics. Wondering how it is with amateur guys that you compensate for their time.

Surprisingly they ask for one less than half of the time. I don’t send until I know they’re really interested, and I’ve almost always had them send a face pic first. I always use one that I don’t use anywhere else.

I've been regularly meeting up with a 24 year old for the past year after finding him on Grindr. He checks all my boxes and each session with him is stellar. I'm in the Boston area where the going rate for a quality escort is $300/hour, which is what I give him.

I thought most of the guys hiring from Grindr do it to save a few bucks or at least that’s what they brag about it on here. Thank you for your honest post. Does he escort to other men or just you?

Same but in DC for me.

I'd hate to see this 24 year old's monthly gas bills.

I have seen some of the boys that are looking for a little generosity include a crown emoji in their tagline. ?

[Blade9]

In the area I am currently staying, people just list “gen” in their profile headline. Not a great deal of subtlety presented. I don’t know how much play they actually get.

A crown?! Lol that seems so bratty, I could never

[MikeBiDude]

A crown?! Lol that seems so bratty, I could never

So I’d try terms like “helpful”, “open minded”, “respect mature”, etc. sometimes less is more? Be discreet and careful and avoid getting reported ?

Unfortunately there's no emoji as hot as your profile's pic!

 

Also try searching areas outside your neighborhood, folks might think it's a neighbor trying to see if they're for hire or looking to pay in a hookups app where folks usually fuck for free (pardon my French). You don't eat where you S%#&*^T

Mature?

 

What makes you think guys hiring from Grindr are mature, some might be young guys out of shape or offering $ to someone clearly out of their league.

Thanks! I’m glad you like it! ?? ...the best part though is between the cheeks...

 

And yes good point, I’ve found many younger generation gents via Grindr and Tinder and social media eager to try the hobby for the first (or second or so) time. It’s great opportunity for connection when approached the tight way.

[Guest]

the right* way.... but I suppose “the tight way” is applicable too lol

[MikeBiDude]

Be careful with your profile to avoid getting reported. There are some who feel Grindr isn’t an appropriate platform for hiring and will report you. I do report underaged Profiles on Grindr....but otherwise it’s laissez-faire, live and let live.

You make one wish one were a studly top ?

Grindr fatigue is among us.

 

Many frequent posters started hiring when they were young because they craved someone "out of their league".
