Grindr Wants You To Refresh Your Summer Profile

Grindr Wants You To Refresh Your Summer Profile

Grindr officially wants you to bump up your online pussy and has declared it Grindr Profile Summer Cleaning season. On their blog, they are giving gay sass and proclaiming: "Now it’s summer. People are outside again. Wearing less. Messaging more. And your profile still says 'new here. You deserve better. And so do the people trying to tap you." In their words, if you want the D, you gotta refresh and change it up. It made us look at our own profile, hmmm, it is true, we haven't updated in a hot minute, even though we've said no to other guys who have had the same profile for a bit. Sigh. Let's dive into the suggestions directly from Grindr.

Pics

Grindr warns that blurry photos are no longer acceptable. Were they ever? And yes, many guys still refused to post a face pic in their profile, but the platform says your pics need to be updated ASAP and should reflect something of the season. No winter clothes, no snow day pics, no layered clothing, bring on the heat! Outdoor, full light, swimsuit, or cool shorts and a t-shirt, something that says fresh and hot. Also, limit the use of filters, we all know.

Tag It Up

There are many new tags Grindr has added to reflect our sexual revolution. Feet fetish, voyeurism, looking for right now, all of your tags should reflect where you are in your current state. Horny now? Tag it. Looking for summer romance or a new friend? Change those tags! Editing tags is easy and should be refreshed often so guys can match your tags and know exactly what mindset you are in. Don't be shy!

Bios

Your bios are your chance to get some attention other than your pics. The platform allows for 255 characters, so you can fill it out a bit. We love bios that are a bit sassy and funny. It shows personality. Or be bold. Say exactly what you are looking for, confidence and knowing how you want to hookup is sexy. Show a bit of who you are, and what kind of personality will be waiting for them when the door is opened. One-word bios just don't cut it anymore, no matter how muscled you are.

Above all of Grindr's summer tips, the biggest is to BE YOU, BE TRUE.

If your stats have changed (our bodies and age are in constant flux), then change them. Be honest. You don't want to be deceived, so you need to step up and do your part. Ten pounds extra is ten pounds extra, and when the clothes come off, they are gonna see...and most every time, they won't care. No one is perfect, so stop trying to be a version that you think someone wants. If you aren't looking for now, then don't say it. If you have just "looking for friends" in your profile and you are actually to be the town's cum dump on a Friday, that's not accurate advertising is it? The platform also encourages you to be very honest about your testing dates, and if you are really on Doxy and PrEP. Hooking up is fun, spreading STDs is not. There is someone out there for everyone, so being true to yourself is bound to find someone who will really be into you, making that spark even hotter. Don't be shy, be you.

Grindr says to start by changing just one thing to make things fresh. It will add a new bounce in your profile, and the new algorithms in place to match you up will change your interaction experience to find you the man of your dreams, or the man of your minute. It's summertime! Time to refresh.
