Grindr, and all of the other online gay hook-up sites, can be a scary, scary, dirty, scary place to spend your time. Alas, don't worry; I'm here to help! In this post, and more to come, I'm going to show you the tricks of the trade, and how to navigate all of the tight little nooks and crannies of the gay Internet.1. "VGL"
Captioning a picture of yourself with "very good looking" doesn't magically make
you very good looking.
2. "Masc musc only"
That stands for "masculine and muscular." Sorry boys, alliteration doesn't make it any less obnoxious.
3. "In shape only, no fatties"
Refusing to eat a burger, or repeatedly saying, "a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips," isn't very sexy.
4. "Only into white guys"
Do we really have to explain this one?
5. "No face pic, no reply"
Guaranteed to only be said on profiles... without a face pic.
