#OccupyBlandr
Ok. So who doesn't like Grindr? I mean, we all talk shit and think it's retarded, but when push cums (ahem) to shove, it really does the trick if you're in a bind and you need some quick sex. It's great for the gay on the go, or the gay that finds shimself in a weird place and really needs another gay. On a recent trip to Pittsburgh (DO IT!!) I made loads (sorry) of friends just from Grind-ing!
Why a straight version of the app though?
I mean, don't the straights have it easy enough? Even in NYC, with a super high gay population (I was totally going to look up the %, but, whatever), the straights, unfortunately still rule the night. And the day. THEY ARE EVERYWHERE. Apparently, they still need help finding one another though. So thank the good gods for the people at Grindr, who finally threw the straight people a bone and came out with Blendr.
Blendr appears to be about the same thing as Grindr: GPS, profiles, chat, blah blah blah. The striking difference, that I noticed, however, is how fucking lame everyone's profiles are. I mean, I get it. You're on the lookout for Mr. Right, so you're profile pic is not going to be of your vag, or some weird headless torso with tits. But, isn't all of that the point of Grindr? It is cruisy and sleazy because the app is for cruising and being sleazy. So, way to go, straight people, for taking another genius gay invention and making it the most boring thing ever. You lose.
Here's an article in GQ (gag) about the new app!
Love,
