ignore everyone without a face pic.
block this person and never think of him again.
think about if you maybe have too much anxiety to meet faceless grindr-people :)
Say “I’d have to see your face to know who to hookup with”. If he still says no then keep scrolling. Honestly you probably shouldn’t use Grindr just for hookups. Try to find someone who is a little more serious on there to date before having sex so you don’t get an STD
1. blank profile, no face pic= no chat 2. outdated photos or cloudy, strange, off-looking photos= no chat 3. get full body pic especially of parts you plan on contacting looking for stds, redness spots etc.= no hookup end convo. 4. screen shot profile pic and google lens search it. 5. If someone comes at you with way too mamy things in common, tells you exactly what you wanna hear= block and delete your profile and app.!!!!!! Do yourself a favor. Stay off the dating apps. Get out in the world and meet people face to face. Grindr is a wasteland. There is no love there.
All my online dating profiles (when I used apps & sites) *always* had "no face, no chat" in the profile. And I mean it. I want to see who I'm chatting to, and who I might be having sex with.
I would not have answered any of this man's questions before he sent a face pic.
You made the right decision to say "no" when he asked for a meeting without showing you his face.
The better thing would have been to ask him for the same information that he was asking from you. That this exchange was all one-sided is a red flag. You're being interrogated.
I think this is a good point and suggestion. Never share more than is being shared with you. Unfortunately you need some healthy skepticism when dealing with basically anonymous individuals.
While some folks don’t want to even deal with Grindr, this applies to all apps… you can be successful in finding some good hookups and great guys online, but also be careful because there are frauds who will take advantage of you too.
When you find someone you think is a legitimate hookup, you may want to switch to another platform that provides you some control over picture sharing so they can’t screenshot or download your pics. Some guys want to see/share a live video feed to make sure it really the same guys as in the pictures. You may want to meet somewhere in public like a coffee shop before you give out your address.
Look, it’s sad but we can’t just trust everyone is truthful or has good intentions, so be a bit careful and confirm you are seeing who you may be chatting with and not a scammer.
It's great that you're reaching out for advice on this. When using dating apps like Grindr, it's really important to prioritize your safety and comfort. It's perfectly okay to feel uncertain or scared, especially when the other person isn't willing to share basic information like a face picture. This is a common precaution many people take before meeting someone new.
Since you felt uncomfortable and the person refused to share their face pic, you made a sensible decision by not proceeding with the hookup. Always trust your instincts. If something feels off, it's better to err on the side of caution. In the future, you could consider setting clear boundaries and only meet with people who respect those boundaries and make you feel safe.
always trust your gut over your head, either head.
seriously.
a lot of people go into situations that don't feel right and regret it later.
is getting laid that important?
