I'm 19 and gay myself. Recently began exploring. Downloaded grindr a year ago because I was young and dumb and it was the most popular app. In the span of one year, I have met all kinds of people and developed character and also a clear idea of the things that I like and don't like. I have also installed and reinstalled grindr, bumble and hinge at least 10 times now. Why? Everyone on wanted sex. Because even the "looking for long-term" people wanted sex. Why have we normalized hookups? Why are people not monogamous anymore? Do people really enjoy their random 2 kaudi ka sex and blocking each other everywhere? Why can't anyone go on a normal date without contemplating a hookup? Even partnered men talk about cheating.
I can't imagine bragging about my bodycount. I can't imagine bragging about "how I fucked someone" to someone you just met, especially on a date. I can't imagine talking about ped0philia so casually. The fact that they're actually doing shit like this and talking about it so casually is disgusting. I've been on a few dates and I rejected all. Why? Cuz even after meeting 100s of people, they still aren't sure what they're looking for. Or they only talk about their fucked up exes or their 124297th hookup story (which I didn't ask for). But guess what their bio is- "Looking for long term only". And these aren't kids, they're like 23-26 year olds. People my age aren't looking for something long term. The worst thing I've heard from someone who I asked out is that he has "madonna whore syndrome". I didn't even know this shit existed.
