Yep, I’ve found it really comes down to setting the right intentions up front, and being selective in who you play with. My goal was never to be on Grindr forever, but that’s where I had to go to meet fun kinky trans people in my area.
Really? Maybe I’m just weird about intimacy or something but my shortest relationship that wasn’t a literal joke was like 3 years, most being 4. If people are frequently under that then I wonder why they’re diving into relationships they don’t have high confidence in… Do people count grindr hookups as relationship?.. I guess I’ve never been one for dating so…
No, I don’t count hookups as relationships, especially not long term relationships. But when they turn into significantly more than that, I do. I don’t need to defend my relationships though.
My definition is relationships I’ve been in for a good while that I intend to stay in. Why the personal attacks though? Seems pretty rude for no reason.
You’d be surprised… I currently have two LTRs that started as Grindr hookups…
Same here! Found a couple really great people on Grindr I’m happily still with a few years later. Met a bandmate there too, lol

How old are you? Or is your definition of an “LTR” like 3 years?
i think most people would agree that 3 years is a long term relationship

I was married for 3 years. Felt like a thousand tho. How is a grind hookup equivalent in any way to a 3y relationship?
