Genuine question, is Grindr worth it for a college student? Or are there better alternatives 🤔. For hookups or relationships (M18)

I met my boyfriend of almost 3 years now on Grindr, it is not as much about the apps and more about you just making sure you stay careful and that you always trust your gut if you think somebody might be a little sketchy

It’s really not as bad as the other two are saying but it’s not amazing. I ended up meeting my first boyfriend there but it’s better to meet actual people in queer spaces. I prefer using sniffies for hookups because everyone is more up front with what they’re looking for (funnily enough met another boyfriend on there) so I feel like my time isn’t wasted as often

overall grindr honestly wasn’t that bad from my experience, most people were refreshingly straightforward with their feelings/what they wanted, and for the people that weren’t or didn’t want what i wanted (or just flat out refused to send a pic of their face or wtv), ik they just weren’t worth my time, and they’re not worth yours either
