18 Grindr Hookups Gone Hilariously Wrong

It’s never been more difficult to find normal, no-strings-attached casual sex, and no one knows this better than the gay people on Grindr. And while, yes, the majority of dating and hookup apps will never be normal, there’s a certain point where exchanges go from being “weird,” to edging into uncanny valley territory. For instance, one Grindr user was looking for a casual hookup and wound up in a conversation with someone attempting to catfish him with his own pictures. Meanwhile, another guy got catfished by a woman who was having trouble finding a boyfriend. 

Whatever the case, these Redditors have shared the stories of horny missions they’ve had to abort — whether it was because of confusion about a dog, a mortician kink or a drag dress-up session that turned into a sprint.
