Finding clients on Grindr?

[dfw2sfo]

A very good looking friend of mine goes on Grindr to hookup. Sometimes people will at first hint at paying him. Eventually they get more bold. Anyone here find clients on Grindr?

Iv got massage clients off grindr. I don't advertise it due too you can have your account deleted But iv mentioned it and had about a half a dozen clients.

Thats certainly an intersting route. I've never tried it.

I personally prefer to keep my work and private life separate. I find that this allows for healthier boundaries and helps me remember that when I am resting I am resting and when I am working I am working. I think in this line of work since we are on whenever our phone is on we have the tendency to forget that it is incredibly important to have private moments in which we can recharge and nurture ourselves, fulfilling our needs so that we can come to work energized, full and ready to share.

 

Also, I dislike the kind of clients who get off on "converting" non escorts. I find that kind of interaction disrespectful and odd; considering that there are many professionals who love their work it makes simply no sense at all to try to convince a normal guy to "sell himself out", but when I hear their offers it is clear to me that there is a reason: non-escorts have no idea of market prices and are offered ridiculously low amounts that professionals would never accept.

 

The same way I would never knock at a person's door to ask how much a dozen roses from their garden, I prefer to sell flowers only when I am at the flower shop.

 

It just works best for me.

I can understand that iv had some problems with some personal profiles. People don't always know how to separate a business profile with a personal one at times. iv had people try too view both as the same. what i'll take as a massage client isn't always the type id take in my personal life. In my business life there is no age limit, well 18 or older. in my business there is no race, age or body size or religious preference's But like most I do have preferences in my dating life. Iv had a couple of people not book after seeing a personal profile because they don't know how to separate the two lives

I opened grindr and it seems like the only way to access it is through a cell phone. What am I doing wrong?

Nothing. It is indeed a smart-phone based app (although it works on an Ipad as well).

 

The one upside is that this allows for GPS-based searching, which is a definite plus when you live in Chelsea so everybody sets his Manhunt account to your neighborhood while he jacks off in Hoboken. If Grindr says he's 100 feet away, he actually is. The downside is that it becomes a tool in Steve Jobs' war on porn, meaning any pic that's not of you in a nun's habit is banned, and your text had better only mention walks on the beach and rescuing stray puppy dogs. So fear not, you're not missing much.

 

Scruff is a much better app. It seems to market itself exclusively to bears and their admirers, which is unfortunate because it's much more functional than Grindr and I wish had a broader appeal.

 

There's also Jack'd, which I'd rate somewhere between the other two. It has a smaller user base but again better functionality than Grindr (a low bar, to be sure).

 

To the OP's question, I've met a few clients off Grindr when they've recognized my pic and I diverted the conversation elsewhere.

So I guess I have to load the app on my iPhone to use grindr?? Maybe I'll just stick to Manhunt.
