Why do men search for gym buddies on Grindr? An investigation
Grindr has both defined itself by and come to define the language of queer men. One of the most recent trends to be seen across people's profiles is the rise of the hunt for ‘gym buddies’. Louis Staples went in search of whether the quote marks were warranted or not.
Downloading Grindr – then deleting it, before re-downloading it, only to delete it again – has become a modern rite of route for queer men. The hook-up app revolutionised digital dating and sex when it arrived in 2009, inspiring the likes of Tinder and the digitised, swipe-heavy dating world of today. Grindr changed gay customs forever too: it created a visual map that proved that gay and bi men are literally everywhere (sometimes just feet away!). The app rapidly became the most widespread gay app in the world and, by 2014, it had seven million users worldwide. It’s been referenced in many TV shows and films too, from Glee to How to Get Away With Murder, The Real Housewives and, perhaps most fittingly, Trainwreck.
So many discussions about gay culture end up circling back to Grindr, from body image to sexual racism, “chemsex” and bottom-shaming. On the app,

Tales of a gay man Soccer Player Slut
During my sophomore year hoe phase, a lot of crazy times happened. This one was probably one of my highest 3 faves tho.I met Evan in psych that year. We were twin together for a organization project early on and he and I would meet regularly to serve on it. Once the end of the semester came, we finished the project, and also became decent friends. Evan (19) was my year and played soccer for our school. He was attractive lean and toned with blonde hair and cerulean eyes, just taller than me. While we were working on the plan together that first semester, I’d see him operational out in the gym a few times. We’d say hi and perform our own thing.

These were the guys that would stand at the sink and furiously brush their teeth, hair, or back, and the ensuing movements would cause them to "swing" uncontrollably. To make matters worse, the two I seem to remember the most would always make some "Woah - Cold!" sound when the goods would bump the cold sink.<br><br>Hmmm...no wonder I work out at home. </div>
