If that had all been left to develop, I think gay society would have matured and blossomed and, possibly, men could have learnt how to date and be in relationships. But with the explosion of Gaydar and, later, Grindr, it allowed men to be overtaken by their hormones and reduce their interactions with each other to purely sexual.
In the end, they shunned the physical community as they found quicker routes to the sex they wanted without even leaving the house. The growth of our community was stunted. At least in , we have the technology to help us learn — if we want to. In Central London you would see at least 50 guys within metres.
The guys out in those small towns would make an effort to chat, meet and get to know the guys nearby as there is clearly a limited number of opportunities.

So they sit there alone, rejecting other men who could be a great match. If the other guy is not in the same street or neighbourhood?

Good luck with that. Tindr also gives the impression that there is a never ending line of potential matches. But how many of those profiles are real or will swipe right on you? How many will unmatch you or go silent after exchanging a few words? How many are actually in another country but just checking out your city for fun?

Most importantly, how many are single, looking for a relationship and actively ready to meet new men to date as opposed to chatting because they are bored? I have found that you can waste hours, even days on Tindr and end up never meeting anyone. WHY would you live out there? Three years ago, I made the decision to leave Central London and move out to shock horror zone 5. I lost contact with most of my gay friends — they refused to come out to see me and I gave up making to effort to come into the centre to see them, any friendship has to be two-way.
The Age of Grindr. The other reason I decided to leave London was that just being gay in the city, let alone looking for a partner, seemed to have become joyless. Despite huge improvements throughout the UK gay visibility, adoption rights and gay marriage , the age of Grindr heralded in a lonely, sex crazed existence for gays in big cities. The idea of getting to know someone or falling in love was totally alien. Some of the older guys may have become jaded and cold after many disappointments, but the younger guys were entering the arena adopting this same coldness.
There was nowhere to meet guys who wanted to date — so many bars and clubs had closed, the old ways of chatting someone up in a club were no longer valid, guys no longer approached each other or had the social skills to start a conversation with an attractive stranger. The art of flirting and eye contact was dead. If a group of guys went out to a club, they would stay in their group and not mix; all too scared to approach anyone. On the other hand, casual sex became much easier to get with all the gay apps. Would you like to meet up? The Old Manor Set as my local. Click here for more information.
