I'm probably wrong about this but it just looks like he cheated on her with a man and is making up dumb excuses as to why it wasn't his fault.

My trans friends tell me that way of thinking is how they get so many dates from sexually repressed religious republicans and why Grinder always crashes when a right wing rally is held.

Know thyself jaegz69, they say it's one of the hardest things a person can do, best of luck.

I've met some different people in my journeys here and while I'm not sure id actually go through with it, when you get attention you have to consider if you would...

Its only bad if you lie to yourself. If you are a dude fucking someone that YOU consider a dude, regardless of how they consider themselves you might be gayer than you think

At 63 I'm confident in my sexuality, maybe thought about that in the 70's, years ago but I don't remember.

I find it all easier to understand when I think of someone's sex of being male or female as part of basic biology and gender to be on a sliding scale, a part of psychology and having nothing to do with biology.

It makes it easier for me to see peoples sexual motivations even if I don't truly understand them. Some guys like to suck dicks, some people think magic and the supernatural are real without there being any evidence, some people think Two Girls and One Cup is art.

I just know myself and don't think it's possible to truly understand other peoples motivations unless you are that person.

I'm a good bit younger just having turned 40 and it's such a strange position to be in having grown up being taught two kinds of people, two kinds of sexuality but still trying to be open minded, and feeling what you want to feel even if it has another meaning.

It feels like there are two camps. There are people that grew up with the beliefs weve had (and ignoring the parts of history where it was different) and refuse to see otherwise

And the crowd like here on Reddit that's just a new form of conservative and they don't even realize it. If you aren't down with everything and you don't not only accept and embrace every bit of it , we will destroy you. Having new and current beliefs doesn't make you not conservative, it just makes you a new kind afraid of new change because you've built yourself around what's current. Think of people 20 years ago and back. Gayness is mental illness. Then 10 years ago gay is ok but all these people thinking they are someone else need help. Its great that we have accepted more and more, but it's usually the new young people that accept the new things, then harden into unchanging ideas, meaning they atrophy as a mind and a person. Its a real thing to think we might have to wonder if machines are people. To say that now sounds like I'm just making shit up because they are machines but that day might be coming. More than likely it will be something new that we can't possibly see coming in 20 years and everyone here will say I'm ok with everything in 2025 but that was it! They think they live in the future but they in the embarrassing past of a future that has happened yet.

For instance I feel that the way you feel about a person's identity and the way they feel about themselves is EQUALLY important. But that pisses off both the old and the young people. So it's such a wild age group to be in halfway through with life

The joke is he thought Grindr was an app for those “grinding” to make money but found out it was an app for Gay dating. Instead of doing the predictable thing and deleting the app when in error, the joke misdirects to the premise/punchline to finding out he is gay.

The joke is that the guy was in one the grind. Yk, trying do make money. But he misstook Grindr for a something like LinkedIn, because he only looked at the apps name. It's classic absurdity since he did realised what Grindr really is, until He had Sex with another man.

It's from a YouTube channel called Entrapure. They make fun of the hustler/crypto bro image. In it one of their frequent jokes are gay references. So why wouldn't you want to grind and network with several other hot guys out there.

One of my favorits of his is when the main guy explains that he only hires bi guys for his business cause everyone else are losers. After all, who would just give up on half of the dating pool?

I am a bit puzzled myself. Ig the guy is closeted and tries to convince the so that he though that grinder was some sort of app for people who are looking for jobs in the stone polishing industry...?
Then he said he got fucked... so not sure...maybe he though that no idea. really.

It's actually kind of funny because a grinder is someone who works hard to earn money. Grindr is an app where gay dudes arrange to hook up... The joke being that she found the app Grindr on his phone and he's claiming he thought it was an app for grinders...

I think for this particular channel it goes a step further and offers a humorous commentary on the latent closeted homosexual energy within the members crypto bro/hustle community.

Grinding is slang for working hard or hustling. Grinder is a gay dating app. When his girlfriend confronts him for having gronde. His excuse is he thought grinder was an app for "hustlers" to get together and network.

Grindr is a gay dating app but being "on that grind" is a common phrase hustlers/entrepreneurs/broke people say when they're working to making money.

The video is obviously fake and a joke. The guy is saying he downloaded it because he's a hustler and thought it was used to network with other hustlers and then ended up getting "tricked" into sex. It's up to your interpretation if he's lying or if he genuinely fell into a trap because he's dumb (which a lot of self proclaimed "hustlers" are)

Brian here,

Yes, Grindr is a dating/hookup app. This video though is a parody of midwest emo song intros, and that is why it's funny. See, classic example: https://youtube.com/shorts/SAQxwkLl8Fw?si=BWnsxW29mxgllsJR

Assuming the video is true and not just a skit. Grindr is like Tinder but for gay people. Also grinding/hustling is also a word use for working hard. And so he may think that grindr is for the person that work hard so he try and connect with more people. Getting the bag also mean making money.

There are 2.

  1. The guy thought Grindr (Tinder for gays) was for hustlers, as in aggressive go getters, about the grind to make money and shit.
  2. The guy got fucked in the ass. as in a "I get you may be confused, but why didn't you stop when you realised?" kind of joke.

Edit: there may be a 3rd one, he didn't deleted it so he enjoyed it?
