Grindr is a dating platform that allows you to choose who you find hot or not in your area in the hopes that they’ll think you’re hot as well and you can both be friends. If you like someone’s profile picture, this means that you’re interested in them being friends with you. You can add or change your Grindr profile picture.
On your profile page, you can display things such as your picture, interests, name, social media handles, gender, the music you like, and age that will help the person know more about you.
When creating your Grindr profile, you’re first prompted to add pictures of yourself because this is what people will be making their initial judgments on.
Grindr also prompts you to connect to your social media account because they want other people to see a true representation of what you look like.
Grindr also encourages its users to add multiple pictures to help their Grindr score because having very few pictures isn’t good for other people viewing you. If you don’t feel like your Grindr pictures are up to scratch, Grindr makes it easy to change them.
