Grindr codes

[+ jeezopete]

I've been figuring out some of the codes on grindr profiles, the trees, the roses, the diamond, the "T", the flame. What about a profile that just shows the small photo, the green light, and the word "Ask"?

Is it indicating to ask about drugs, or possibly if they're available for "gen"? I'll probably ask what I want, just wanted to see if any of you had experience with this?

Thanks!

I can guess the diamond/T but what do the trees mean?

I’m pretty au courant, but I’ve no clue what all this is.

 

I can guess the diamond/T but what do the trees mean?

 

Marijuana, typically. The alternative, enjoying the outdoors and arboriculture/horticulture, would be expressed in writing without the aid of an emoji. Having a hobby of smoking marijuana may also be couched as “I like ‘greenery.’”

“Gen?” means “Are you generous (monetarily)?”

 

?, ?, the word “party,” and a capital “t” where it ought not to be (e.g., I like To have a good Time), all indicate a proclivity for crystal meth (street name “Tina”). (They can show up the middle of words, too.)

 

? — roses are used less often, but several times men have hit me up asking “How many roses?” In turn, guys who wish to be paid may also use them. It’s a means of solicitation.

 

??‍♂️ means that one lifts.

 

⬆️ means that they top.

 

⬇️ means that they bottom.

 

↕️???? all mean versatile.

 

? (or a similar emoji), means that they are hip and spiritual, or at least that they fancy themselves as such.

Some emojis...

The diamond emoji is used to refer to crystal meth and the snowflake symbol is used to attract the attention of people wanting to buy cocaine.

Some Grindr users feature the capital letter T in their profiles, which refers to the street name for meth, Tina.

 

I believe the tree and clover are weed...???☘️??

Snowman and eightball coke. ❄️☃️

 

“Unicorn” in the context of dating and hookups means a person willing to be the third member of a threesome with an established couple. ?

 

And roses and others represent payment. ???

And I guess there are some which are less subtle.

Yes — I forgot about the festive snow emojis in this context! Fun

 

Guys who escort or massage or indeed have any trade cannot advertise on Grindr; their account will immediately be permanently deleted if they solicit someone and that someone decides to inform on them, which renders necessary the “gen?” and related payment emojis if you wish to use the app to find clients. I’m fairly certain that this only imperils the accounts of the guys who advertise their services — not the ones of the people who wish to avail themselves of said services. If you are messaging someone in a client capacity, I think that typically the worst a person who doesn’t want to massage, escort, etc., will do is block you. Some guys write in their profiles “I do not want money so don’t ask” so as to preempt any offers.

If they do not specify "not a scort", one of two things is likely operating: they are hireable or they are too modest to insinuate they get repeated employment offers due to being hot.

 

Can you believe that when I travel and indicate "mature, generous, fit, love muscle physiques (sometimes adding the ATM and rose emoticons), have a thick wallet/billfold" I get inquiries about what that means!? How much more 'on the nose' can I be? I usually do not respond because they may be trying to snare me and report it. I do respond to those who reach out without the question 'what exactly are you suggesting?'

 

But these are in locations where providers tend to advertise with impunity, and the non-escort designation may be more frequent.

 

One time a hot-headed little asshole spontaneously suggested shooting me on sight, as if I were a pedophilic trafficker. He wouldn't have been able to catfish me for aggession entrapment if he wanted to. Better empty boiler-plate threats than Grindr HQ censure.

Only addition I can think of, is that I see the word cloudy often.

 

I assume its marijuana seeking... could be something else. Pergaps 420 no longer has meaning.

 

Whats missing are the emojis that realistically convey Grindr users' behavior or attributes.

 

Perhaps they could use a squirrel emoji, ora walnut, for "nutjob"

How about alternating eggplants and cameras for guys fascinated by and collecting dick-pics

Alternating clocks and trash cans would be appropriate for many.

Is there an emoji that could be auto-applied for the scam-bots? Or the "im deployed in Afghanistan, want love and LTR, and oh can you send money?"

[loremipsum]

? means “looking?” which means that they are seeking a hook-up

Npnc means “no pic no chat” which means you must have a photo on your profile or send one to them privately before they’ll engage in conversation with you

 

CD means cross-dresser

 

TS means trans

 

DL means on the down-low (closeted or curious guys)

 

Hmu means hit me up

 

Dom means dominant

 

Sub means submissive

 

AF means “as fuck” (often used in the context of “horny as fuck”)

 

PNP means “party and play” (doing meth together and having sex while on it)

Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin refer to the names of the four Houses in the Harry Potter series which are distinguished by certain personality/character traits and thus signal their qualities (or what they think are their qualities) to you

What does it mean when my Grindr flashes an orange 'Service Soon' light on my profile page?

@loremipsum - what house would you self-sort into? Maybe that is a question to be posed over cocktails?

It is absolutely a query that should be posed over cocktails...

? has come to indicate “vegan” somewhat universally, not just on Grindr
