If your Grindr endeavours are resulting in lots of high quality, mutually enjoyable and fulfilling real-life meets then this book is not for you.

However if your Grindr experience is more akin to frustration, exasperation and incomprehension, and you seem to attract nothing but time wasters, flakes, pic collectors and trolls, while your own initial messages never seem to get a response then this book definitely is for you.

‘Grindr Success’ analyses the whole Grindr process in blunt and devastating detail. In over sixty ruthless, plain speaking chapters you will discover:

• The reasons other Grindr users often indulge in unpleasant behaviour – and how you can minimise the negative effect it has on you.
• The importance of deciding exactly what you are looking for TODAY on Grindr – with advice to help you decide if you are not quite sure.
• The factors (both within and without your control) that will inhibit your Grindr success – and what you can do to overcome them.
• How to craft your profile to maximise the chances of attracting compatible guys – and what you can put in your profile to help those guys send you engaging messages of some substance.
• How to remove the time wasters, flakes, trolls and no/low prospect guys from your Grindr grid so that the guys with good potential have a chance to shine.
• How to send messages that will pique a guy’s interest in you – while at the same time discovering whether the two of you really do have successful ‘meet in the flesh’ possibilities.
• How to safeguard yourself when you do meet a guy, and how to ensure that the fulfilment and enjoyment you get from that meet (and possible sex) are maximised.
• When it is, and when it is not, permissible to specify on your profile the types of guys you are interested in. And when it is, how to do so sensitively so as not to alienate other guys while still making it clear what type of guy you hope to attract.
• How to guard yourself against Grindr ‘addiction’ and the other negative effects that the use of gay dating apps can have on your emotional and mental well-being.

The book also contains two interactive tools:

• The ‘Grindr Profile Roadworthiness Test’ with which you can test your own Grindr profile to see if it is crafted for maximum success.
• The ‘Grindr Cascade Corn Thresher’ through which you can run other guys’ profiles to decide (according to what you are looking for) whether they should be sent a message, passed by, or banned from your Grindr world by use of the block button!

Whether you are using Grindr to look for ‘Right Now’, Friends, Friends with Benefits or even a monogamous relationship, ‘Grindr Success’ will do exactly as its title declares – make you more successful on Grindr.
