Grindr is for everything. yoBlow is for oral. Here is what that difference changes in practice: who you see, how fast it happens, and how much explaining you do.
Grindr is one of the biggest gay apps around and it earned that. If you want anything at all, from a date to a hookup to new friends in a new city, it is where a lot of people are. This post is not about replacing it. It is about the one night a week when you know exactly what you want, and what you want is oral.
Open Grindr with oral on your mind and you are looking at a grid where only some of the guys are thinking the same thing, and you cannot tell which ones. So you open profiles, read "into" fields written for a general audience, send an opener, wait, and the answer is often "not really my thing." Multiply that by a few guys and the evening is gone. The app did nothing wrong. It simply was not built for this.
Everyone on yoBlow signed up for one reason, and the first thing on every profile is his lane: Giver, Receiver, or Both. That single word removes the whole first conversation. You are not asking "are you into this?" because the answer is already on the card.
Three things follow from that:
Private chat with photos, favorites, who viewed you, block and report, a photo required before anyone can message. Distances are approximate and your pin is always pushed away from your real location, on purpose, so nobody finds your door.
Numbers. Grindr has been around since 2009 and is everywhere. yoBlow is new, and it is still filling in, city by city. The people who join early are the ones everyone else sees first. That is the honest trade: a smaller grid where everyone wants what you want, versus a huge grid where you have to hunt.
Keep both. Use Grindr when you want anything. Open yoBlow when you want oral and do not want to explain yourself. That is exactly what it was built for.
