Final thoughts?

Matt: I'm glad Sarah got to play around as a decent-looking Filipino boy on Grindr for a bit, although it turns out we didn't see eye-to-eye with her pick and I never met up with the chosen one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Sorry, no wedding bells this time.

Once, a guy on the app asked "what's your background?" When Sarah asked me if I was fully Pinoy, then told the guy, the guy replied, "That's hot." -1 for a possible fetish, +1 for being well-intentioned? It's just a weird world out there that's still worth exploring if you've got a 30 minutes to kill. But otherwise, I don't terribly miss Grindr. I'll stick to Twitter for now.

Sarah: Grindr is a lot about dicks, but if you dig past them there's real heart there. I feel like if I was a gay dude I would absolutely use it, if not for date-hunting then for at least for entertainment? It also made me feel silly for stressing out so much back when I was single and using dating apps. Why wait for the other person to message you? Who cares what you say? "The One" might be passing you by if you don't reach out.

I would say to any queer women out there hustling that dating app life: Take a page out of Grindr's book and be a little more aggressive and don't be afraid to go big! LIFE IS FRAGILE AND FLEETING, SEND NUDES.

No, maybe don't do that. But you should put yourself out there, because you just never know. And Grindr Guys? Maybe at least strike up a conversation before you send the dick pic — it's just good manners.
