Two different kind of grids

Just forget Grindr, Blendr or any other geosocial flirting app, I’m sure you had a great time hooking up with total strangers but this kind of NSA fun is so over. 2011 was off to a great start for Grindr: in March, an Android version became available and it indeed brought many new faces to the grid. But what I thought would be a blessing was in fact a curse. Because let’s be real, Android users are not as hot as iPhone ones. From this moment on, my phone was populated with douchey guys I had no interest in. Another downside is inherent to its functionality. You usually want to hook up with people in your hood. But after a few months of intensive use, either you’ve visited (ok, or blocked) everybody in your block or you bought the Xtra version and are ready to go the extra mile (like literally) to get some bootie.

After a few weeks where the only guys coming up to me were into some severely weird stuff (scat anyone?), I decided that I could no longer deal with that shit (no pun intended). I went on the hunt for my next proscratination companion.

I never really cared for Words With Friends until the whole Alec Baldwin drama. He got kicked out of a plane for refusing to turn off his phone before placing a word in the game. A game that addictive had to be amazing.

I didn’t really realize right away the great potential of Words With Friends. At first you think it’s like Scrabble except you can play with your Facebook friends or with random strangers. But then you realize how much the random part matters here. Think of it as an intellectual version of Chatroulette, minus your face. You express your personality on the board. Sometimes you don’t even want to but it’s right there, sorry but I can’t spell anything but “horny”. I think I might be the only one to see a romantic side to WWF but I don’t really care. I’m having an intense relationship with Firewand53. I have no idea what he looks like, where he lives and I really hope 53 is not his birth year but he already told me “nice one!” and asked me twice for a rematch. Way more than a cold “you looking?” from Grindr.
