It always weirds me out when Buzzfeed people get their own channel, and they are like, actual humans. I honestly love Chris's personality and smile. Keep up the good work Chris!
It’s such bullshit that they make you PAY for notifications. Come on Grindr, if every other app in the world of apps can give you notifications from the jump, so can you. 🙄 What a money sink.
hmmm maybe it was an Australian thing cause i know all my friends at the time also had free notifications and we still had the option to purchase Xtra to see more guys and the extra filters etc. This was right after they updated the UI to the same as Xtra and not that old orange themed UI the free version had i'm pretty sure. Also wasn't a new account.
I'm sitting here like "why am I watching this, I'm a straight girl" 😂 But I just love you too much. You're amazing, your videos never fail to cheer me up ♥️
Grindr is always updating to its newest version, but has anyone else noticed this? I paid or one month too, and then decided to top - but even after I stopped paying, I still kept getting the notifications. I don't know if that's because the newer version includes them (for free), or there was a bug in the system that allowed that feature to carry over even after you'd cancelled your subscription. Anyway, the notifications are one of the best parts definitely.
You didn't mention that read receipts! That's honestly what made me get it because know I know if I'm being left on read so I know if the guy is interested
So sorry for your experience. I didn't find any good man in the app either recently. I prefer keep with old good f buddies and contacts, even it won't go anywhere :) gay life is not it 😂
Wow...this video has a lot of comments! His first video I see and so just based on this video...yes I appreciate the glasses in a "retro" sort of way, but appreciated more his looks in the insert he did with the shotout and wearing no glasses. Most of all I appreciated the honesty and openness and thought maybe people were going to throw shade but he got good comments... although I do agree with someone who said something about his 10 mile rule. I used to live in Houston and the airport was 25 miles away, and I flew often, so that was my limit, which I thought for L.A. it would have to be a "minimum"....lol!
At the risk of sounding generic and what not, I find you adorable. This video is all kinds of yes. As Grindr stories go, if I were back home (in LA), I would want to message you if I saw you, but too damn shy to do that haha. By the way, are you a Virgo (asking as a Virgo)? Anyways I enjoyed this clip and will watching others. Cheers or whatever is hip to say these days. ;)
Grindr is great for traveling and you should never expect love to fall into place because it will happen in it's own time. Just 2 hookups in that month but you live in LA🤔
I feel you sis! Though when I'm on Grindr I sometimes get lucky and sweep the yard. But even then most guys you talk to will end up being flakes! It's all worth a midnight snacc though.
A Grindr membership is the last thing i would pay for, more about the same shit. If you don't have something good to offer there you're just wasting your time, and no, neither do love nor honesty count as good.
mate i hate to tell ya this the APP is more for hooking up rather than dating!!!! You probably wild have more chances of meeting potential partners by going out to bars \ house parties. Perhaps initiate conversaton.... all the best:)
Ah. So you're one of the people I mentioned in my previous video about Grindr messages translated. The type that feel compelled to teach me about Grindr like I'm that stupid.
Mate not at all.. you're not stupid... we simply need to explore all avenues to meet our potential partner. But we seem to all have the same experiences with Grindr.... we all need to get out there and mingle more:) I'm sure we're all bound to find the one in the right time:)
Grindr is a popular sex site mostly . People are there to hook up . I would put more time into dating and less time into hook ups. Dating is more time consuming
They need to implement read receipts. As it's nearly impossible to see if they have seen it and are not interested or haven't seen it at all. More people had ideas here www.reddit.com/r/grindr/comments/6pvvum/how_would_you_redesign_grindr/
That's pretty sucky lol I was considering giving it a try but if that's all it does than it so isn't worth it. And you're totally right, the features should be there from the get-go for a standard experience. If they wanted to make money from it, they should've instead, done something like limited amount of photos you can upload or something like that. I dunno, I just think it's shitty how they paywall basic features lol
Not worth it, the only good thing is ability to refine searches and more guys show up on the grid. The racism and bigotry on there was apalling so I left it (I like Asians and see no one likes them based on their profiles, but WHEN I messaged Asians I was ignored / blocked)! There's just too many fakes, weirdos, and hypocrites on there.
I think you could also stand up against grindr and the hook up culture or simply use your life and time for a better purpose, let's say... like be a role model for young gays!? or just anything but promoting this shit gays complain about grindr and their shit sex life but don't do anything against it. ( and no i don't mean working out everyday 3 times in the gym to impove your sex life)
He's so attractive... I don't understand how someone like him doesn't get dates on the reg... it makes me sad he has to resort to grindr to get something ... even though I do the same lol
If you're an Asian it's best if you do crossdressing. Asian men are not as popular among western gay community. I used to have my profile as a boy and I don't get many responses. Since I started crossdressing I couldn't keep up with the amount of people messaging me. It would be worth it if you're into that. If you're not then you shouldn't. If you're looking for love then you'll have to think about how they'll react to you without makeup. You would make an exotic women with makeup and a wig. You have nice thick lips 😋😋😂😂💖💖
Jacinda Lacroix Why try to be someone you are not tho? Just so you can get with “western men?” I mean if you are really into cross dressing, then good for you. But don’t try to change yourself to please others.
johnnyXXX I love crossdressing. I just never had the courage to. Now I have the excuse and the courage to do so, which is perfect. And I agree, you should never be who you are not. That's what I said in my initial comment. Only do it if you're into it. Also I don't just look for western men. I like all men but depends on the person.

I don't live in US. I don't use Grindr. I'm not gay. I'm not male. But I still watched this video. :)
and i thank you
HA! Nice!
but why?
thanks for sharing
same same lol
If you focus on his glasses his hands turn green
Jadoncé hello
Jadoncé underrated comment 😂😂
?
Most of the stuff on Grindr Xtra should be free
I agree

but the free grindr had notifications like 11 months ago when i had it last. Did they take them away?
free grindr has never had notifications
It used to have a free trial of Extra for a month for new accounts. I think they got rid of it when people started abusing it .
hmmm maybe it was an Australian thing cause i know all my friends at the time also had free notifications and we still had the option to purchase Xtra to see more guys and the extra filters etc. This was right after they updated the UI to the same as Xtra and not that old orange themed UI the free version had i'm pretty sure. Also wasn't a new account.
I've never used Grindr in my life, and honestly... to be honest... I'm super intimidated by it lol
Matthew Castillo don't do it. Save yourselffff
The first message I got was a pic of a guy's ass o_o
Ah.. lovely.
Matthew Castillo trust me, grindr can only raise your confidence level hahah
OrganicDinosaur I got a pic of a guy's bumhole... no hi no nothing.
I refuse to pay for Grindr just for notification
I'm sitting here like "why am I watching this, I'm a straight girl" 😂
But I just love you too much. You're amazing, your videos never fail to cheer me up ♥️
easy2335 please keep watching!! Haha
same here :)
Same. Lol you’re just super entertaining

i don’t use grindr but i appreciate this solid review
Pami Saul hello
Those glasses are so cute XD
Grindr is too expensive for the jerk guys you'll end up talking to. At least here in Houston
Boston too.
Gerardo Acevedo same in new jersey!!
Especially here in LA nothing but bullshit ass guys
the guy of my dreams dropped a lot of hints one night... I messaged him on Grindr after we got along so well, he deleted me!! JERK MUCH?
I was so shook when he said he wouldn’t meet up with someone who’s 10 miles away... like LA problems😂😭
That’d be amazing for me
Let me out
for REAL
That analogy with the airplane table was so on point
Alvin Kuang Thanks! I'm trying haha.
You didn't mention that read receipts! That's honestly what made me get it because know I know if I'm being left on read so I know if the guy is interested
Love your new glasses lol
Mario Pizarro they are non prescription lol. But thanks!!
I think the big thing about dating is driving/knowing how to drive and I don't know how to do
Love your Kawinji poster ❤️
...and Korrasami.
And Lapis. Good taste
I’ve always adored u!! so glad you did your own channel and I found it :)
Are these new glasses, Chris? They look so cute! :)
Nice review! I hated when Grindr time away notifications for free accounts. That was dumb.
I love your grindr stories !!!! I thought I was the only one having wierd experiences on grindr, but looks like we all go through the same shit 😅
I love those glasses! I'm gonna try grindr (again), but I feel like it will be equally as daunting in college as it was in illinois.
it will be. who knows tho it'll prob be better than LA
Welp, it's just as scary here in san diego.
Notifications is an Xtra feature?? I got notifications for like a day and never again after that, but I never paid anything.
So sorry for your experience. I didn't find any good man in the app either recently. I prefer keep with old good f buddies and contacts, even it won't go anywhere :) gay life is not it 😂
good lord dude, get coated lenses on those glasses, the reflections are killing me XD
"10 miles away is too far" *cries*

Lmaoo paying for Grindr doesn’t make the MEN better. So true my god
Oh my. Boy the glasses are cute but you look actually very good without glasses!
This was useful tbh! Thank you! 😍😍
Absolutely agree with your Grindr review!
Oddly enough I actually met my husband using extra 😂😂😂
Gadriel Izengar anomaly.
Yea. I've been told i a "One in a Zillion" case lmao. Not sure if there's a zillion men how like men but yea.
I met my husband on adam4adam. Bahahahaha
Why would it be odd? It’s a place for men who like men to meet men.
I would love to see you stream games on twitch. Let me know when you're streaming :)
At the risk of sounding generic and what not, I find you adorable. This video is all kinds of yes.

Just 2 hookups in that month but you live in LA🤔
hey i love your videos
Hey Chris, I want to thank you for your advice, I just downloaded life360
late comment but i love your glasses!
Where did you get your eyeglasses?
Drinking game: Take a shot every time he says "men"
At 1:59 do you mean you get notifications outside the app?! That's bs that you'd have to pay for that.
that's exactly what I'm saying
I feel you sis! Though when I'm on Grindr I sometimes get lucky and sweep the yard. But even then most guys you talk to will end up being flakes! It's all worth a midnight snacc though.
most relevant video I've seen maybe ever
The true struggle in finding satisfaction is either they live far and catfish profiles..🙄🙄
What kind of glasses are those
What is even more annoying is that notifications is free in some countries like the UK but in the US you have to paid
A Grindr membership is the last thing i would pay for, more about the same shit. If you don't have something good to offer there you're just wasting your time, and no, neither do love nor honesty count as good.
what's chris's twitch url??
diana cavendish onewingedwannabe!
are u wearing lenses on this video?
How i can cancel XTRA on Grinder please?
mate i hate to tell ya this the APP is more for hooking up rather than dating!!!! You probably wild have more chances of meeting potential partners by going out to bars \ house parties. Perhaps initiate conversaton.... all the best:)

Rick M lol you missed what he said so much.
What's your streaming name for twitch? So I can follow you.
Gadriel Izengar onewingedwannabe. Thanks!!
I just entered the 7 days free trial and I am curious about it
omg i kept tilting my screen because of the glare on your glasses
I got decline??? My card is showing unavailable it does that all the time??? Jaja
The only guys I meet on Grindr are guys passing near town. I near a major freeway.
Wait, wait, two people in the entire month in LA? Holy, shit, it must suck to be him.
Nice legend of Korra Wallpaper.
good job!
nicely done video*
So I still can't understand how they make us pay to search tops or bottoms...like wtf
Are u that guy from buzzfeed?
What age r u looking for
Grindr is a popular sex site mostly . People are there to hook up . I would put more time into dating and less time into hook ups. Dating is more time consuming

agreed but they will make it paid for too tho
10 miles is too far? Do you have a car
That's pretty sucky lol I was considering giving it a try but if that's all it does than it so isn't worth it. And you're totally right, the features should be there from the get-go for a standard experience.

Dadddy
This is over priced shite
Xtra is only good when u traveling. Then i would recommend getting it
so cute ur sex life should be super active
Chris! You changed you TH-cam name!
why do he keep saying that he had to pay to get notification ........I have notification and I'm not paying
I meet 10 guys in a month without use grindr extra
the Legend of Korra Background tho
Look at the camera, not the mini screen.
im so glad u dont have to pay for grindr notifications any more xD
Wtf? I get notifications on the free version??
What is your age range?
22-32.
oakpkdude he wants tops
I get notifications?? And i have Grindr for free??
oh yeah.. you never really think about the other end, if they have they also paid for it or not

KORRA AND ASAMI YASSSSS
love korra and asami in the back!
I did grindr i slept with many whites, middle Eastern, mix raced
I think Grindr is an awesome idea but it isn't for me,it would only make my anxiety worse more than ever.
I think you could also stand up against grindr and the hook up culture or simply use your life and time for a better purpose, let's say... like be a role model for young gays!? or just anything but promoting this shit
gays complain about grindr and their shit sex life but don't do anything against it.
( and no i don't mean working out everyday 3 times in the gym to impove your sex life)
dang I wish I could date Chris lol
Sor why couldn't you?
aeiou he’s a sissy bottom
I thought grindr was a gay sex app? Not really dating-
My coworker saw our boss, who is married, on grinder!! Awkward!!
I just want out
Lol, I don't use grindr anymore and I'm honestly having more sex because of it. Also you're cute af without glasses
2 people in a month?????? i know some people that meet 2 people in an hour lol
There's a lot racial preferences on Grindr
I used it to buy some weed lol
He's so attractive... I don't understand how someone like him doesn't get dates on the reg... it makes me sad he has to resort to grindr to get something ... even though I do the same lol
Wyatt Underwood he kind of isn't...
Over 10 miles is too much? I have to travel to the country nextdoor to find decent D 😂
I just use it because I'm transfopbic I like the trans women there so

You're not lying . You're sexy as hell. Asian men be looking cute crossdressed.
I can't concentrate with the video all I saw was Korra ans Asami
n = Number of guys that Chris has access to on Grindr
As n -> infinity, Chris's realization -> guys on Grindr are trash
ROOOOOOOOFLLLLLLLLLL
David Zhang The joke isn’t funny, but the fact that you are an asian talking about math makes this comment pure gold. Lol
I would have paid for a better haircut and a gym membership if I was you no shade
Fuck you asshole! Get your ugly azz out of here and leave him alone
