In the early days of using Grindr, I was just chilling with a guy after a hook up when he said: “I knew you would be a good one.“

“What do you mean?“ I asked.

“Well, you were really direct.” He explained. “The longer you spend setting up a meeting, the more you talk about it, the less worthwhile it ends up being.”

In the years since, I have found this to be true more often than not. As long as your profile explains what you’re after, and you have a few decent photos, all you really need to do is agree a time and a place (and what you’re “into”). Sure, you can have a chat and some banter with someone if you click, but when you are just horny and want to fuck, the shorter the conversation, the better it will be.

Do you agree? Do you have any other red flags/green lights that you find useful?
