Hi @joizy, I am so sorry that you are having all of these problems with Grindr.  I am not a big fan of Grindr - as it has the most friction out of all the apps that I use and consequently I use it the least.  It is also the most expensive app when compared to the other apps that I use. When I lived in Italy for 13 years - May 1999 - Jan 2009 and then again from 2012 - 2016, my primary app to use to meet and connect with the local guys was PlanetRomeo.  On my phone, I installed the Romeo Uncut version which gives you expanded access to include the MB escorts.   I also used the popular me2.it site - as that was a home grown Italian created cruising / meetup site.  Unfortunately it died around year 2017.  But its successor Gay.it, https://www.gay.it/ , a gay forum, seems to still be popular.  Also, during the years that I lived in Rome, I organized many hookup events via the http://circolodelleseghe.it/  CDS site   which is unfortunately no longer operational. I used to organize some of the CDS events at the Il Diavolo Dentro Club in Rome - because the CDS parties that I organized became too big for my Rome apartment.  https://www.ildiavolodentroclub.com/  I see that this club is still operational in Rome and is still organizing its theme events:  https://www.ildiavolodentroclub.com/serate-ed-eventi Back when I lived in Rome they gave me Monday nights (a slow night for them) to organize my CDS (circle jerk) events.   Also, back in those years, https://gaydar.com/ was still semi popular. I also lived in Budapest, and similar to Italy, PlanetRomeo was my primary app that I used to hook up with the local Hungarians.  Similar to Italy, Hungary has its own locally created sites for in-country hookups, such as RosszLanyok at: https://m.rosszlanyok.hu/ RosszLanyok is primarily an escort hookup site for heterosexuals, but it also has a smaller gay/bi escort hookup functionality. If you use this site, enter into the section with the label = Fiúk - as that is the word in Hungarian for men.   @joizy, I took this opportunity to ask Grok what are the most popular apps to meet other guys and it produced the below list.  Unfortunately, it seems that since I left Italy in 2016 that Italy has shifted to Grindr - as Grok is saying that it is now the number 1 app used to meet other guys. I hope that this additional information will help you get the most of your remaining time in Italy.

After leaving Good Boy, my guy and I walked to Silom Edge. I wanted to karaoke at Karaoke Manekineko, a Japanese family friendly karaoke shop on the top floor. I wanted only a small room for karaoke because it was just me and my guy. We saw many trendily dressed young Thai girls and their boyfriends waiting outside. I went to the counter. All rooms occupied at moment. One hour wait for next available room. Should I put my name on waiting list? I looked at my guy and told him the situation. "Up to you," his standard reply.

Heard from Grindr again. They said my email address may have been pawned and this was all for my protection. I checked the link they provided and the email address I use for my account was pawned, in 2019, but Canva, a graphic design website. Has nothing to do with the current ban which was triggered by a bot that noticed I’d been signing in from multiple cities across northern Italy. Getting tired of waiting, I decided to try to create a new account on my iPad with an email address I have never used anywhere. Instantly banned. The issue is not my email address. It’s my devices. They have locked me out of creating a new account and accessing my paid subscription, all due to a sensitive bot that doesn’t know what it’s doing. Kafka never could have dreamed this scenario up. Is this our new world?

Now we know the answer to the question of how much it costs to make the sexual abuse of children palatable to "All Life Is Precious!" Republicans.   Lutnick donated $5 million to House Republicans weeks before Epstein testimony Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick made the hefty contribution four weeks before he appeared before the House Oversight Committee.
