Dude you're not alone, I too have been stupid enough where I risk my life for being a horny idiot. I'm glad you made this video and are warning others to stay safe. You're also very handsome by the way haha
Still trying to figure out why you even got out of the car at the rest area. Sounds like you were intrigued by the possibility of a bit of action at the rest stop. You don't meet a grindr hookup at a lonely secluded rest stop for God's sake.
It's amazing how no matter how smart a person is, we're all idiots when it comes to satisfying our whims inherited through evolution. Also, this guy is a great storyteller.
I recently found out that I was 1 of 2 survivors of a gay serial killer in New York when I was a teenage! That was well before Grindr ,cell phones or the internet. That's when victims were physically stalked and preyed. That was real game.
You are right to be scared. I would be terrified. I've had a guy follow me before but I was in a car and I drove to the police station. Damn man, yes, he could have stabbed you and left you bleeding in the moonlight and no one would have known about it until it was all over. Glad you safe. :)
@@philipdupont2308 I live in a civilised country where being armed means carrying a can of pepper spray. Not talking about third world countires like the US.
I heard that some guy met on Grindr and went to meet this guy who he was talking to so he did and then we’re a group of guys and they all jumped him. I’m only scared of getting jumped. And serial killers. I don’t care if it’s like one guy trying to like beat me up because I can handle myself but not being fair in a fight makes me sad :/
Only meet in busy place..as where I live there has been gay murders..usually in dark parks where guys cruised..to my horror I knew the victim who this night was just walking through after his work Even more horrific .When they caught the killers..I knew the. from a local bar..they had asked me to go back with them..thank God I didn t.. Please guys however much you like a guy..don't let youre heart lead you....and.make sure you don't leave yourself open..
Everyone, please keep telling these stories so they finally sink in. Hooking up with strangers is not safe and can bring so many awful surprises that you never considered. I heard of a guy who went to a hotel room because he thought that would be safe. But when he entered the hotel room three men were waiting for him, rather than one. The guy was able to exit quicky and safely left the hotel. But if the two additional men had been hiding in the bathroom instead, he likely would not have fared well with 3 men against him.
i met my boyfriend on grindr, but ya, do be careful and do not take unnecessary risks. Also don't have casual sex on that site, most people don't care about you on there and just want to get laid. It took me a while for me to find my boyfriend on grindr.
Yesterday i knew a boy in hornet because grindr is banned in turkey and i saw his photos, his photos were not my taste he was like a manequin, manequin face so weird and perfect, so i say lets meet in this park, he said to me that hes lazy so better in his appartment, i say ok because i was stupid, then i went there the apartment is infront of my school, and i said open the electric dor he said to me im in the 2 floor but down, i mean here in turkey the apartments have subterranean apartments i went the whole apartment building was so creepy like silent hill, and when i was walking the neighbors were looking at me in a creepy way, i just arrived in “their” (i don’t know if he was human) apartment and i just enter without watching his face and he closed the door and i saw him, he was the same guy but so creepy someone you wont want find in the night, and he was there he tryed to talk in a horny way but his voice was so bizarre so bizarre he also looked so ill like Sida, and he was getting close to me, so i said that im scared i wanna go, he said that calm, stay and i said i will go, he said come here let’s drink something so i said im going i opened the door and i scaped from the facility, the electric door didn’t open at first it was manual and i was tryint to open in the wrong way but at the end i went out of there after that i was so scared and almost crying because i felt that he wanted to make me bad thinks, i got lost in the city but at the end i realized that and i turned back and went to a famous street where you can find cafes and the biggest bookstore in turkey so i felt so happy again. The think is that i was almost crying because hes apparience was so creepy hes eyes were like alien eyes, hes nose was so small, and he looked like an ugly manequin, ok that was my story, never go and meet with someone you don’t like at 100%
The first thing i wanted to say is be safe always, firstly see others by face pic in different views to know if is the same and the meeting place must be an open area with people and not in dark places. You cant always be sure what can happen. He may be a deliquent or a scizopathic person. I advise you to be safe.
Before cell phones I had two of my best friends who I'd go out with all the time and even though we lived in a big city we knew most of the guys if it was just that we'd seen them multiple times. If one of us went home with anyone we didn't know, the other two would just walk out to the car with them and take a note of the license plate and ask for a phone number from the stranger. It wasn't fail proof by any means but at least it was something. We were fortunate and never had any real problems. Always even if it's just a text, let a friend know where you're going and tell them to text you back in like an hour to make certain things are okay.
when I was 16 I met someone on grindr and he sent me a picture and he looked nothing like it in person. so I said I was uncomfortable and didn't want to do it anymore. he grabbed my arm and tried making me touch him. I punched him and ran. one careful guys.
I had a very similar situation happen to me at a hotel the guy wouldn’t let me leave luckily I was strong enough to push him off and get the fuck out! Never again
There is no way I would have gotten out of my car. You are lucky. We would’ve met in a public place with lots of people-a restaurant, a bar. And yes, I would’ve needed to see a picture. That was so dangerous.
A REST AREA ? and your looking around........DON'T EVER DO THAT AGAIN you could have been....anyways your fine and that's all that matters. don't people have better ways to meet
Dustin, and anyone else considering trying stuff like this..... never, never, never... you get it. Hey, I'm a 55y.o. guy who's husband suddenly passed last summer. I've been lonely at times & have considered checking things out here n there, but, it can be dangerous no matter what your age is. There are a lot of nutjobs out there just waiting & looking for someone to do bad things to. Always meet in a public place where there are people, & maybe cameras... at least the first meeting. Unfortunately, this is the way the world is today. Best of luck! 3:)
A frightening, but necessary, cautionary tale for all of us. I'm so glad you had the presence of mind to just RUN & GET OUT! I'm sorry you went through this experience, but THANK YOU for posting this.
Only time I use Grindr is to see if there are gay people in restaurants or bars I'm at. I've hooked up with people I've met in those restaurants or bars after introducing myself, but I've never hooked up through the app. If that made any sense.
My 2 cents, some tips. Simply only meet in a public place where there are other people. Never meet if they did not send you a facepic (of course, duh...). If he does not look like the pic at all, walk away. If it does not feel good, tell him 'hey, it's always different when you meet in person. Don't be offended, you're a nice guy, but you're just not my type.'. When you go to someones house let one of your friends know where you're going and that you'll let him know if things are ok - also let your friend know you will respond to any messages or calls from him so that if he calls and there is no answer, to get help! But, these are just precautions. Most guys are ok of course. So also learn how to chill and be relaxed. Just be aware that not everyone in this world is a good guy even though most people are. - oh and one more thing you can do. I have a Samsung Gear S3 smartwatch. When I tab that m#therf#cker three times it goes into full alert mode, calls 911 and sends out my location, opens up the speaker and puts the volume down low. Nice to have that around.
I was talking to a guy a week ago, and he explicitly told me he would not show me a facepic. He even told me "Even if we hookup, I will not show you my face." Yah ….. super creepy.
@@Blake101247 Sorry iof that came over wrong. It was meant as a joke. If someone would tell me 'if we meet up I will not show you my face" my response would certainly be "guess what, we're not meeting up."
I love this guy 🤩 he's like "I gave him the once over and said no thank you " 😂😂, it kinda sucks for me though Dustin cause alot of guys think I'm using someone else photo that I can't possibly be me and when I snap them or VC with them there just shocked and them can't give there info out fast enough 😂 but it's annoying
Straight or Gay always meet for the first time at a public setting: coffee shop, restaurant , club, campus, bar, gym, etc., sorry this happened to you.
40 year old guy here sounds like something i would do, to kinda give a kinky mood random hook up at a rest stop. but seriously i wouldnt have done it on the first go with someone. were talking 3 or 4th time then roll play. and i don't meet anyone without a face picture.
That's a hilarious story! Love it! You're so giggly and laughy and smiley all the way through it that I guess I couldn't have been that bad. And innocent? You call yourself one of the innocents? Riiiight. And of course don't meet people from Grindr or tender, just from Instagram and Snapchat because those apps are waaaaaay safer and you couldn't possibly be scammed or deceived there. Dumb.
1st. All ways in in a public place and actual get to know each other date 1st no sex let fiends know where you are going and who you are going to meet dont meet any one with out a face pic
2 things: A good rule of thumb I like to follow is getting their last name and putting their full name on google. We were searching for a roommate 8 months ago, and when one of my friends put roomies name on google, he found a bunch of arrest records. Back to topic, as second precaution, I like to meet the person in a public place 1st
