I didn't realize that he was a regular fixture on the forum. Seems like a total lunatic. Someone had the wherewithal to point out that he was whining about someone being condescending to him, even though 90% of the thread is him being condescending to people that were reasonable enough to say "Hey, maybe you over-reacted".
Yeah, if this thread had been about a thirtysomething married hetero dude trying to bang a 20-year-old on Tinder, it would have absolutely been locked and had the OP banned. What's bizarre is his insistence that he's trying to make friends on Grindr, rather than just outright admit he's looking for extramarital flings.
I think the amusing part is that the college dude probably just went back to his friends and said something like, "Yeah, this creepy old dude blew me up on Grindr, but then he started talking about watching cartoons and ghosted me for no reason." NothingLoud imagines that he's taught this guy a lesson, but chances are that the undergraduate he was trying to fuck has little-to-no-idea what happened, and will just completely shrug it off as some old perv being an unpredictable spaz.
