I want to give Grindr a try but I don't have a smartphone. Any suggestions for a second hand Android phone under $100? Grindr is the only thing I'll be using it for so it doesn't really matter I guess.

LG Optimus would be very cheap..

I got a Nexus for $150 from craigslist and the guy met me right at the sprint store so I didn't have to worry about a bad esn or anything. You should probably do the same if you're getting a used phone.

Would you say any cheap smartphone is fine to use Grindr? I might look at older obsolete phones too. What do I need to get internet access without wifi? 3G? I'm ashamed to admit I'm clueless about this stuff.

Well, I've never used Grindr but its an ios and android app, right? So any Android phone from the last few years should be fine. You should probably get a smartphone anyway.. you'll end up using it for a lot. Definitely go for the LG Optimus, its not a great phone but it should run most any android app fine and its cheap.

Yeah, any cheap Android smartphone is good for all those dating apps, including Grindr. They aren't really processor- or memory- heavy, especially if you're not gonna use the phone for anything else.

And yes, 3G should be enough. There isn't really much data to transfer there, unless you want to view every photo people upload there (most of them are chest or dick photos anyway).
 
Thanks. I've checked out the LG Optimus but they go for more than €130 second hand which is too much. I'm not going to use it for more than that, I don't need to be distracted all the time and I like to keep it that way.

Hmmm... They probably have different models for Europe. Any Android phone should be ok as long as its not from 2008 or something.
 
So if I consistently oscillate between liking this guy and totally forgetting about him, that probably means I don't care very much and should just leave him alone, right? I'm only somewhat familiar with the extremes of like/indifference.

Hows the sex?

How about being friends until you decide what you want?
 
Gay-GAF, I need fast advice!

We're sending out Christmas cards and my wife isn't sure how to address the one to her cousin. Her cousin is a lesbian and lives with her longtime partner and they have different last names. For heterosex couples we're just using "Mr. and Mrs. so-and-so."

My wife was going to put "Ms. Name1 and Ms. Name2," but she's scared of being offensive or something. If that the socially acceptable way, or is there something better?

Thanks!

EDIT I was wrong! This couple has children together. For other couples with children, we ate using "The so-and-so family."

wat do?

Ms and Ms is fine. No woman wants to referred to as Mr.
 
Why not give them a call? I'm sure they won't mind telling you which they prefer if you ask.

Personally, I'd prefer The so-and-so Family, if I had kids. If not, mr and mr would suit me just fine too, I think.

Edit: do they share a last name? If so, then Ms. and Ms. So-and-so would be fine, I imagine? If they have different last names then I'd just give em a call, honestly.
 

Just use their names. I dunno why you have to use Ms/Mrs/Miss. Unless you want to ask them later "do you prefer 'Ms/Mrs/Miss?'" I doubt they'll care if you just use their names for the address.
 
I guess it's just formal tradition. I think we're going to go with "The Name1-Name2 Family" (with Name1 being my wife's cousin) since they have children. That would be fine, yeah?
 
Well try it, if it sucks then you'll probably have forgetten.

I live in a pretty small city and we have a lot of the same friends and interests, so I think I'm just going to do the friend thing. He went to Thailand last year to go on a meditation retreat, and we both used to be into the whole go to raves and drop ecstasy thing, so it's not like we don't have things in common.
 
What's throwing us for a loop is my wife's cousin is the one who physically bore the children, so we're thinking her partner might be the "man" of the house... but then again, maybe they decided to do it the way they did for other reasons and shouldn't be classified according to traditional gender roles. We don't know them all that well. :-(

Ah well, the labels are printed lol. Thanks for the advice.

Uhhh unless she literally identifies as male-gendered...I don't..uhhh

I don't mean that! Haha. I was more referring to which name to list first. We went with my wife's cousin since they're related, but we think the couple might normally prefer it the other way around. In any case that would be one awkward phone call (especially to relatives we're not particularly close to), so hopefully they understand/don't care either way.

You are making this more of a thing than it is. :P

I'm pretty sure you fucked up. Lesbians are well known for shooting/slicing any sucker stupid enough to offend them, so you should probably say goodbye to your loved ones now. Before they arrive at your door with a chainsaw. Once you get on the wrong side of a lesbian, it's very difficult to get on their right side again. Maybe offer to go hunting with them (for other offending humans) or maybe bake them a cake?

Modern Family dealt with lesbians in a similar fashion :D

If they get offended, flat out tell them: "Sorry, we didn't really know how to address it. Lesson learned."

Though, really, I doubt they'll care. You say you aren't that close, so really it's no big deal.

Also that Ass Creed 3 ending:

Way to redeem my hours I wasted to find out the ending to your story, Ubisoft. :/
