Grindr solves three problems:

1. Gay men want to fuck.

2. Someone close by.

3. NOW.

No one will successfully clone Grindr outside of the gay hookup space (nor will Grindr be successful with their non-gay-sex app) because there are no other potential applications with the same imprimatur, except sexual hookups in other scenes (i.e. plentyoffish, or justlunch).

Unless you're horny, proximity and timeliness simply do not matter so much, and any application outside that scene is simply a gimmick, unless you have an application truly unique and compelling.

Love your take on it. You do hit on some key points, Thanks for taking time out of your day to provide your feedback :)

The model equation is: "_NEED_ to do `X` with someone close by, sometime very close to now" solve for X. Sex is the most obvious, but there may be others.

Solve for X

Awesome. Will take that into consideration as well :)
