Deranged Grindr Syndrome (or DGS) is a psychiatric condition affecting an unknown number of gay men who use Grindr for sexual purposes. People with DGS may exhibit a wide variety of antisocial or psychotic symptoms including:

- Ghost-facing: Attempting to engage in chat with other users without having any pics of themselves - Hole-bombing: Sending unsolicited images of their gaping holes to complete strangers

- Pic-collecting: Requesting images from other people when they haven’t shared any pics of themselves

- Wounded ego: Impaired ability to cope with rejection, such as demanding an explanation for why a complete stranger is not attracted to them - Silent treatment: Engaging in extensive chat with another user and indicating an interest in meeting up for sex, and then going silent and never responding again

- Ghost-meeting (different from ghost-facing): making an actual plan with someone from the app to meet in person, exchanging location details and setting a specific time, and then ghosting the person with no warning or explanation

- Stalking: tracking another user’s online presence and bombarding them with messages each time they come online

If you or someone you love suffers from DGS, help is available. Speak to a mental health professional.
