How else are you supposed to get laid? I don't get this comment.
By gauging the situation and, where appropriate, behaving in a slightly playful, attentive and flirtatious manner towards anyone that catches your fancy (not limited to bar patrons btw.)
The whole point to Grindr is that you can meet so many people online. It's not about replacing flirting, which you're suggesting. People flirt on Grindr -- don't worry. I think you need some experience in how the hook up scene works to really understand it....
