Infographic Reveals How Often We Lie On Hookup Apps (A Lot)

hookup-fakesA new infographic from the folks at GrabHim.net analyzes the lies us gays tell on hookup apps — from penis size to physical appearance — as well as our various mating habits.

Nearly 4,000 gay men, aged 18-65, responded to a survey we first told you about back in February. Of those, 83% admitted to sending dick pics — a statistic GrabHim seems “shocked” by. Meanwhile, taking a look-see at my inbox, I’m shocked how loosely 17% of people define “dick pic.”

The survey also revealed bias against HIV-positive men, with 57% of respondents indicating that they were “unlikely” or “highly unlikely” to initiate contact with a poz man. Perhaps due to this stigma, 10% of HIV-positive men don’t disclose their status until specifically asked, though 43% tend to state it in their profile.

30% of men don’t need a face pic to hook up, while 31% don’t need the truth — that’s the amount of men who admit to lying about their physical appearance. That would make the number of unsuccessful hookups understandable — 45% of guys who end up physically meeting don’t actually get down to sexy business.

Finally, proving that there is life after love — or at the very least, lust — 71% of users reported developing some sort of “sexual relationship” from a hookup app. GrabHim was also shocked by this statistic, considering all the “bail-outs” and lying. Ah, modern romance.
