Grindr lookalike for Straights - is it a Goer?

The gays got it first - now iPhone are planning an app for straights too. First heard about Grindr on Top Gear when Stephen Fry was waxing lyrical. Grindr is an app for finding gays who are close by and up for it. Fair play to them, all out in the open so to speak.

But straights? Does a guy use the app to find girls gagging for it? Or do the girls? There lies the rub. Since when has there been an issue here? All young guys grab an easy lay and all girls know it. Quod erat demonstratus - or not.

See yourself sitting in Starbucks idly apping the guy on the next table - and he you! Smile, flirt? Nah - let's just nip behind the bins! Memories of a bus shelter come to mind. Ten years old and all he wanted was a quick kiss. How times change. Pine for the old days of long drawn-out lust.

I'm all for apps that make life easier. Or fun. Just don't fancy this one.
