Tracy Clark-Flory reviews Blendr, which she calls "SO BORING":
Interestingly, though, it's straight female jealousy of gay male culture that inspired Grindr's founder, Joel Simkhai, to create Blendr in the first place: His female friends said they wanted access to a similar app. What he created, though, was an entirely different, and neutered, animal. In interviews, Simkhai has quaintly described Blendr as a way to meet someone who "speaks the same language or is also into cooking, or crafts." I guess that's great news for straight women looking for friends to share in their hobby of making macrame vibrator cozies, or hetero men looking for quality time with other sexually frustrated hetero men. Also in luck: people who want to meet up with total Internet strangers based on a shared interest in one of the generic categories provided (e.g., "dogs" or "nightlife"). But those expecting a sexual playground will be disappointed.
