Part two of this series can be read independently, although it briefly connects the dots on a relationship discussed in part one. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAuthor Lex, Esq. is an attorney and LGBTQ+ blogger. In the book, he revisits three of his early Grindr relationships in order to extract lessons and understand how dating apps had slowly ruined him. Far from dating tips, \u003ci\u003eThe Grid\u003c\/i\u003e pulls from Lex's personal mistakes to critically examine gay dating themes. Part two covers themes including: first experiences, PDA, bisexuality, reciprocation, rejection, racism, body and fem-shaming, coming out, friend zoning, age differences, blocking, nudes, social media's impact on relationships, the residual impacts of Grindr, and more. \u003ci\u003eThe Grid\u003c\/i\u003e pulls numerous lessons from these themes in an attempt to create a better informed and less soul-crushing gay dating experience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLex, Esq. and his blogs can be followed @theproblemgays on Instagram and www.theproblemgays.com.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lex Esq\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1705308708\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781705308707\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.37d","brand":"Lex Esq","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43941186207999,"sku":"9781705308707","price":7.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_9701e7d5-34ca-4459-8918-05a5d97ccf33.jpg?v=1681451424","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-grid-pt-2-lex-esq-9781705308707","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
