While most people are posting Spotify raps and Reddit recaps, TikTok creator Joshua Fox (@jshfx) went in a different direction. Instead of sharing stats about his music and online activity, he decided to highlight his year with Grindr.
A bold and honest look at dating
Fox’s “Grindr Wrapped” review breaks down his dating life over the past 12 months. He documented everything from how many men he met, how often he learned their names before meeting them, and even how he felt afterwards. This year he met a total of 84 men. While that may sound like a lot, Fox pointed out that it’s actually 163% less than last year.
calculate numbers
According to Fox’s own charts, he spent 55% of his time at the top. They also found that only 13% of respondents asked for their partner’s name. He explained that most of the encounters occurred near his home, with a small number occurring during visits to the United States.
emotional aftermath
Not all data is lighthearted. Fox admitted that the most common emotions experienced after these relationships were “shame” and “regret.” These honest confessions resonated with viewers. Many praised the video as humorous, eye-opening, and painfully relatable.
Viewer reaction and Grindr reaction
The video quickly went viral, garnering over 2.6 million views in just two days. Some viewers promised to listen without judgment. Some people teased him, saying he was “listening and making decisions.” Even Grindr’s official account praised the creativity, saying the presentation was “very good.”
Beyond statistics: The path to healing
Fox’s project is more than just a fun year-end wrap-up. He created the program as part of an effort to be transparent about his struggles following divorce. In a subsequent video, he announced his upcoming book, “What You Into?” The book details his journey through hookup culture and his attempts to get over a heartbreak.
find meaning in madness
After her husband left, Fox wrote letters to deal with and understand her feelings. The result is a story about seeking approval through casual sex and feeling trapped in a toxic cycle. Many people identify with these struggles, but rarely talk about them. By sharing his personal data, Fox hopes to spark conversation and help others realize they are not alone.
