Just reading these threads, it sounds like Blued is a pretty fucked up site, e.g. pictures that disappear after a blink of an eye, erroneous messages blocking users, etc.
Why do you guys continue using them???
Same in Thailand. I note there has been talk of a 5 second screen shot. I find it is even less than that. I also find it impossible to use screensave to keep a pic. But as I suggested before, if you like someone almost certainly they will transfer to WeChat if they are in China or another app if outside. Then pics can be exchanged as normal.
Ultimately it depends on where the boys are.
In Pattaya there are boys on Planet Romeo, Grindr, Horned, Blued and other apps. They go where the customers are. So there's not need at all to even think about opening Blued.
Go to somewhere like Myanmar and Blued is probably the most popular app, followed by Grindr. So if things are a little slow on Grindr, one is forced to use Blued, as that's where the boys are. Some of them were exceptionally good as well.
So I use Blued when forced to by the local market and I can't think of any other reason to use it.
