Wrong...maybe when it first started. But now Tinder is above all a way to siphon money from desperate men and an egobooster for average and above women who use it to feel like the hottest girl in the world from the surplus of guys slobbering over them and to spam their instagram for followers with no intention of dating let alone giving the goods. Its a fertile hunting ground for spammers and scammers preying on desperate men, and a virtue signaling platform for the developers who constantly advertise how woke and feminist they are and dump on the men who make up the lionshare of their revenue. Its also a complete waste of time for said majority of men since the sex ratio is completely skewed to sausagefest territory and women unless they are medusa levels of ugly get flooded with likes to the point where they can’t sift through all the garbage even if they wanted to.
Gotcha. A dude I knew about 5-6 years ago used it.
I’m glad I am wrong about it, which shows I’m out of the loop.
I like meeting chicks in co-ed sports, or friends of a friend...
So not to defend Tinder, but my son was working a few hours from home and came across a beautiful local girl on Tinder. They corresponded (text/email/phone) for 2 months before they met for a date.
They got married during the Pandemic (that planning was wild).. and are approaching their 2 year anniversary.
Women and men who don’t use Tinder as a booty call CAN find life partners through the app.
A lot of people work from home or don’t work in a traditional office environment. Dating apps CAN be used for good.
