Used to be a hook up app. Then certain people had to ruin it. The term “not on here to hook up” ruined it
Tinder
- Thread starter isufrEEk
- Start date
I think it's still mostly hooking up, but some end up in relationships that way.
I think Bumble has expanded its business model specifically to look for friends...plutonic non sexual friends...and Tinder probably doesn't want to give up that space entirely. I don't use Bumble but I know people who have found people on there to go hiking/shopping/hang out and it's not remotely a date, not even with the m/f sex they are attracted to.

i was only on tinder for 2 things - boink randos and meet my soulmate and i dont believe in soulmates.
I read a study recently (can't find source) that had an astonishingly high percentage of the "female" users on these sites as bots. I mean it was something like 85% of the "active" user-base level. I don't doubt there are legit users and legit hookups or even relationships formed, but that appears to be the very small minority.
I haven't been in the dating game for 10 years now but it was like that back then. The only ones I had any luck on were the free sites. Match was a total scam, lots of fake profiles and bots messaging you, then completely dissappear when you decided to pay for the service. I assume most of the pay sites are still like that.
That documentary was something else. I vaguely remembered the data breach, but didn't pay attention to everything else at the time. It was eye opening.
This is wise as a Notre Dame "Play Like a Champion" sign.
Now there are sites to make friends? One thing to find a mate, but if you can’t make friends in every day life….. I don’t know.
