The interesting thing about tinder is it cuts through a lot of the supposed “matchmaking” of most online dating, and forces one to get to know someone the old fashioned way, by actually talking to them and exchanging information, rather than reading a profile.
Tinder got a reputation early on for being a “swipe right for sex now” app, but in reality, most people on it are hoping to find a long term relationship.
And, like a lot of online dating, there are quite a few people who are on it just to get some risk free ego stroke by attracting potential dates, but never really dating.
