    This is fake but that said…

    Meh, Tinder isn’t a dating app. It’s a hook up app. There are dating apps which are fine, but tinder is a hookup bar, you know the one, where the bar is empty by 12:30 am because everyone has found a friend for the night. Can you find a long term mate? Sure but odds are against you.

        Things like eHarmony, Match, etc. they generally have a lot more information about potential matches and there’s usually a back and forth over a period of time.

        I know several people that met spouses on them.I used them with some success.

        The friends that used Tinder the choice to swipe is 99% based on looks alone. And things usually move very fast.

        Not saying you can’t meet long term interest on Tinder or can’t have a hook up on others. But they have pretty defined goal differences and the people that use them also.

        Disclaimer: I’m a strong proponent of people being happy and doing right for them. I make no judgements.
