I love Tinder etc. It’s great that I can go to London, Berlin, or indeed Peterborough and arrange a “date”.
There does seem to be some conflict as to how the sexes see the app though. Generally speaking: men see it as a hookup app, whereas women see it more as a dating app.
In my experience, about 50% of the girls on it fall into this category and start firing off questions straight away about your job etc as they’re looking to settle down into the mortgage/marriage/kids thing. These get binned obvs…
Then you’ve got about 40% who are usually hot but even when you match with them, it doesn’t seem to go anywhere. My theory is that these are just validation seekers. Maybe even have a boyfriend, but just like the attention/ego boost.
The remaining 10% is the gold. The chilled out girls who are happy to meet up and have a good time without it feeling like a job interview. It’s a numbers game.
Would love to hear a female perspective on it. Anyone?
Things that make me swipe left:
A man in the main photo.
Skydiving/tough mudder/travelling photo – No one cares.
No body pic
Group photo – unlikely to be the hot one, cba to find out.
Snapchat filters. Well, they’re all at it now. So most of them.
That stupid lopsided pose they’re all suddenly doing.
