Tinder was invented for non attached hookups. That's it. If you are on tinder, that is what you are looking for. I don't care what excuses you make, there is no other purpose and if you pretend that you're special, you're an idiot. But if you want real relationships, with real people, you should not be on tinder. The two perspectives are not cohesive. You cannot have free sex with tons of people and still expect to find a worthwhile relationship on the side, that's greedy as fuck an will never work in anyone's greedy favor.

It's kind of weird that an app where people make decisions based on just pictures of people (well, there are profiles, but they're a click away), would be considered a "dating" app. The "dating" label is the equivalent to the "for tobacco use only" sign on the pipe display at the hippy store in the mall. Saying that you go on Tinder to date is like saying you go to Hooters for the food.
