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.
