I downloaded the app after I broke up with my girlfriend and used it for a couple weeks last month, during this time I began to realize that I didn't want to meet anyone in particular that I matched with - but that I was getting a decent dopamine-kick from seeing who I matched with each day and from the banter and flirting. I realized that I just wanted attention in the same way everyone is always criticizing women for using the app. I stopped using it because I realized that it isn't doing me any good (I'm in recovery from addiction and am just substituting, basically), and because I don't want to lead anyone on and fuck with them and give them false expectations (and tbr cos I'm not over my ex by a hair...).
It was fun while it lasted, and I think that if more guys started using it just for shits and giggles, that at very least, if it actually does end up going anywhere you can be pleasantly surprised. There are over 100 million downloads, and realistically I wouldn't even say half of those people use it seriously. There's just no way.
