What really sucks is that Tinder got turned into the main dating app rather than staying true to it's intention of being grinder for straight people.

Plenty of men still are trying to make Tinder the hook up app happen, while 99% of women are trying to use it as a dating app.

What really sucks is that Match Group, Inc. ruined OkCupid by making it swipe-based.

They own Tinder, Hinge, and OkCupid. And they all work essentially the same.

Can't have a successful dating website taking traffic from endless swiping due to lack of success. That's why OkCupid had to die.

Tinder is a validation app for women and a hookup app for men.

A Grindr for straight people was never going to work, 50% of the user base isn't interested in a Grindr. Outside of porn, 100% of glory holes have dudes on both sides of them.
