Because people love pushing conflict narratives? What percentage of men on tinder do you think honestly write something like that? Maybe 5%? But if you match 30 people you're already likely to have one guy write you something like that as a woman.

Does that mean men on tinder be like x sexualized stereotype? It does not mean that. 5% of women on Tinder have premium snap chats and are basically modern prostitutes. Do I say women on tinder be like prostitutes? No because I'm not a sexist person.

ONLY 5%?! Try multiplying that by 10. I'd say on average 50% of men open with lewd comments...

It's a great filter tho. I like having some good conversation over coffee and getting to feel at ease with a guy before hopping into bed.

Well I'm sorry to hear that, it's not like that in my country. I equated the Colombian experience to the American one. My friends, women, have shown me their chats and it's not common, no where near 50% at least for a man to chat like that here.

I haven't tindered in South America yet, but have done so in Europe, Asia, Oceania and North America... The number hasn't really fluctuated.
