Does Tinder catalyze any real life hookups at all? At best it's an awkward chat. Over here it's simply fake profiles (I'm a man, looking for a woman). Various creeps, scammers, "researchers" fishing for god knows what. The profiles are insolent - one profile photo no description, photo of a computer screen, "I'm lost, new in the city, show me around" descriptions. It's quite obvious that there is no woman behind the profile. The few "real" profiles are oftentimes connected with Instagram profile - coverage of the person's gym/professional activities, the profile is basically part of person's online brand/presence and in this case the real life hookup is not the goal either.
- thirdsun 9y agoIn my experience it definitely leads to dates, hookups and relationships. While there will be the occasional fake profile or someone who tries to boost their instagram account, it‘s rather rare in my area and easy to distinguish from users with actual dating intentions, regardless of how serious they are.
- chillacy 9y agoI've met plenty of couples who met on tinder, so it does for sure. If you're having a bunch of awkward chats, I dunno, look up some example chats on reddit and see if that's different than what you're doing or if you just perceive all chats as awkward.
- expertentipp 9y agoI hope women look up the chats on reddit as well and will know how to proceed!
