> It's not a really a problem though because people can indicate for themselves in their profiles, either explicitly or implicitly, what type of relationship they are looking for; it can be different things for different people. In my anecdotal experience (which means feel free take with a handful of salt), it never really worked out that way. I've gone on dates via Tinder where a profile explicitly stated "no hookups" or something to that effect that did, indeed, turn into hookups. Also, and this is the more obvious thing, I think, is that a dating platform designed to not require you to actually read a profile before deciding if you're interested isn't going to be the ideal place for stating "preferences". Hence, my anecdotal experience.
