> One of the problems with Tinder is its nebulous ethos. That's a "feature". It makes it mainstream enough for people to be there without being embarrassed or ashamed. Then people can turn it into more of a dating thing or a hookup thing as they prefer. Few people would want to publicly create a profile on "just-here-strictly-for-hookups.com". That's also why a huge percentage of profiles, especially female ones, insist so strongly that they are not there for hookups. It's a facade and a bit of virtue signalling ("I'm not a slut like those other girls!").
