My thoughts as well. A few years ago I found myself single again after a 10-year relationship went sour. The current form of online dating hadn't existed the last time I was a potential user of said services, but my experiences line up pretty well with what you outlined. I used Tinder, OKCupid, and Bumble for the most part and matched up with people with a variety of results. My general approach was to seek out potential long term relationships but didn't mind "having a little fun with Ms. Wrong while looking for Ms. Right" as the saying goes. Many of these matches went nowhere as there wasn't mutual interest. A few ended up as short term things with maybe 1-3 dates and occasionally some intimate activity. One ended up as a longer term relationship that is ongoing a few years later. None of these were specifically "hookup" apps. Two out of the three "short-term with physical intimacy" relationships were started via OKCupid (commonly seen as dating-focused) rather than Tinder (seen as hookup-focused). Yet I still had a mix of "hookups" and longer term dating.
