Because the product makes no sense. Why would I use a swipe system focused on people's appearance to find new friends? The whole meet someone random and chat on an app is already super awkward for dating, but there's motivation to get over it for obvious reasons, and in that context at least attractiveness is a rational dimension to consider. At least something like Meetup pre-selects for fairly specific interests.

I've actually formed a number of long-lasting friendships via dating apps.

  Did you go into it expecting to be friends though?

    I went into them hoping to meet and hang out with interesting people, and wasn't too bothered with whether it would end up purely friendly or veer romantic.
