I agree there needs to be an outlet for people to say those things. I was chatting on the phone with a match from FB Dating and asked why she disappeared last year. She said a couple times she just got so disgusted with the men saying stuff (she wasn't explicit) she deleted the profile and left conversations hanging.
Sure, everyone knows sex is part of (or all of) what you want to find in dating apps, but there needs to be some filtering. Maybe DTF and LIKE need to be orthogonal options - either or both. And "like dirty talk" is a filter.
- mst 3y ago> Maybe DTF and LIKE need to be orthogonal options This is why I really liked the idea mentioned in the article where you swipe up to indicate like/date and down to indicate primarily sexual interest. I strongly suspect many humans would be better off with more clarity up front in such things.
