I'm surprised they're charging women. Perhaps this just reveals my sexism. They obviously have the data, I guess it's impressive they're able to charge men and women the same price. I'd always put tinder in that category of hookup-ish bar that doesn't charge women cover.
- bazookajoes 12y agoMany people in tinder are using it for real dating, not just hookups. Many bios include "Not looking for a hookup".
- richardbrevig 12y agoMy personal experience with these types of apps is that what people post in their profile and what actually happens upon meeting are not highly correlated.
- protomyth 12y ago"Perhaps this just reveals my sexism" Not really, it just means you've come to the same conclusion as bars in the US have for years.
- graeme 12y agoI don't expect women to pay. The way Tinder work for most people is that men get few matches, and women have a stack of a few dozen to a few hundred potential matches waiting. When someone right swipes you, they go to the top of your stack, and you see them first. Most men swipe right on every profile. So most women match on almost 100% of the profiles they swipe right. As a consequence, men swipe a LOT more than women, and it will be mostly men who hit the usage limits. (I haven't quite figured out the math, as every match is two ways. Nonetheless, it's significantly easier for women to get matches.)
