Lots don't, plenty do. Especially more so as 20 somethings if my young co-workers in the tech field are any indication.

They're certainly not as crass about it though, sure. Which is where so many dudes are clueless.

Sounds like a lot of women are dealing with the wrong men. Not all of us are sex crazed douchebags.

That's what the creators of Tinder said: It's basically what you want to make of it.

Um, mine does. Actually it says: "Not here for hookups. For serious. I know, right?" Not that women put a priority on such things. Personally, I don't have any STIs or unwanted children and I don't want either. At 39, I'm way past the point or prioritizing getting off above finding a clean, trustworthy girlfriend/possible future wife to get off with.

I think male (moreover, peoples') minds are efficient, not depressing. I don't think you understand how hard it is to get a match on Tinder. It's a waste-of-time way to meet women because it so rarely works... so we don't waste our time on it. If the roles were reversed, and women got only 0.6% matches on average, I'd put money on a lot of women would be doing the same... at least the ones who really wanted to meet new people...

Personally, I don't mass right swipe anymore because the limit is way too low to make it worthwhile now. I'd say I swipe maybe 50% - 60% of profiles, and it's not just based on looks (I'm pretty open minded being hideous myself). I've passed on plenty of women I've found quite attractive because they're LDS, single moms, sound too conservative/"country" for me, or just sound outright insufferable in their respective profiles... oh yeah, and the "must be over 6' tall" women too. Still, I right swipe hundreds and get zero matches.

I personally don't "deal" with these men. They send me these messages (outside of Tinder). But this is why I really love Tinder. Only men I want to talk to can message me, and if those men write me about sex too (and they do), I unmatch with them.

EXACTLY. THIS. RIGHT. HERE!!!

If the creators initially thought it would be a Grindr for hetero people, they were mistaken. Straight women don't behave or have sex like gay men and are more often looking for serious relationships.

That's a (kinda offensive) broad-brush statement about straight woman and homosexual men.

People are individuals. Leave them to make their own choices.

I wish I lived in Atlanta. I'd totally swipe right on you. Actually, I'd swipe up for Super Like.
