I don't use it, but i think it's suited better to big cities than small - medium sized towns. My friend used it and said that the amount of women within our radius was poor. If you're living in a London, New York, L.A or cities with 800,000+ population, then it might well be more use to you.
I have come to the conclusion that 95% of women on Tinder are open to casual sex regardless of their situation, age or what they say initially.
Usually, they will say stuff like "I am looking for a relationship" but you have to be kind of stupid or naive to look for a serious relationship on a hook-up app, right?
The group that has surprised me the most is women in their 45-50's. I used to think women in that age group are mostly done with casual sex and FWB types of deals but that is not what I have encountered lately.
I guess, it would be easier for us men if women were upfront about what they want but maybe they hesitate because don't want to be labeled as easy women or sluts?
Whatever the case may be, I think Tinder provides a very interesting insight into society and women's psychology.
What is your opinion?
I've never used Tinder, but my opinion is that women in their 40s and 50s are much more likely to want something casual. They're not interested in having more kids, or maybe they never wanted any, but at that age you won't find as many women just starting out. If they're divorced, they're less likely than men to want to remarry. Older women are usually (or more often) done taking care of other people and just want to enjoy themselves for a change.
I do have a friend of a friend who met her husband on Tinder. It is like any other app, you get out what you put in. But there are way more people looking for hookups. On the up note, not many people waste time with messages before meeting. There is a little less artifice. I did meet a few good guys via Tinder. In a way it was nice to see if we have some common connections, I like that you could see if you have common Facebook friends.
I've never used it and sense I would be too old to do so, anyway, but that last sentence of yours would definitely put me off of it. I don't connect anything with my Facebook account. That's just no one's business unless they're actually on my friends list.

I mean... It's just another avenue to meet people and it's kind of fun. First dates from POF, OKC and Tinder yield the same results IMO.
I only use tinder now, it's more fun not knowing their life story and just causally meeting. I'm not the first meet Netflix and chill kinda guy though. Lol
I learned my lesson when I tried to use it as a dating site. LOL.
I got some weird messages. It was really a fun game to see how long someone would take to ask for a sexual act. Most people at least tried for some conversation. A few people went from Hi to blow job in 3 messages flat.

They don't post to Facebook. It just pulls in your friends list and profile photo. So you can see if you have common interests that you have noted on Facebook.

I'm not talking about posting to Facebook. I'm talking about some rando on an app seeing people on my friends list and then going to his friends list, looking at the friends list of the buddy we have in common, finding me, and finding my real name. No way. In fact, I usually don't use photos of my face for my profile photos on FB, and when I do, I dang sure wouldn't use the same photo on a dating site or app. (On the other hand, I'm glad other people do, because I caught a few married men and overgrown party boys with a simple image search.)
I can't speak for all women, but for me, I'm just there for whatever experience comes along. I'd entertain the idea of a hookup, but it's not my primary purpose. I don't actually expect anything to come from Tinder other than serious amusement. That being said, I live in a small enough town that I've already seen at least 3 guys I know on there. Based on that alone, I wouldn't put in my profile that I'm open to hookups.
