He keeps saying "overtly sexual" and is asking the question if it's "OK". Not sure why someone has to post a profile and be crude with their intent. They're other ways to skin a cat.

My 27 year old Son is very successful on Tinder. He's been traveling a lot this year and he'll often use it to find a friend to hang out with in a new city. He met 2 different girls in Guam to go hiking with just lately. Also found a girl to split the fare with him on a flight in Alaska. Heck, he even gets girls to give him a ride when his car's in the shop. I'm sure some "hooking up" is involved, but I don't know the details. I wish it had been around when I was his age.

I think you can develop a sexual banter in your early stage text messaging but I would make more playful that the examples given in the original post. A sexual banter over text can set up first date sex.

I have had plenty of matches lead with something sexual. Even though my profile says nothing that would allow you to assume that’s my primary aim. It’s annoying.

I have found more people lead with sec on that site than others.

Yeah, guys usually want sex for free, or as cheaply as possible. Tinder allows guys to waste as little time and effort as possible in their quest to get some tail. It beats buying drinks at nightclubs for a lot of these guys.

That's because the purpose and intent of tinder is for people to hook-up, and there's plenty of women who say they aren't looking for hook-ups on tinder and then they end up having that. It makes sense for those guys to try their luck with you, and if you aren't interested in casual sex, you can easily move on from those guys and look for what you want.

I don't blame the OP for asking, because for some reason, Tinder has gotten a reputation of being a hook-up app, due to the nature of its quick convenience.

I know some people use it for that, but I’ve never felt that it was a hook up app. I’ve used lots of different dating sites over the years (match, eharmony, pof, okc, etc.) and I don’t find Tinder to be any worse. I don’t get bothered by men who I don’t want to talk to because that’s not possible on Tinder. I’ve seen several of my coworkers on Tinder so I know that professional people like myself use it. And I am not a person who wants to read a long profile about someone or write a long profile about myself, so I prefer the efficiency of Tinder. I do think it would be nice if Tinder had a photo verification thing like Bumble has so that people would stop using fake pics, but aside from that, I don’t really have a bunch of complaints about Tinder. I do end up unmatching a lot of people, but it’s usually because I was bored with the conversation and not because they made sexual comments. Basically if I hated Tinder so much, I wouldn’t be on there.

OP, have you had sex before? Something about your posts seems to give away a lack of experience. In that case, I suggest you proceed very judiciously in your seduction attempts.

It started as a hook-up app. That's how it got the reputation. Some people then began using it as a regular dating app.

Does that mean that users can be overtly sexual there, which would be considered vulgar on a site like Match.com? I don't mean to be crude, but if it's a hookup app, does that a mean that when there's a mutual match, a man can introduce himself by saying something to the effect of "Nice shoes, wanna [snip]" -- and it's something that's expected and not out of the norm? Or is it still expected that there's some kind of neutral or conversational "getting-to-know-you" stuff?

On a site like OkCupid or Match you can't write a message which is overtly sexual. It's considered inappropriate and rude. But is it OK on Tinder?
My first tinder profile was something like

“6 Foot
6 Inches
6 Figures

Come sin with me “

I met tons of people I seen casually, or just people I hung out with or seen here and there. Lots of hook ups. That’s all I wanted though.

A couple years ago I made a profile a bit more mature and found an awesome girlfriend I’m planning to get married to soon.

Doesn’t matter what its for, it matters what you use it for. Tinder is low effort, free and more casual, I like it much better than OKC and all those other ones. You can tell by the profiles who likes to joke around and get some laughs and who is actually kinda serious about finding dates.
