Using Tinder to find a potentially serious relationship is truly like panning for gold in a river of shit. It requires lots of patience, & it's gross the whole time. But the network effect is large enough that most people try it at some point, so if you craft your profile to repel the garbage & be a breath of fresh air to the sane girls who will probably delete the app after a day or two, it can work.

Isn't Tinder just a hookup app? If I was looking for relationship, a site designed around one night stands wouldn't be my first go to.
Just my humble opinion. YMMV
Tinder & others are whatever you use them for. I'm not looking for hookups & have met quite a few wonderful people that I am still very happy to have gotten to know
"probably" 🙃 I doubt that sane girls stay on there long enough to stumble on a sane guy. Who knows, there might be exceptions, but I would not count on it too much.
I have met quite a few very sane & very intelligent girls via Tinder & Bumble.
My time on tinder was great. Met some interesting people over the course of a year or so, no 1 night stands, and eventually met my now beautiful wife of 4 years. Tinder is just a tool. The way in which you use it is what will determine your results.
"Great" is not really a word I would use to describe the experience of using most dating apps. Something great in my mind is a thing I will at least remember fondly. I will be more than happy to delete them forever one day. But I very much appreciate that such tools exist, & I have definitely met some great people who I would not have met otherwise.
Fair enough!
