How's Tinder these days?

Someone explain to me, why did Grindr exist and not just Tinder? I've not used them but the other day was just thinking about random stuff on the treadmill at gym and thought why have a dedicated app for one type of dating preference when there should be no discrimination as to who wants to use it for what? I've not used either so maybe i'm confused and they both can go both ways with regards to orientation of a partner?

Probably because it's a more targeted audience. People would want to see others who match their sexual preferences I imagine. If you're straight, you don't want to be presented with same-sex profiles as it's a waste of time. Same goes for if you're gay, I imagine.

Yes, but surely configurable though? Dunno. anyhoo.

You do realize there are exercises to keep it all tight and intact?

That's what you call a solution to a problem that didn't need to exist in the first place ;)

I'm just teasing, but no, I have no gay bones in my body (and no, I don't want one, before you ask).

Gays dont like straights and vice versa, I have both Tinder and Grindr but I still much prefer Grindr because there are no females on there, I set my preference for men only on Tindr but every now and then a female profile slips through and i puke in my mouth. Grindr is also more of a hookup app and tinder a bit more classy. Just different markets honestly

Grindr came before tinder. You can search for any type of relationship on tinder. Grindr failed to capitalize on the market.

Okay fine, We will have this conversation again in 10 years when we are both depressed and still single.

Those females are probably just males from across the aisle. You're missing opportunities man!
