I'm really interested/ impressed at how Hinge has maintained its reputation for being a 'friendly' dating app. I first used it in September 2020, and remember how nice it was to see so many new people and faces after the first lockdown. There was also something endearing about the collective sense of 'putting yourself out there'; that cocktail of slightly bashful-earnest-vulnerability. Bc essentially we're all just trying to be loved! (Full disclosure I met my partner on Hinge so my intel is out of date, and biased towards a positive experience with the app.)
I think something that might have soured dating apps' reputation is people screenshotting profiles and/ or sharing on social media. Not to clutch my pearls, but I think it's such a no! Even if the person is vile, I think it makes everyone worried that someone might do it to them, then we get more insecure, and insecurity makes us more judgemental.
Isamaya Ffrench has been talking about NAD for a while - I love her beauty commentary.
I can ask their team to hop in the comments about the tone of the app, good point and congratulations on a success story :)
Agree with the screenshot thing but unfortunately I just assume nothing is private anymore, and that's the price of having any type of life online. It sucks.
Basically complaining about all dating apps. I was hit with the headline “YOU actually swiped on ME?!?!?” with a blurred photo when I opened the app a couple days ago. So that’s the vibe usually.
Tinder came out like my second semester or year in college, and started out as this like super awkward friend hang out group thing. I’ve actually never had a “relationship” from los apps it’s always been more of a casual thing. Or people ignore and then message you at like 1am when I’m asleep or not interested in talking to someone for the first time lol

There’s a full subreddit forum dedicated to this. It’s pretty gnarly and clutch worthy.
