3. Tinder: The classic hookup app that probably doesn’t even need a description
My thoughts on it: I’ve heard of success stories on POF so I figured it couldn’t be that bad, but the majority of the messages I received were guys being very forward or just asking the most bizarre sexual things. I expected this app to be a little more PG than ones like Yumi – but I probably only had about two normal/non-sexual conversations out of many.
Most of the other messages I received were guys asking for my number right away (see picture above) or asking to wrestle (um, what?). The only positive I found with using POF was that you don’t have to spend a lot of your time swiping away like other apps before actually chatting with someone.
How does the app work? Tinder has always had the reputation of being a hookup app, although I feel like its reputation has gotten a little better in recent years.
