I started using Tinder a couple weeks ago because my friends had it and were talking about it so I figured "heck, why not?"

I didn't go in with any serious expectations. I'd heard it was mostly an app for hooking up and I'm not really interested in that. I was really just curious what it was like and if I could meet some interesting people.

Match-wise...few and far in between. Only been on a couple weeks though, maybe it gets better with time but I've only gotten a few matches. One of them sent me something, I think, but when I checked to see what their whole profile was gone. So, that was a thing.

Didn't message the other two - though that's mostly my fault. It seems expected that I'm supposed to be the first one to message and with some kind of dazzling, witty one-liner. I'd like to think I can be funny and interesting but I think, and my friends can probably confirm, that my brand of humor is really contextual and deadpan. It's kinda just there in the moment if you catch it, and usually my friends do. But I'm no comedian and I'm pretty bad at being funny when the lights are focused on me. Girls on the app don't usually put much info on there either, so it's either the eye-catching one-liner or talking about something in their profile, but if it's all pictures...? For most profiles it seems like even if I made a match I wouldn't have much material to work with.

The whole grabbing interests from my Facebook was a cool thing that I thought would be really useful...but when I find a common interest 99/100 times it's the same one or two things. Really generic things. Things that I "like" on FB but are so far off from something I'd consider a meaningful common interest that I completely disregard them as matching interests. The usefulness of Facebook integration was disappointing.

So, while I don't have much personal experience that's at least what I think of it so far. What experience I do have is what I'm basing my opinion of it on. Compared to OKC, OKC is the better way to go.
