Why would someone be on tinder if they have a girlfriend?

If they keep going on then after a few hours deleting account etc
If they have a girlfriend
I'm trying to give someone the benefit of the doubt
Is there any genuine reasons someone would be on tinder if they have a girlfriend?

Genuine reasons - they are desperate to meet someone else (they must be if they keep going to to the trouble of joining and deleting.)

Stormyday · 23/03/2019 08:27

Assuming they are trying to not get found out with the deleting? Very sneaky. Do not give benefit of the doubt.

Spiritinabody · 23/03/2019 08:28

Keeping their options open.
Looking for someone 'better' than their gf.

Shylo · 23/03/2019 08:28

The benefit of what’s doubt? Unless you’ve agreed that it’s an open relationship then there is no doubt - he’s looking for other women and you deserve better.

ForOldLandsEye · 23/03/2019 08:32

I'd say they were still looking for someone but trying to fly under the radar. Very sneaky.

NameChangeNugget · 23/03/2019 08:34

They might still be conversing with people? Doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad

AnyFucker · 23/03/2019 08:35

This is your boyfriend ?

He is looking to hook up with OW but deletes so you won't see what he is doing.

Surely this is obvious ? I can see no benefit to the doubt here, unless you are ok with being mugged off.

BluebadgenPIP · 23/03/2019 08:36

Because they’re a cheating bastard. Or looking to be , anyway.

louisain · 23/03/2019 09:15

It's a friends girlfriend and I seen them on tinder.
It's very awkward for me and stuck between telling my friend and not wanting to cause drama.

Mrsmummy90 · 23/03/2019 09:19

100% tell your friend

userxx · 23/03/2019 09:37

He's keeping his options open, seeing what else is out there. What a prick. Can you screenshot his profile and send it over to her? Give her the evidence and let her decide.

AnyFucker · 23/03/2019 09:41

Tell her.

Orange6904 · 23/03/2019 10:19

Tell her op, save her some heartache down the line. Make sure you have evidence screenshot it when you see it.

NotTheFordType · 23/03/2019 10:32

Because they want to shag other people.

Does your "friend" think they are exclusive? Have they had the conversation?

louisain · 23/03/2019 10:40

She' has been back with her for a year now.
They were together before and split for 3 years.
They were both then single again and got back together.
It is pretty slim pickings for gay women In our area so not sure why she's even Back on.

NotTheFordType · 23/03/2019 10:45

Oh god, if its on and off on and off just don't get involved.

They may well be doing poly, which is none of your business.

Just be there for your friend if she needs you.

AFPH123 · 23/03/2019 11:10

Some do it for a laugh and to see how many matches they get. I’ve seen people do this when on a night out.

louisain · 23/03/2019 11:21

@AFPH123 yeah I thought she might have just went on for a laugh

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 23/03/2019 11:34

If she was doing it "for a laugh" a) she needs to grow up and b) she won't mind if her partner knows about it

louisain · 23/03/2019 12:56

@AnyFucker I think I know deep down she's not on and off for a laugh ..just want to try and give her benefit of the doubt

OP posts:
AnyFucker · 23/03/2019 16:31

I wouldn't

VeronicaDinner · 23/03/2019 16:41

It could be an old profile. If they are on/off, she could have joined during an off phase, but not be an active user. Or they could have an open relationship. Or she could have a profile for a joke.

Those are the only reasons I can think of.

Do you know what the bio says?

louisain · 23/03/2019 16:50

@VeronicaDinner the thing with tinder is after a while of not being on your profile is hidden.
Also I'm checking tinder every day and there's only a handful of new women and she has never been on till then so she must have just re activated.
She's off now tho so was only back on for 1 night

OP posts:
Frenchmontana · 23/03/2019 18:14

Is it possible she is reactivation because she thinks her girlfriend is on/still on it and is going on occasionally check.

Loads of women come to mn saying the person they recently started dating is still on dating apps. They know cause they are on there too.

Your friend could simply have blocked you so you wouldn't see her

louisain · 23/03/2019 21:03

@Frenchmontana no my friend has never been on tinder.
They didn't meet on there.
She might have went on to try and find a friend someone ..you never know.
