Question as title really. Is it just to meet for sex or is it dates?

Both

Maybe different now, but a couple I know in B their 40s are still happily together after 10 years. Nether had been married before tho’ so no kids on the mix.

Both. I met my husband on tinder and my son met his girlfriend of 6 years on there too.

LittleJustice · 25/03/2026 08:02

Both. I think there are the most people on there.

I'm mid 50s and met my lovely partner on there.

It was more hook up oriented when it first launched 12 or so years ago but it’s far more broad now. And used across all age groups.

Although my brief encounter with it seemed to be people just wanting to chat endlessly.

It’s not much different to online dating, really.

RoseField1 · 25/03/2026 08:15

No, it's for dating

Yep, this is me and also one of my closest friends. Both met our husbands on Tinder, married for 8 and 9 years respectively.

Suspect it’s like most sites - both. If you’re looking for a relationship, state that in your profile.

No it’s the same as all of the other apps. Some people will use any of them for hookups and some people want a relationship. It has a high number of accounts so it can be good. However people rarely chat if they match so it’s as soul destroying as the rest.

Its rubbish, had one short term relationship but found for 40s/50s Hinge and Bumble far better
