I've had some great experiences, but I'm sure everyone's mileage may vary

I think it got really bad the past few years. I think many people don't even know that, but tinder used to be free. You got 5 free super swipes or something, unlimited swiping and so on. Now you can swipe a few times for free, and it is never ever the people who already liked you. It has a feature where you can limit your range and disable people from around the world. But half the women i see are from china or thailand. Women get flooded with likes and matches while as (an average?) guy, it's like playing the lottery.

The problem that i see with that is that men generally don't pick their "dream girl" they jest pick what they can get. Which is a weird dynamic for any sort of relationship. "Of all the likes, i picked you, because of your smile and we both like cycling." "You were my only match in 3 month."
