I had a situation where a women on Tinder started asking very direct questions about my kinks and sexual proclivities within the two or three messages and while it made me feel very uncomfortable because of the way she asked the questions I never once thought that I should report her or that her kinds of communication shouldn't be allowed on an online dating platform.
I'm really disappointed with the direction that match.com has taken the online dating sector.
I personally prefer my online dating experience to be something like the way OKCupid was before it was acquired, that is to a platform more focused on crafting thoughtful profiles engaging in thoughtful conversations online for a while before meetingin real life.
With that said it's really lame how Tinder has changed due to it becoming the face on online dating apps.
I hardly used it when it first came out but it was designed and billed as a 'hookup app' and now it's full of people looking for life partners or short-term dating and people who are using the app as it was originally intended for are banned?
Like I totally get the whole issue of 90% of the users being male and mercilessly creeping on the 10% of women but why isn't there room in Match.com's strategy for hookup app like Grindr or the way Tinder used to be?
Why isn't there a mainstream hook-up app where it isn't taboo to be forward about sexual intent?

I think it's ok to be forward about sexual intent on Tinder. I think there's a big difference between "Hi - I like your pics. Are you DTF?" and some possible messages that are "explicitly mentioning sexual intercourse and iniviting for a meeting" (to quote the message you are responding to).
