Dude, dating apps are total bullshit. With dating services, both parties are necessarily trying to impress one another, ie they're not in their natural environment with their guard down. Posturing is name of the game, and when one thinks they can posture more effectively elsewhere, they will do so on a whim. Hence, the only thing real about dating apps is the sexual intercourse. If you want to e-date, but you want it to be decidedly less Machiavellian, you just need to make friends on any website other than a dating service; that way you'll meet people actually engaging with your hobbies and sharing your interests, rather than simply saying things that may make it likelier for them to receive sex.
