I think Tinder nailed the concept that many people don&#x27;t want&#x2F;have time to write 10,000 words about themselves or answer stupid quizzes. At least in my experience, a lengthy profile isn&#x27;t going to help you; it can only hurt, and the item of largest importance (as the article states) is the pictures.<p>Tinder seems ideal to quickly move from &#x27;swipe&#x27;, to a couple text messages, to a date. It&#x27;s the first date that really matters. I&#x27;d argue that most people will know within the first 10 minutes of the date if they have any interest in continuing. Messaging back and forth prior to this date doesn&#x27;t seem to do much except waste time.
