Isn't Tinder just far better poised to capture future dating traffic seeing its dominance on mobile? I can't see a long-term future for web based dating platforms. PoF's mobile audience is tiny compared to Tinder

Tried Tinder as an experiment. Hated it. I would prefer to base my approach to online dating on personality rather than a single profile picture. The entire Tinder experience is incredibly superficial and facilitates hookups rather than actually meeting interesting people.

I see web-based dating platforms as something that will always have a userbase.

Tinder is more for hooking up than dating, which is the big difference between the two.
