This could get confusing since another custompins domain was already mentioned, but I just made an order through custompins.com and highly recommend them. Quality products, great pricing structure, quick replies, and quick shipping.

Great feedback. We're working on a couple of those last items, using this site as a way to get some attention for the issue and then start conversations about future partnerships with those orgs.

And I agree that users aren't pretending Tinder isn't used for hookups, but Tinder is:

So, yeah - that's the problem. Tinder can be a dating app - but it's also used as a hookup app. And if there's any truth to articles like this:

Tinder should at least be open to the conversation and not in denial about it.

Grindr, Jack'd and some of the other gay dating apps are much better at including these conversations as part of their app - usually as sponsored posts and disclaimers, but also not penalizing individuals who are on the site to support users. They may be a good example for Tinder to follow.

Hey Jared - thanks for the comment. Totally agree with you on multiple levels. "Dating" can mean many different things to many people. We're using hyperbole to make a point (and make people laugh), though I'll be the first to admit we believe the issue is much more nuanced than the site may suggest.

Part of that nuance is understanding that sex and dating can be complicated and not always just "pure entertainment". There are a number of organizations that have been using Tinder as a way to connect with people looking for someone to talk to about sexual health / sexual identity / depression / etc. etc. However - if those organizations are associated with sex (HIV prevention orgs, Sex-positive Advocacy Orgs, etc.), Tinder routinely drops their accounts.

This is an actual problem.

Since we're having a discussion about it (the reason we created this site, yay!), here's what I would say on a more nuanced, less funny version of the same site:

"Tinder (and the App Store / Google Play Store) believes that dating and sex are separate things. We believe that many times - MANY TIMES - they are not separate. And since Tinder is an app is much more closely related to "hooking up" than an Instagram or a Facebook, Tinder should cut the bullshit, take some responsibility for how their users use their app, and at least allow the conversation about safe sex, sexual identity, abuse, etc. etc. to take place on their app."

But enough about me. In your search for entertainment on Tinder, did you ever end up shaking the sheets? And was it amazeballs?
