Tinder has been nothing less than a cultural phenomenon, adding “swiping” to our dating lexicon
The casual dating app is incredibly straightforward and easy to use. In fact, it’s so simple that, at least for the standard free version, there are really only a few things you can do on it, including updating your profile, swiping left (to pass) or right (to like), and chatting with matches.
As is only fitting for a swipe-based dating app, profiles are minimal, focusing mainly on profile pictures with a brief bio, but they do allow you to connect social accounts if desired, including your Instagram account, which can give people a better idea of what you’re into via Facebook likes, and pictures of you visible on your Instagram.
Unlike other dating platforms that backhandedly want users to stay single so they continue to use, and in some cases pay for, the site, Pure does not encourage users to stay in the digital realm any longer than required
There’s really only one path to finding other singles on the site: swipe, message, and go from there. The main section of the site, the swiping section, allows you to swipe on profiles extremely quickly, with many users only looking at the main profile picture before swiping one way or the other. There are some more advanced paid features that let you �boost� your swipe, such as super-liking a member, or reverse your swipe option and go back to a profile you accidentally passed onmunication can only take place once both members like each other, at which time either match may initiate a conversation.
If you’re strictly looking for a hookup app, it’s always best to prioritize your privacy, and Pure does just that. The free app, designed to facilitate casual flings, erases your profile every hour (although you can easily restore it if your heart desires). The app is basically a geo-location-based online personals app that allows you to list yourself to other local singles for 60-minute periods to see who you match up with. (more…)
