The logic behind Hinge was that Tinder is too superficial, focusing as it does on pictures and quippy bios over in-depth personal info.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Millennials and Gen Z daters want more than that, but they don&rsquo;t want the long personality quizzes and clunky user experience of traditional dating sites. And so, Hinge was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prompts and questions on Hinge are designed for long-form answers, meaning that you get to know about your match&rsquo;s personality as soon as you land on their profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You see pictures too, it is a dating site after all, but Hinge is about being interesting as much as it is about being hot.

The most trustworthy and successful is probably eharmony, which you can try for free here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"exclusive-offers\">\n        <h2>Dude Hack Exclusive Offers<\/h2>\n\n        <ul class=\"exclusive-offers__grid\">\n            <li class=\"exclusive-offers__grid-item\">\n           \n                <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/click-9128028-10880594?sid=exclusive-offer\"><!-- link Serious relationship? -->\n\n                    <p>Serious relationship?<\/p>\n                    <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/untitled-1_325.jpg\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/untitled-1_325.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\">\n                    <span>Get Free Trial<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n           <li class=\"exclusive-offers__grid-item\">\n\n                <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/tinder-hacked-free\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><!-- link Tinder Hacked -->\n\n                    <p>Tinder<\/p><p> Hacked<\/p>\n                    <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Untitled-design-3.png\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Untitled-design-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\">\n                    <span>Get Free Ebook<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"exclusive-offers__grid-item\">\n\n                <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/best-dating-app-quiz\/\" rel=\"noopener\"><!-- link Best Dating App? -->\n\n                    <p>Best Dating<\/p><p> App?<\/p>\n                    <noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/DATING_APP_ICON_CONSOLIDATED-min.png\" alt=\"\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/DATING_APP_ICON_CONSOLIDATED-min.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\">\n                    <span>Take Our Quiz<\/span>\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n\n           \n        <\/ul>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Type Of A Dating Site Is Hinge?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hinge is a dating app in the model of Tinder (which at this point has become the matriarch of the dating app family&ndash;what app isn&rsquo;t inspired by Tinder?) but with more of an emphasis on showing the personalities and wants of its users and therefore fostering more honest, deeper relationships.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It&rsquo;s supposed to be something of a halfway house between easy-swipe apps and the terrifyingly adult commitment of the desktop dating site.

This may well change the site and its users somewhat, but for now, the changes are largely cosmetic and\/or to add features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The color palette on the site has been upgraded to earthy reds and purples that are supposed to evoke the outdoors, and <a href=\"https:\/\/adage.com\/creativity\/work\/hinge-dating-app-designed-be-deleted\/2190756\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hinge has a new mascot<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also new illustrations throughout the app that are designed to look hand-drawn. These cute little creatures are probably making some sort of point about the perfection of imperfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maybe it&rsquo;s some kind of psychological trickery to try and get us all to settle for the creepy user who keeps finding new ways to tell us he has his very own car, and according to their pictures has worn the same t-shirt every day for several years. Or maybe they&rsquo;re just cute illustrations of animals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does Hinge Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hinge is a location-based<\/strong> dating app. Even if you&rsquo;ve been living under a rock without a smartphone, you will have heard of the original location-based<strong> dating app, Tinder. As I said earlier, Hinge is a play on the same concept.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dating app that&rsquo;s &lsquo;designed to be deleted&rsquo; has always been a little more complicated than Tinder, focusing on a large selection of prompts and questions which users answer to show their personalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can like individual answers, and you can send a response with your like, which makes starting conversations that aren&rsquo;t just your basic &lsquo;What&rsquo;s up?&rsquo; or &lsquo;Nice glasses\/car\/fish\/dress&rsquo; again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hinge prompts are essentially <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/uk\/2020\/02\/04\/best-answers-to-hinge-questions-141657\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">profile questions<\/a>. If you&rsquo;re a dating site aficionado they might remind you of some of the open OkCupid questions from years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Dating-Site-Hinge-Features.jpg\" alt=\"Is Hinge For A Hookup or Seiors Relationship -

Side note: even if you&rsquo;re looking for a relationship, don&rsquo;t delete your apps after one date. That&rsquo;s a very intense move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Hinge Good for Hookups?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hinge was designed to offer a somewhat more serious dating experience to the young people used to using Tinder<\/strong> and maybe either aging out of endless hookups or just wanting to try something new. It certainly offers that and has led to plenty of long-term relationships, but in the end, it&rsquo;s an app used by 18 to 40-year-olds. So yeah, Hinge is good for hookups!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The limited number of likes for non-paying users makes Hinge a somewhat more discerning place than Tinder or Bumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add to this the fact that you can tell quite a lot about someone&rsquo;s attitude and sense of humor by not only how they answer prompts and questions but also the questions they pick, and Hinge allows you to make decisions that are going to work for you quickly and with more ease than other apps.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"337\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Hookups.jpg\" alt=\"Is Hinge For A Hookup or Seiors Relationship - Hinge Hookups\" class=\"wp-image-19441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Hookups.jpg 337w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Hookups-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Hookups-84x150.jpg 84w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Hookups-188x335.jpg 188w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Hookups-195x347.jpg 195w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Hookups-292x520.jpg 292w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"337\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Hookups.jpg\" alt=\"Is Hinge For A Hookup or Seiors Relationship - Hinge Hookups\" class=\"wp-image-19441 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Hookups.jpg 337w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Hookups-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Hookups-84x150.jpg 84w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Hookups-188x335.jpg 188w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Hookups-195x347.jpg 195w, https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Hookups-292x520.jpg 292w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 337px) 100vw, 337px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/dude-hack.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Is-Hinge-For-A-Hookup-or-Seiors-Relationship-Hinge-Hookups.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-10\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This might mean you can narrow down candidates and find someone who has the same niche interest in making and sailing paper boats as you and wants kids within the next three years just like you do, all before even exchanging a word with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or it might mean that it&rsquo;s just a little easier to weed out the f**kbois and girls who would do your head in even just as a bedroom friend. Did I just coin that phrase? I&rsquo;m not sure I like it. But my point stands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hinge is great for hookups, though people on the app are looking for all sorts of things.<\/strong> The app is designed to show you what everyone is looking for before you waste too much time and energy on cultivating a rapport with anyone inappropriate, and that makes life easier for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does Hinge Work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You get out what you put in when it comes to online dating. Hinge was initially about getting people to put more in &ndash; answering longer-form questions and curating a profile that really represented them. The dream for its creators really was to create a space for younger people to find serious partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But of course, over time it has changed. An app&rsquo;s an app for that, after all. It&rsquo;s easy to keep your profile to witty single-sentence answers and focus on banter and flirting on Hinge, just as, if you want to put more in, you can show a lot about who you are and what you want on the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hinge works for hookups and for serious dating, but you need a great profile that gives off the right vibes to find what you&rsquo;re looking for.
