Im not sure what you're unhappy about.
Maybe get the sex part out of the way on the first date, and kayaking can be the new second date? Or camping, I want to go camping.
That's what sucks though they would actually be great for that if they weren't hijacked.
Drive to the lake or park 45 min from your house that rents kayaks, set location, bring up Tinder...find girls that are near that same lake that are single and ready to mingle, and into kayaking or paddle boarding or whatever. Voila, you met someone that likes something you do.
It seems like viewing someone as an activity partner was lost on the path to getting laid somewhere, lol.
The level of lost and unused potential is pretty sad.
Make your own app

I'm not sure that's true.
Reminds me of a poem I read some years ago about two people who met in the cold, had sex ("my belly brushes your back") but kept their mittens on.
All I'm saying is that its synonymous for being a hookup app. What actually happens in reality could be quite different.
And to be completely honest, Ive used the internet in high school to get laid many times. Though, I dont consider it the same as today's dating apps.....its fundamentally the sameO crap; a lot of dishonesty/deception, etc. Furthermore, ALL dating apps have one end goal - and that's to get laid. Surely, nobody is swiping right on Tinder for a kayak partner. Lol
It's synonymous to you, maybe. But not many (most) of the people who use it. That's a preconceived notion and little else.
And what you're describing is nearly identical to real life. The bar scene, for example, is almost exactly the same. Some people go looking to meet potential long term relationships. Some go looking for hookups. Some go with an open mind and see what happens. Some are forthcoming and honest, others lie. Tinder works identically, the difference being that certain pieces of it are worked out in advance- I.e. The indication of attraction (swiping right/left), and a little background info. That's the big difference. The end game is what the two end users decide it is. By nature dating apps are designed to connect people who may be attracted to each other, but what the end users do with it is up to them.
Tinder is useless for men unless you're an above average white guy or a top 5 to 10% non-white guy. Average looking women that are 100 lbs overweight can meet up with men that are fringe-level NFL or NBA players (ask me how I know lol).
Women like an environment where they can quickly find the hot guys and sort the "bad boys" from the "good guys" depending on their motivations. It's essentially a harem for women. For serious long-term relationships it may not be the best option. However, for casual dating and hookups, ladies basically get whatever they want if they're willing to actually meet the guys.
Imagine a dating app where men, regardless of physical appearance and income, can basically pick who they want to take to bed without having to pay for it.
Women and men use the application differently. Men are much more likely to swipe right on 100 girls in a short amount of time. Women are more likely to go through about 10 guys and swipe right on 3 of them (all will be matches since men mostly swipe right on anyone who isn't obese). Women don't want to have 100 conversations going at the same time so then they just stop swiping and pursue the few guys they already started talking to. So you will see them in your app, but they are probably not actively looking.
Also, there are more men than women to begin with.
The algorithm is rigged against you, they want you to pay for some of the special boosts to increase visibility.
Have a female friend choose the pics you use.
