I don't know if Tinder falls into what you consider a dating site, but I played around on it a few years ago when I was single. I was new to the area and recently on my own, and decided to see if it worked how I had read about it.
I didn't use it a lot, but I did match with several women, which led to fun, more that didn't. They might say the same thing about me, but every single one that I hooked up with was bat shit crazy. I didn't go overboard with photos, but they were real pics and not touched up or posed. I'd say that overwhelmingly, the pics that they posted were once-in-a-lifetime shots or just simply doctored. I look at what I just typed, and it seems shallow, but a major point of the app is its appearance. Unless they have no intention of meeting, you're going to find out what the other person looks like!
My first match ended up being a date for dinner and drinks on a Friday night. She was attractive enough (not like her pics, though), but it was an awkward/bizarre conversation with her. She jumped all over the place, and I could never keep track of what she was talking about. It was like she had five separate conversations going on simultaneously and would randomly jump between them. The one I could follow was about going back to her place.
We had fun that night, and when we were done, she asked me to take her to a wedding the next day! We were still naked and in bed, and she was trying to fight me over not wanting to go to the wedding of people I didn't know with someone I had just met. I was not saying much of anything, and she keeps going about how I should be ashamed of myself for using her for sex. Thank God we were at her place, and I could leave vs. trying to get her to leave. I have to laugh now and probably did at the time when she wanted to know why I was leaving.
In the middle of the next week, she reaches out like nothing happened and like we had made plans for another date. Going on about how great it was the last Friday (blah blah blah). I still have a folder on my computer with screen captures of all her messages and pics because I always felt like I would get accused of something.
