I'd say two parts to that. One, you know, most relationships probably started with a hookup. So just because people, you know, a large contingent of users on Tinder, I think it's the majority, I don't know the latest numbers or whatnot, but, you know, they're actually looking for a relationship. Doesn't mean they're not. open to a hookup. So there is that.

But on top of that, it is used for everything. The number of marriages that have happened is insane. I get invited to different weddings and stuff like that. And it's really what you make of it. I think some of that stigma really came out of the fact that we launched the app on college campuses. That's sort of where we started. And that's kind of That market, that's kind of what they do.

They're a little bit more hookup-centric and all, and so it kind of came from that. But it really isn't. It's whatever it is that you're looking for, you should be able to find it on Tinder and, of course, the other platforms.

Well, it starts off less pressure. It's a little bit easier to be your more authentic self when it's low pressure like that.

Absolutely. I can relate quite a bit to that. I used to have a really hard time dating before Tinder. And every time I did go out on a date, which was very rare, I would... there would be such pressure on me.

I, you know, self-induced pressure thinking like, oh, you know, is this my, when is, I got to make the best of this because I don't know when the next date's going to be, you know, you know, and trying to make the most of everything to the point like I have literal sweat stains on my shirt and stuff. And then once we built Tinder, it made it easy enough for me to just kind of go on enough dates.

It was like I didn't care so much anymore about is this the one or whatever. It's like all I care about is going out, having a drink or something, meeting this person, and if it works out great, awesome. If it doesn't, I'll go out with somebody tomorrow or next week. It's no big deal. And to the point where it kind of flipped.
