There's a lot of debate on what ENM (ethically non-monogamous) actually means, but for the purposes of this post we'll define it as any relationship that is not monogamous. This can include polyamorous relationships, open relationships, swinging, and more. Tinder is starting to become a popular platform for people in these types of relationships because it provides a way to meet new partners without having to go through the traditional channels.
Some people in the ENM community view Tinder as a helpful tool for finding new partners, while others view it as a dangerous platform that could lead to cheating and heartbreak. There are pros and cons to using Tinder for ENM dating, and it's important to weigh them before deciding if it's right for you.
Pros:
-Tinder provides a convenient way to meet new partners without having to put yourself out there in public.
-It can be used to find local partners or partners who are willing to travel.
-You can get an idea of someone's personality before meeting them by reading their profile and looking at their pictures.
Cons:
-Tinder is known for being a hookup app, so some people may not be looking for anything serious.
-Since it's so easy to swipe left or right on someone without really getting to know them, you might end up missing out on potential good matches.
-People could lie about their relationship status on Tinder, which could lead to heartache down the road.
