OkCupid, POF etc is like a scene from World war Z - hoards of men pinging girls with messages constantly.

The downside is that Tinder requires less investment - most don't even enter a bio - and so things kick off with a match based on physical attraction rather than any other attribute. I call that a 'downside' but guess that's only true if your criteria for a partner extends beyond looks.

In which case there's OkCupid. So yeah I don't see the problem here. The optimal choice may be to install both apps and filter accordingly.
