As an early-40s man on Tinder, I don't look at other men my age to see if they're looking for hookups or not, but I very, very rarely see women on there who are, and those who are tend to be younger (less than 30). Most women, especially the 30+ crowd, specifically say "no hookups" in their bios.

However, I don't get many responses or matches, but I think that's mostly because of my distance. I only look for women who live over an hour from me, because that's where all the desirable women live, but they don't seem to be interested in dating a man that far away. So I guess I'm stuck being single until I can relocate myself closer.

I wonder how large part of "No hookups" is to avoid solicitation and requests for prostitution, as opposed to a genuine wish to avoid hookups.
