> they can't do insult, stalk, or otherwise harm you. You just unmatch.

They absolutely can. I used Tinder for a good while (met my current girlfriend of 1 year there) and a common theme throughout most people that I met is that they were stalked at least once. Even I was, though admittedly to a not very serious degree.

You and your girlfriend were stalked by people who you'd only matched with? You hadn't met them in person?

Yes, e-stalked. No one showed up at my house thankfully, but it's pretty disturbing for a single person to message you everywhere (Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, etc) after you reject them.
