Does he have ANY and I mean ANY legitimate reason to check out Tinder? Not 'personal curiosity' but perhaps work related? I don't have Tinder, but I understand it links to Facebook and Facebook uses ads, so I assume Tinder might, too. Does he work in marketing or advertising for a company that might be considering advertising there?

I know this sounds like it's ridiculous/reaching, but I'm a woman in my 30s who recently had to learn Snapchat for professional purposes. It's what all the kids are using to sext, so I'd expect someone to give me sideeye if they saw I had it, but didn't understand the reason.

If you want to know what it is, google it and you'll find out. No need to actually download the app. Hell just read the description in the App Store. You'll see it is a dating app. And why would a married (Or in a LTR) man/woman be curious about a dating app?


Nonsense. I'm a dude, very happily married, no intention/desire to cheat and - especially after I read about it on the internet - I want to check out Tinder. I want to see what the people on there look like, and what their profiles look like. I've heard that you will definitely see people you know, married and single. I'm curious.

I did not download and install it, precisely because I'm afraid it would be taken the wrong way and because I don't lock my phone, I let my wife (though she seldom does) pick up my phone and go through it whenever she wants. I'd download it to check it out if I knew I could completely and reliably delete the entire app, but I don't really trust that I can. I'm also afraid someone I know would see me and tell her.

But that doesn't mean I'm not curious...just not (completely) stupid.


If you were truly only curious, couldn't you just tell her?

I set up an Ashley Madison account out of curiosity, but didn't hide it from my spouse.

I agree with others, create a profile and take it from there. I did that for someone I was dating. Funny thing is that we had an open relationship, he was "allowed" to date others. My fake profile worked much faster than I anticipated, he actually contacted me first! Dummy! I would certainly be suspicious. I'd probably join a few sites and look for him. Sorry OP.

Here's another fun thing to do: Ask around and find out the address of a busy "massage parlor," and head on over to check it out. It's got to be interesting to see how they operate, and maybe you'll see someone you know there! If someone sees you, just tell them you were curious.


That is the hardest I've laughed on DCUM. Thanks

Me too!!

Uh, no. Why don't you google before you make ignorant posts. It is an app that lets people sign up for firewood delivery so those guys from West Virginia don't have to drive all the way down just to knock on all the doors in the neighborhood each fall and winter. Ingenious app if you ask me. Surprised they thought of it.


Oh - sh:t those guys will be coming soon..

I'm a DW and this is exactly why I won't get the app to check out what the buzz is about though I'm curious because my single friend is always talking about these apps and sites. I know this Is my husbands line of thinking too. That's how I expect faithfully married spouses to behave so that's why I'd be suspicious of your husband and not buy into the curiosity argument. Unless you know him to be stupid as PP said.

Sorry, but this is not good. He needs to delete it.

Ok, so I saw a commercial for a dating site for farmers. I was just curious to see what the heck these people look like, but I had to join in order to view the pics. Darn.

I was at work, smartass. Not going to Google something like that if it has a chance of being some perverted sex crap. Thanks to the PP who wrote to explain.

OP, yeah, I'd be concerned and suspicious. Guessing your husband is lying. I hope for your sake he is not.
