Just a few weird things while reading this

> Unlike in the modern dating process, they cannot get to know a potential partner intimately before deciding whether or not to commit to a relationship.

Does intimacy somehow lend knowledge of whether someone's looking for a long term relationship?

> Tinder data shows that men like 10 times more profiles than women do and that 1 in 50 of their likes leads to a match versus 2 out of 5 for women. Faced with many men happy to date them, women have to identify the ones who may be willing to invest in a long-term relationship.

This seems to be saying that men send out lots of likes because they want to play around... but I thought men sent out lots of likes because if they didn't they wouldn't even get a single match, which doesn't say anything about interest in long term relationships.
