This may or may not be relevant. A lot of it depends on the territory. For example, in Russia, Tinder is not always or even primarily used as a hook-up app
I see. There are exceptions, and I met a couple female friends on Tinder. But generally speaking, Tinder does corrupt a lot of women, especially the hot ones (they get their ego boost from the amount of guys who swipe right). And there are unattractive ones on there seeking male attention.
Again, this depends on the country and the type of online dating.
Online dating is not big in Mexico like it is in some other countries like The Philippines or Colombia. But more often than not, women on dating sites aren't necessarily good choices.
I don't know what age group you are talking about, but most ladies under 30 will not really use Facebook that much anyway. Instagram and, if you're unlucky, Snapchat are their comms tools of choice. With Instagram, there are actually lots of women who post very tasteful ('artsy' to use the technical term) selfies. Snapchat is a bit more anarchic.
I'm definitely talking about the under 30 group. But yes, you do see plenty of women posting selfies to Instagram and getting a bunch of likes. And you definitely notice attention whores on Snapchat. If you want to know my girlfriend doesn't have Instagram, Snapchat, or Tinder installed on her smartphone.
Don't forget that quite a few women in Latin America - even those from upper-class backgrounds - marry remarkably early. It's quite possible that they were a virgin when they got married and still only have one partner on getting divorced. For me, this shows a healthier attitude than having boyfriends, because at least they tried to take marriage seriously in the first place.
Latin America is changing, and girls are marrying at later ages, just like elsewhere in the world. In the large cities, particularly the capitals, you'll notice lots of unmarried women in their late 20s and into their 30s. It's the smaller towns and rural villages that women still marry quite early and take marriage more serious. Also, some Latin American countries are very promiscuous, like Brazil or Colombia.
What I find disturbing is that quite a few Mexican women do rebound relationships. For instance, I heard this was especially common in cities in Northern Mexico because of strong U.S. influence. But from what my girlfriend told me, she had a female friend whose boyfriend cheated on her with another woman but she got with someone else within a very short time to get over her ex; this said female friend of my girlfriend also has A LOT of guy friends in her social circle. She even told me that the girls presently in
preparatoria (high school) don't take marriage seriously, but instead want to party and sleep around. You see this most in places that have been taken over by globalization.
