While I am sceptical of the lizardman Zuckerberg it's good if Tinder gets a real competitor as it would make them consider twice about their shitty algorithms and p4p game. I hope.

Lol, says it's for LTRs. Like anyone except fat chicks and virgin dudes go on apps for love.

I cant see this working at all. Young people don't use facebook much, and it takes away from anonymity. People dont want their whole life story on a dating ap, just a few carefully selected/edited pics.

It'll probably give good returns in the first few months as curious girls try it out.

But what everyone really wants to know is...
Will you still be able to use the dating features if you're listed as in a relationship?
Will you still have the excuse, "she's not my side chick, we're just Facebook friends?"
Will Facebook make new "suggestions" based on your likes and past bangs, err, "relationship" history?

Sad.
I read a study where Facebook was the cause of 1/3 of divorces.
I guess that number will rise.

I wonder how well this will work, considering the whole scandal stuff recently, and the fact that people aren't as active on the site as they were 6-7 years ago.
It has an advantage in the fact that it's already a big name, but a disadvantage in the fact that it isn't exactly new or original. A double edged sword or something.
Honestly though, I feel like this would do better if they integrated it as an Instagram dating service instead, since that seems to be more active in the whole social media world among other young people at least. But who knows.

This is just formalizing an already existing trend. By my last count, I’ve pulled just as many girls off FB as tinder, if not more.
Disclaimer: this is in SEA, not in the West, where people are extremely fickle about random friend requests from the opposite sex.

I just watched the clip of Zuck speaking to the audience about this dating feature where he said "...NOT just for hookups!"
Does he not understand that it's people that are the ones who decide what the deal is? Not necessarily what the software is designed around. Has there ever been a dating site in history where a ONS never happened? Did the designers of OKCupid, tinder, bumble or any other dating app aim for it to be for hookups? Did OKC's creators know ahead of time that they were going to be running a site with the highest ratio of fatties and trannies? They probably thought at first that they were aiming higher than that. But people are gonna do what people are gonna do. Why act as if the medium of online dating app has any bearing whatsoever on the motives of the people using said app?
Tinder is for hookups because that's what the people using it want to do. Why would this be any different? What's so special about Zuck's dating feature that would discourage using it for ONS? I guess if you have no game whatsoever this would make sense.

Since the announcement is fresh and people are actually paying attention, the 'not for hookups' messaging is likely a key part of the PR pitch geared towards women who might use the service. To attract more than just beluga whales who rely on online dating because they get zero attention in real life, they need to attract the damaged-in-some-way-but-bangable crowd (increasingly large due to daddy issues, etc.) who need to feel 'classy' and like they're constantly in search of something 'meaningful', even though they really aren't and it's just to make themselves feel better.
Plus, it allows them to at least from a marketing standpoint, position themselves to compete with both the Tinders and Match.com's of the world. You can't really go wrong being anti-hookup in your marketing - can bash hookups six ways to Sunday, and horny fucks will still sign up, with hope of getting some strange.
I doubt these points were brought up in the board room in the same brash, red pill tone... but I do think they have an idea of who their target audience is. Even they realize that desperate guys will sign up by the millions - the goal is just getting as many women as possible to at least try it out, and feigning classiness to placate the female "I'm worth more than a hookup" hamster will help make that happen, IMO.

As long as women insist on imagining that men with much higher SMV are going to want to settle down with them, dating apps are going to skew towards hookups.
Absolutely.
Part of the issue though is that desperate men in the midst of a cold streak will turn to dating apps aggressively and lower their standards to get some - and will lie when she inevitably shit tests with "what are you looking for on here?"
While this placates the 'signal that I'm classy' sluts I mentioned above, your point is also true - it can also cause the more stable girls, who just happen to be not that attractive, start to think you're actually interested, and artificially inflates their value in the moment and beyond, setting them up for failure not just in that instance, but in the long-term when the situation likely repeats. A vicious cycle.
Online dating really is doing irreparable damage to both men and women.
