Interview Summary — Female Participant

She first learned about dating apps in middle school through online videos and stories about scams.
Her actual use began when a friend downloaded Tinder on her phone; she kept using it afterward.
She never tried other apps like Tantan or Soul, which she associates with “a different crowd” (e.g., “people from Kuaishou”).
Her initial motivation was curiosity — mainly to see which acquaintances were on the app, not to find a partner.
She described using Tinder as for fun, “just swiping and looking,” rather than seriously seeking relationships.

She never meets strangers offline; she only interacts with people she already knows in real life (e.g., classmates).
Treats Tinder as a casual social or observational platform, not necessarily for romance.
Usually swipes during idle moments (“when I’m on the toilet”), describing it as “爽” (a kind of thrill or pleasure) — like browsing faces quickly, “almost like picking concubines.”
Used the app for about six months during her first year of university, with high frequency at the beginning.

Top priority: real-person verification. Anyone without it is assumed to use fake photos.
Second priority: height — men over 180 cm usually mention it, and that’s a sign she looks for.
She also checks labels like smoking, pets, interests, or relationship goals (short-term vs. long-term).
The only hard filter: no smokers.
She looks for subtle overlaps in interest (e.g., F1 racing), but mostly relies on her own curiosity.
