On the heels of releasing its new Relationship Goals feature, Tinder is now rolling out a couple more features to help daters: Relationship Types and pronouns.
Tinder users in select markets, including the U.S., Canada, and Australia, can now indicate if they’re into monogamy, ethical non-monogamy, open relationships, polyamory, or open to exploring. According to a study of 4,000 18-25 year olds in the U.S., UK, Canada, and Australia earlier this year, 52 percent of Gen Z prefer monogamous relationship — while 41 percent are open to non-monogamous connections. Open relationships and hierarchical polyamory (meaning when one or more partners are prioritized over others) are the most popular types of non-monogamous relationships, with 36 percent and 26 percent respectively interested.

Additionally, members in the U.S. can also choose up to four pronouns from a list of over 15 options. In the aforementioned study, 33 percent of Gen Z agree that their sexuality is more fluid, and 29 percent said their gender identity has become more fluid in the past three years.
Forty percent of Tinder users are using the recent Relationship Goals feature, according to its own data from February, indicating that many people want to display their intentions for being on the app. Let’s see how singles (and couples) fare with these new Relationship Types.
