I am a stalwart advocate for the "smash first, ask questions later" approach. 

Just a tip for all our lovelorn swipers out here.

I'm thinking about actually changing my Tinder profile, which is now just a copy of the Bumble profile. 

Bumble: sophisticated AI entrepeneur
Tinder: I will fix your daddy issues

2 different strategies. Might work.

But... when I take advantage of people not as smart as me it always feels kind of wrong?
However a co-worker said: "You have no problem doing that in business" (true) and "if she feels good about it and signs up, why should you feel bad about it" (also true).

I think you're presenting yourself with a false dilemma. Lots of people (including successful girlbosses with actual life aspirations) enjoy a drive-by encounter. 

Instead of starting off with evaluating "the match" as step one, just figure out how to get in the same physical space, quickly. I was being a little flip with my earlier post, but I've found that A) you learn everything you need to know much faster this way, and B) the chances for sex--even if it isn't a workable dating dynamic--go way, way higher. 

If you actually get to lock in B and it goes well, conversations about "I want to travel vs. I'm building my empire" magically become a lot more negotiable too. 

I would NOT recommend hooking up with girls that are insistent on finding their One True Love or Waiting for Marriage or whatever...that would be taking advantage, and generally results in more problems for yourself than anyone else. But other than that 🤷‍♀️
