I also think many people don’t realize, particularly with Tinder, one’s sexual preference (as in an app setting/config) is only used for matching, not preventing your profile from appearing for members whose sexual orientation are not in alignment, it will just never match.

So, one could be matching or rejecting more than realized.

I forget which, but one of the big dating sites has a toggle to be invisible to straight people. I think it's mostly so people in the closet can still use it without being outed to locals, but it could be expanded.
