In today’s society, especially in college, a lot of pressure is put on the dating scene and its members. In order to help people avoid these pressures, many companies have released online communities where people can casually meet other people, perhaps even people they would not have ever been able to meet otherwise, and start relationships sans stress. Some examples of these include, but are not limited to Sizzl, OKCupid and, of course, Tinder.
Tinder has made a huge impact on the dating scene. According to a recent article released by TechCrunch.com, Tinder has had over 9 billion matches, which is more than the world’s population, since its arrival as an online dating platform.
It is especially popular amongst college students. After all, what is one to do when they are single but don’t have time to go out partying every weekend in hopes of finding a date?
With just one swipe to the right, a match between two people can be created. It is easier than ever to peruse other singles and simultaneously write a 10-page paper.
In addition to this, with the application of Tinder, it is possible to avoid social confrontation and still find a romantic interest. No longer are awkward silences and first impressions a problem with this dating app. It is also easy to make it clear to someone whether or not you’re looking for a long-term relationship or something more short-term.
Avoiding the awful situation of rejecting others is also easier with the use of Tinder, by just swiping to the left.
Now, with Tinder’s new feature called “super like,” it’s possible to tell the difference between if someone is only slightly interested or if they are “super” interested.
The best part about Tinder is that it can work for everyone. Anyone can go through their phone and see who is interested in them and decide whether or not to take it to the next step. You never know who is out there until you log on.
