Tinder

What is Tinder you ask?

Well according to gotinder.com "Tinder is how people meet.  It's like real life but better."

Wikipedia says that Tinder is "a location based social discovery app that facilitates communication between mutually interested users.  It is used for dating as well as other kinds of networking."

Here's how it works.

You get the Tinder app, sign up via your Facebook account, and then you start swiping!

Well, okay, you pick which pictures you want people to see, write a little about yourself, set the age limit and mile radius you'd like, and then you start swiping.

It is seriously a game.

A very biased, judgmental, game.  But somehow, our society loves it.

You're probably thinking,

"Well, you don't sound like you're all for this app... why do you have an account?"

In all honesty, I don't know why.

In the words of my friend, "I accidentally had to get a Tinder account."  Perhaps it was because I was bored, and thought it would provide some entertainment, or maybe I thought this app would get me married.  I don't know.  All I know, is I've had it for about a week or so now, and it is interesting.

To finish off how the app works I'll give you some more info.

You get to see pictures of other people who fit your "settings" and if you like what you see, swipe right, if you don't, swipe left.  

No one will know whether you have liked them, or not liked them 

UNLESS you both liked each other.

Then it's like you've won the lottery, your phone pops up with a little announcement reading

MATCHED! 

With pictures of you both by each other, underneath the pictures it reads

[Message]

[Keep playing]

Once you're matched you can message back and forth in the app, 

and sooner or late I'm sure you'll be saying

"...and they lived happily ever after!"
