END OF MESSAGE

It is a dating app. It has certainly become popular because it doesn't require all of the hassle of writing a profile ...such as match or eharmony. It is linked to a Facebook, and so it just takes your profile pics.

You sign up for the app. Photos of people in your area come on the screen. You swipe right if you like their look. You swipe left if you're not interested. When 2 people say yes to each other...you get a little "ding" and then you are able to message.

It's great for convenience, and people are superficial when it comes to online dating anyway. Like any site, some are looking for serious relationships, some are looking for a quickie. Regardless, you see all sorts of funny pictures. The entertainment value is priceless

ahhh, technology. Funny how it has changed the world as we know it!

It's become popular because you quickly view pictures and pass on them.  Even if you see a girl you like, there are at least 100 guys to every girl so they get turned off by all the idiots.

Got spammed by a girl who asked me to join Kik messenger, then to sign up for her webcam show

Aside from that, no luck on that app. Have had more luck on dating sides and coffee meets bagel

Before escaping to Europe, I experienced two weeks of Tinder in New York (so I am no expert), but it was much more laborious. Everyone (myself included) was so busy and distracted. The two guys I had dates with were terrific, but 20 maybes got lost along the way. According to my full-time-Tindering New York friends, the way it goes is this: You match, you exhibit how witty and busy you are, you Google each other, you Facebook each other, you tell your shrink/mother/ex about this maybe-whatever broke-and-broken prospect from Prospect Heights … and ultimately, you never, ever, ever meet up. Agh!
