Computers & Internet Tinder

[Perth gal]

I just think we're at a point where Tinder isn't that much different to heading out on the weekend. You're chasing after (or being chased by) someone you think is attractive, and that may lead somewhere or it may not. It won't ever be as good as meeting someone in person, but saying it can't be taken seriously is a bit out of touch. I mean, how many dancefloor pashes/one nighters/swapped numbers actually lead to marriage anyway?

I know of some.

as someone who met my current partner on tinder (in my mid twenties) i’d argue it’s far better.

would take tinder dating way by a street over trying to meet someone on a dance floor.

for shy or more reserved people it’s also a godsend.

But we're not comparing Tinder to heading out on the weekend are we? Realistically finding a life long partner on the dancefloor when everyone is likely drunk is not realistic.

I just don't find much merit in swiping on first impression on the basis of attraction. Photos are often flattering, and internet dating in general leads to people being overly fussy.

At least IRL you have an opportunity to see beyond the surface.

I'd be more interested in an asset profile

I would of loved having Tinder when I was 18-21 years old.

I had friends but not the social types that go out every weekend, So Tinder would of been very handy for me at that age.

it’s obviously not the same but think of it like realestate.com.au - you look at the photos and read the description and make a decision as to whether you’re interested in having a closer look on an in person date.

you’re not committing to anything other than a date with someone you have some level of attraction to. it might work it might not.

you see the ‘beyond the surface’ stuff in person.

where tinder is good it essentially widens the pool of potential partners.

in my case given my partner doesn’t drink and would have been extremely unlikely to be in a pub in richmond or a cbd bar - we would never have met otherwise.

I met my wife when I was trying to have a 1 night stand with her. She got my number off a mate and asked me out on a date (I had nothing better to do so went along). The rest was history.

Likewise. But then again, I never was really single (does a week or two count between relationships?) except for the High school days when you just wanted to add notches to the ol belt.

In my case, boarding school and the school discos on a Fri and Sat night. You just crossed your fingers that the girl you were suppose to be seeing or their school wasn't in attendance.. Made it awkward when two show up from different school and you had to try and come up with an explanation.

And they say romance is dead.

And that, kids, is how I met your mother!

You have to fish where the fish are.

At the moment Tinder is the main game in town.

Not sure about main, seems like Hinge and Bumble are just as busy these days (Melbourne).

Cheers. Yet Tinder was originally made for 1 night stands.

Anyone else found Tinder (and dating in general) near ****ing impossible for the past year and a half?

I used to tear it up. Now I'm lucky to have a short conversation with a girl once or twice a week.

Yep, girls seem as less keen as ever to want to meet up.

Don't want to catch covid!

It's a vicious cycle.

Girls, realising that even though it's 2021 guys still have to make most of the effort and they have the upper hand, get picky and choosy.

Guys, realising how disposable they are, make less and less effort and focus on instant gratification.

Girls complain that guys only want hook ups and don't make an effort.

Guys make even less effort.

Everyone deletes the app and dies alone.

The end.
