There’s
something about spending hours swiping left and right, picking out the ones
that are ‘worthy’ within a 10-mile radius that makes me excited. The pure joy
that you feel when your phone pings only to tell you that you have a new match
and it’s the hunk with the big biceps that took your fancy in superbull last
Friday or the boy that sits in the back of all of your lectures that you’ve
secretly been dying to talk to for the whole semester but you’re just not sure
if he likes the look of you too. There’s something so right about tinder, but
there is also something so WRONG!
If
our generation will be remembered for anything, it will be creating a social
networking platform that will live on for many years to come. It’s our main
point of contact, communication and utter banter but tinder takes things to a
new level. It’s a great way to meet new people that live in the surrounding
area but there’s something that feels so wrong about judging people solely on
their appearance alone. I am a strong believer that it’s what’s on the inside
that counts but this doesn’t stop the smile on my face that stretches ear to
ear when an absolute hottie wants to talk to me on Tinder and maybe even meet
up for a drink, but why is this?
Is
tinder the same as meeting someone on sites such as plenty of fish and
match.com? In a way I suppose that it is. On both tinder and dating websites
that person first draws you in by the way that they look. There is however a
sinking feeling for every boy that you swipe left for on tinder. Maybe it’s the
aspect that on dating websites you don’t have to say no to anybody, but on the
tinder app you probably scroll past 50 boys before you finally swipe right for
a match with the person that tickles your fancy.
We are however taught to never judge a book by its cover,
but I think that dating websites and apps like tinder are the polar opposite of
this- you literally are judging a book by its cover, its cover photo. It’s an
addiction and normality that many youngsters have these days. I’m sure that
tinder isn’t going out of business anytime soon. Tinder may be accepted by our
generation, but this doesn’t necessarily make it right.
