TINDER ’ S BROKEN BECAUSE I
HAVEN ’ T GOT ANY MATCHES
TINDER ’ S BROKEN BECAUSE I
HAVEN ’ T GOT ANY MATCHES
This is what an anonymous friend said to me earlier this week , and I say anonymous because they do not want to be perceived in a bad way . They dare to think what people might say about their ego if so .
On my quest to truly reveal who we are online , I sent a few of us on Tinder . Tinder is the flawless disguise us youngsters dream of ; our hyper-reality of Facebook profile photos exposed to potential dates in the hope we find ‘ the one ’. However to get to ‘ the one ’ we need to step through the haze of sexual predators and baked philosophers .
Two things I ’ ve learnt on Tinder ; a lot of us in Britain are looking for sex . It seems it is the one thing on most of the Tinder population ’ s minds . Once you get past this , I learnt that many people like to analyse your personality by starting a conversation with the most obscure questions . Is this the fastest way to reveal who someone is ? I would just like to say , this isn ’ t a job interview for Google .
Here ’ s a little snippet of what really happens on Tinder ; for so much for what happens on Tinder stays on Tinder .
Experience No . 1 ( Female User ) - “ I ’ ve only met up with one of them and he was lovely and we ended up just being friends and still talk occasionally now . Another one however , having not met me , still enjoys sending me pictures , videos and voice messages of himself all the time , to be more specific ; a video of him in the shower . In the voice messages he would call me ‘ a little mug ’ and said I was too innocent and that he wanted to turn me bad .... Also in one picture he was nude and the the only thing stopping me from seeing his bits was something in the way in the photo .”
Experience No . 2 ( Female User ) – “ The guy started the conversation with “ If your left leg was Christmas and your right leg was Easter , would you let me visit you between holidays ?” Gobsmacked is all I can say .”
Experience No . 3 ( Male User ) – “ I once had a conversation that started like this ; “ Your beard ’ s banging ”, “ Well thank you ”, “ If the world was just cowboys and Indians , what would you be ?”, “ A horse , because I ’ m hung like one ” She never replied .”
Experience No . 4 ( Female User ) – “ I was going to go on a date with a guy but backed out because I thought he was weird , so he unmatched me . I ’ ve had another guy start a conversation with “ Hey , I ’ m Tom , and apparently we are a match , therefore you must take me for a milkshake !” I never replied because I can ’ t remember liking him .
Experience No . 5 ( Female User ) – “ Sometimes people start conversations with stupid things , like “ I ’ ve got a gun ”, what are you supposed to reply to that ?” Experience No . 6 ( Female User ) – “ A guy started a conversation with “ You look too grumpy !” So I replied with “ A picture says a thousand words ”.
