It’s meant to be a game….

Best app ever, it will never be bettered.

really? tinder, an app that brings randoms together for a shag simply cause they live in the same vicinity is the best app ever?
I am voting for medscape cause it helps save lives and wont give you herpes

Haha I’m gona come join your tinder free club if that’s cool with you bnd!? 
I’m quite happy in a long term relationship, (and if I was single.. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t use it.. I guess I’m just not into that kind of thing.. )(if it works for you, then hey, go for it.. but its definitely not for me..)

And that is why tinder is so good - all you tinderless people have made an assumption its about hooking up for cheap meaningless sex (that was my assumption at first too).
I’m sure some people use it for that, there are people looking for friends with benefits but want the seduction before establishing that relationship.
After a couple of months on tinder, and not getting laid, I realized it has a much deeper role.

Most people I’ve met on there are more interested in having genuine conversation and talking to people outside their normal social groups without the stigma of societies expectations (like sex), they want to engage in a normal conversation that has a flirtatious undertone.
I would never have the chance to flirt with a wealthy socialite who has a PhD in film and runs her own copyright business for global clients.
The single surfer hippie grandmother in her late 30’s.
A lonely 30yo mum, who is mad on snowboarding (used to be an instructor) but not wanting to date or hook up but needs a friend to go surfing with.
The list goes on and on and on.

I’m most surprised at how many stunning +40yo single women exist - truly stunning who easily put 20yo girls to shame!!
The fitness freaks who just need good company and quality conversation. Want to do a bit of flirting to boost their ego.
The troubled housewife who just needs an emotional connection and nothing more, so she can sustain a life with the man she loves.
The classy blue collar ladies killing time on the train on their way to work.
The skibum stuck in a city office dreaming about moving overseas.

Tinder is about making you feel better - it taps into the chemical factory inside all of us and puts endorphin production into overdrive.
Sure it’s hidden behind the veil of sex but it’s not about sex - it’s about being happy.

I’ve met some of my tinder matches and gone on dates with them.
Kissing someone for the first time is a thrill no-one should be ashamed of. Courting someone using the written word is a very traditional and romantic dating style - much better than getting drunk enough in a bar to summon up the courage to make a fool of yourself or fumbling around nervously in a cafe buying tasteless food because the waitress is cute.

Using tinder has cast my net wide and I realise the person I will spend the rest of my life with might just exist. She might be 1km away or 600km away.

It gives me daily, endless, genuine stoke. And an endorphin high better than any drug can match.

Happiness is the best medicine. Happiness saves more lives than medicine.

yeah, you keep telling yourself that

Yeah,  that’s a nice story spaz, and I’m glad you get such unbridled joy from it on the regular,  but nothing you’ve said has convinced me that tinder is the best app ever, which was my point.

And tbh, if it gives you so much stoke why didnt you just say that, instead of posting some image and acting all coy about it? Why not just shout from thr rooftop of the stoke thread that you loveeee tinder? Own it man

I used it for nothing but meaningless sex. If i wanted friends/connections i went out and made them normally.

But i can see how some people use it that way.

How does people who don’t use tinder making assumptions about tinder make tinder better? I seem to be missing something here…

anyways, I’m STOKED there’s only a few days left till the Melbourne grand prix!! Unfortunately I will only be going on the Saturday this year due to uni on Sunday but I am not too disappointed considering in 2 weeks I will be in Malaysia for the Malaysian grand prix!!
