Tindr and the future of dating
The internet has revolutionised everything we do; online maps and route planners make travelling easier than we could have dreamed, while the introduction of online retailers has made shopping cheaper and easier, while also introducing us to a whole world of products that we could never have imagined.
It was only a matter of time before the internet, and apps, would work their way into our dating lives. Tindr isn’t a dating a website; there is no “Men seeking women” and long explanation about how you like long walks on the beach and holding hands.
In this fast, modern age Tindr represents the pinnacle, for better or worse, of our attention spans and shallowness.
Swipe right for “Yes, that person is hot” and left for “No thank you.” If that person swipes “Yes” as well, then contact is made. No awkwardness, no averted gazes; confident, aggressive and fast. The internet age of dating.
