Tinder is the best and worst

Yes I am a little late to the party, but I just downloaded Tinder about a month ago, and it has rapidly taken over my life. Let's look at some pros and cons because real sentence structure is for normies anyway.

Pros:

• can meet new people
• constant validation on your attractiveness 
• fun to sort through people like you're king of the world
• hookups whenever you want
• people watching
• funny ass bios
• your friends think you're cool because you have hella boys
• plenty of people looking for adventure, always have someone to take you somewhere
• you can see how nearby someone is
• no pictures allowed in app so no dick pics
• connects to Instagram and Spotify so you can learn more about how a person behaves on other platforms besides tinder
• so many hotties

Cons:

• fat chance of finding real love
• people will lowkey judge you for having Tinder
• If you do find someone you really like, you can't tell anyone you met on tinder
• objectify people based on their appearance
• Tinder uses a complex algorithm to rate people based on their "desirability," and then show's you profiles of people in your desirability league
• the CEO is kind of pretentious, or so I've read 
• sometimes it's overwhelming because so many hot people want to talk to you
• game like dating system seems mildly unethical
• most people are only looking for hookups
• many female profiles are fake, or so I've heard from male friends
• in-app purchases also seem mildly unethical (can pay to "super like" someone, or to undo)

To me, the pros outweigh the cons, but barely! I've been lucky enough to meet some really awesome people on the app, who I've ended up having connections with but never would have met otherwise. And, contrary to popular belief, while many people are just looking for hookups, many people just want friends to do things with, I've found. I suggest actually reading each bio and checking every person's Instagram out before making your decision, instead of "speed swiping." Often times a really hot person will have an irrelevant first picture to filter out people who aren't serious. Also, you can actually learn more about a person further than your first impression. Happy swiping!
