You might remember 3nder, the oddly-named dating app for finding your very own three-person sexy time party. Well it seems that Tinder, a dating app with a similar name, is threatening to sue the company behind the app.
As the original and most successful dating show, it’s impossible to launch a new iteration of the matchmaker format without garnering comparisons to The Bachelor franchise. Of course, many others have left their mark on our culture throughout the years (Temptation Island, Rock of Love, Dating Naked), but the producers…
I originally leveraged online dating to begin seeing average-sized women. Before moving back to New York a few years ago, I had only dated little women— i.e., women who were born with dwarfism. At bars or parties, my social anxiety, the kind that comes with being a little person myself, made it difficult to gauge an…
A man SFist has described as a “Tinder enthusiast” has been detained in Colorado and is currently under suspicion for allegedly murdering his ex-girlfriend and hiding her body in a storage unit.
Since the summer 2015 Ashley Madison hack, interest in tracing romantic infidelity online has surged. Now, with the launch of a site called Swipe Buster, doubting lovers can determine whether or not their partners are illicitly swiping on the dating app Tinder.
Dating apps come in generations. In their current incarnation, they comprise a collection of mobile apps in which a user decides if a potential partner’s face is good or if it is bad, and then swipes the face to the left (the toilet) or right (your crotch, hopefully).
Women who initiate the first move on dating apps tend to end up with better prospects (relatively speaking), according to a study by OKCupid.
Truth: Some people are hot, some people are not, and male pilots and female physical therapists get the most action on Tinder. The speed-lust app with a penchant for instant aesthetic judgments released the top-most swiped professions for men and women, and the results prove that, when paired with an intriguing photo,…
“Talk Bernie to me,” shouted no one ever on a dating app, and yet that is happening: a very small army of self-motivated young women are using Tinder, Bumble, and all the other hellish, spiritually depleting find-love-quick programs on your telephone to campaign for Bernie Sanders. What’s it like to be on the…
The existence and meaning of the “Bernie Bro” will continue to be contested by a bored and desperate political media, but the Tinder Berners, women who attempted to “take over” Tinder with messages of support for Bernie Sanders are for real—real enough that they’re now being banned from the dating app. But what if a…
After realizing she Tinder-matched with the world’s most hated pharma bro, Martin Shkreli, a woman named Jacklyn Collier says she went on a real-life date with him. Collier describes the rendezvous in detail on the Washington Post, and admitted she had a “pretty good time.” In the words of the great Denise Hemphill…
Sean Hannity, veteran Fox News host and apparent romantic, is not giving up on his dream of being the king of the conservative dating scene.
Ashley Terrill was in hiding the first time I heard her voice, splitting time between her Los Angeles home and a $600-a-night room at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. Terrill had locked her laptop and phone in a secret vault, and would only contact me on disposable phones—all because, she claimed, the estranged co-founder…
Tinder CEO and cofounder Sean Rad was recently profiled in the Evening Standard. It’s very funny!
Jennifer Thomas was trying to get over a breakup when she swiped right on a dude named Rich O’Dea, who was also nursing the wounds of a relationship gone wrong. The two went out and really connected. They connected so well, in fact, that only several short months after the date, Thomas is donating a kidney to O’Dea’s…
Everyone’s favorite mindless dating app is getting more serious. Tinder has recently made updates to both their profiles and algorithm in order to create more “meaningful connections” between users. The simple “swipe left” or “swipe right” is apparently not so simple, anymore.
A new parent is perhaps most sensitive to the milestones of getting older. It’s almost all you talk about with other people, and you get actual metrics at the doctor’s every few months. But the milestones keep coming long after babycenter.com and the pediatrician quit with the reminders. It’s just that we stop keeping…
The September issue of Vanity Fair features an indicting article by Nancy Jo Sales on Tinder’s effect on a hyper-efficient, often objectifying hookup culture, or, in one woman’s words, “the Dating Apocalypse.”
Lily Allen is reportedly on Tinder, but not for hookup reasons, nor to meet a man she’ll inevitably become disgusted with and go on a few dates with only to become FWB and then dump altogether. No, she’s just on there to meet cool peeps.
Tinder is introducing “Verified Profiles” so that famous people can use the dating app more efficiently and also be just as miserable as the rest of us in knowing that there are, at once, way too many dating options in their vicinity and not one person out there in the world who will love them unconditionally.
