How Risky Is Tinder's New 'Places' Feature?
Ever wish it was easier to meet someone new at your favorite bar or coffee shop? Tinder’s new “Places” feature wants to help you out.
In late May, Tinder announced the roll out of a feature that shows you potential matches based on public locations you’ve both visited. Places, which is powered by Foursquare and Mapbox, is currently being tested in parts of Australia and Chile, and Tinder plans to take it worldwide in the future.
Is Your Teen Swiping Right?
In the days before smartphones, dating apps, and constant internet connectivity, teenage couples would meet each other at school or through their friends, and communicate with each other primarily through phone calls (and maybe a few secret notes passed in class).
While today’s teens may still do this, modern technology has given them dozens of other ways to meet and contact potential partners, from social media and chat apps, to online communities and dating websites. Although Tinder does not allow users under age 18, there are plenty of other apps your teen may use to connect with strangers online, including using a fake birthdate to bypass the system.
Found Your Spouse On A Dating Site? Here's What To Do
Despite vows of fidelity on their wedding day, it’s not uncommon for married individuals to stray from their spouses. In fact, Statistic Brain research found that in 41 percent of marriages, one or both spouses admitted to physical or emotional cheating.
Unfortunately, technologies like social media and dating apps have made it easier for unfaithful spouses to seek out and have affairs. While a cheater may think they’re covering their tracks, that person’s partner could easily find out, whether it’s through an accidental glance at a phone or laptop, a friend who finds the profile and spills the beans, or a deep web search by their suspicious husband or wife.
10 Reasons Why You Can't Get A Second Date
Wondering what went wrong on the first date that didn’t get you to a second date is an awful feeling.
Even on dates that seemed to go well, your date might later tell you something like, “I just didn’t feel a strong enough connection” or he or she might completely ignore your attempts to maintain contact.
You’re not the only one to feel this way. There are common mistakes that many singles make on the first date without even realizing it.
Is It Worth Paying For Tinder?
If you’ve browsed for apps lately, then you probably noticed that Tinder is now the highest grossing app on Apple’s App Store.
The dating app just released “Tinder Gold” last week, allowing “Tinder Plus” users to see who swiped right on their profile without swiping right back, and this feature is obviously giving Tinder users what they wanted.
You might be wondering if all of the “extras” of a paid subscription get you closer to finding the perfect match. Well, you shouldn’t get your hopes up. Relationships are more than algorithms. But it is possible.
Dating Apps Match With Older Singles
Everything that is old becomes new again.
In the late 90s and early 00s, matchmaking sites eHarmony and Match.com dominated the world of online dating. They targeted love-seekers in their 30s and older – charging a membership of “$40 to $60 a month.”
Then Tinder came around in 2012 and turned the membership model on its head. Instead of having users pay a premium for a chance at love, Tinder launched a free app and relied on word of mouth for it to spread. With enough “swipes” later, a trend had begun. Tinder quickly grew a younger audience of daters, from “close-knit communities” to “nine million daily active users” and “one million new users a week,” according to the company.
