With technology becoming such a big force in today's society, it's no surprise that online dating has become more and more popular. But, it's not just all online dating sites. Tinder's acclaim, in particular, has increased substantially, while sites such as "Ok Cupid" and "E-Harmony" have had the opposite.
Tinder is reported to have over 10 million people using the app daily, with the average person logging in around 11 times per day (according to a BuzzFeed article titled, "33 Facts You Probably Need to Know About Tinder"). It's pretty safe to say that Tinder is a staple in today's society.
For the skeptics out there, according to expandedramblings.com, a website that specializes in statistics on many of today's most popular apps and websites, Tinder has made over 10 billion matches and results in 26 million matches made daily. How promising does that sound?
Many people believe that Tinder is a great way to meet people nowadays, whether it be for friendship, a casual hookup, or even a serious relationship (although the latter tends to happen less often).
However, while Tinder may have its ups, it also has its downs as well. The number one complaint on Tinder seems to be that one's date in no way at all resembled their profile online, and, just like any other dating website, there are always creeps lurking behind the screen. There are many women who have plenty of stories to tell about the horrible things men have said to them.
So, this leads to the age old question...
Is Tinder really worth it?
