Tinder Or Timber?

How can someone be based on a swipe?

Tinder Or Timber?
News

Is this the type of society we live in when we allow a left or right swipe decide who we like and who we don't like? How based on interests and 3 photos we know that this is a person who I want to go out with? IT honestly makes zero sense.

No longer to people go to bars to meet people, or call them on the land line to talk to them and ask them out. Finding love and keeping it these days is all technology based and is that really the best way to find it?

So, my friends, I bring your attention to Tinder. Tinder, is the new form of finding someone haven't you heard! Based on a few pictures that are completely filled with every filter from Valencia to X-Pro II, and just a few sentences that seem like the person isn't a total psychopath you ladies and gentleman will find that perfect match! WRONG

Some relationships come out of Tinder but they don't really last. I myself have been on a few Tinder dates that have ended up not in a relationship because frankly, you don't know the person! Their Tinder profile doesn't tell you that they will completely ignore you in public and pretend they don't know you. The profiles don't say that they are 3 inches shorter than you, and seeing how big their truck is that they are really actually compensating for something that I think we all know what I am talking about.

So I ask you this, Should it be Tinder or Timber? Tinder my relationship finding friends, yes is a fun way to meet new people and to see who is at your college that you think is attractive. But Tinder is known for just hookups. Our generation doesn't want to be tied down, men and even women don't want to deal with dating. We all just want to sit behind our screens and talk to the person and have sex with them but when one gets the wrong impression that maybe they have a connection, they fall off the face of the earth and leave you wondering what the heck happened? People on Tinder want to have "fun", that is the word in the bio's that actually means hookup. For the ones that put in their bio's "actually looking for a real relationship", read that and run. They are going to be the people you talk with for 3 days and think you are going to get married, move to the suburbs buy a house with a white picket fence, have 2 children and live happily ever after. Last time I checked in 3 days I finally learned their favorite color and food, and even based on those things alone doesn't tell me if I want to marry them.

You really don't know the person behind the number or the profile. I'm not saying all dating sites such as eHarmony, Match.com etc are bad, just if you are looking for a relationship maybe Tinder or should I say Timber, isn't your best bet.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
