Is Tinder a good place to get friends?

If you think so, then you are, don't let others dictate how you are and get discouraged by them. Some people who are idiots or have low self esteem will try to discourage you to make themselves feel better, but don't let yourself being hit by these kind of things and stay strong and tall, with your head up, even if you will get hit.

 

NNOOOO. Why? poeple are judged by their looks and not how they are! if you not the best looking guy u will be swiped away. Unfair, because they may be amazing kind of poeple. They judge on ur pictures, so u most compete with all those 'pretty guys' to get matches. Not the fact that online dating is made for one thing only: THEY WANT TO MAKE AS MUCH MONEY AS THEY CAN!. They dont care if you get a match, this is why tinder and all this online dating bullshit is never gonna work.

 

I totally feel that--about being lonely and wondering if I should download that app. The truth is, and this is just my personal opinion, I don't think you should. Tinder is honestly a horrible app for getting to know people, just because of how it works. Like you swipe right if you're interested, based purely on superficial characteristics, and then if the person is actually not something you like personality wise (or whatever reason it is lol), it's so easy to move on to the next swipe, and the next one, and then the next one. Just to clarify, I'm not against dating apps, I just think Tinder and the culture around it makes it very difficult to form interpersonal relationships. Someone mentioned that Match.com is better, just because you have to do a lot more to get to know someone, so the interest is more genuine. Or there are other places online to meet ppl, though those apps aren't necessarily for dating. In general though, I think Tinder is just a place for temporary, ephemeral relationships that never really develop into anything?
