It’s hard to determine whether the guys who created Tinder are geniuses or soulless weirdos. For those of you that aren’t familiar with the online dating platform, here’s how it works. There are a bunch of pics stacked upon each other. You’re allowed to put up a few pics and write a couple of sentences about yourself underneath it. It’s the antithesis of sites like eharmony.com and match.com. Tackling the “about me” sections of these sites is like filling out paperwork for security clearance to the White House. Tinder is more like a game, seriously if there was a huge slingshot it would be Angry Birds. You swipe left if you don’t like a picture and right if you do. The only way you can communicate with somebody is if you both swipe right. On one hand you’re deciding whether or not you want to speak to someone based entirely on their looks which seems mean. On the other hand there’s no direct rejection so it can be less discouraging. We at Mensmagdaily.Com signed up for an account and also headed out to the streets of New York City to ask random people about their thoughts on Tinder. When asked what his general impressions of Tinder were, Richie, a 28 year old accountant said, “Tinder is awesome. It’s a hook up site, plain and simple. It’s rare that the chicks are actually looking to fuck too but on Tinder they are. I don’t mean to offend anybody but it brought the gay hook-up style to straight people and I’m not talking about old, unattractive, desperate chicks here. I’ve banged 9’s and 10’s from Tinder and after half an hour of texting.” If Richie is right sounds like a pretty good deal. We needed a female perspective so we stopped a 25 year old blonde cutie named Vanessa. We asked for her general impressions of Tinder and also what she thought of Richie’s comments, “Honestly, if you’re looking for anything for anything even resembling dating then you don’t want to use Tinder. I had it for two days before I deleted it. It was basically 400 guys asking me to have sex. I appreciate the honesty but I’m looking for something with a little more substance, maybe even dinner and a movie. But I will say this for the guys, you’re all in luck because I have seriously hot friends that have hooked up with guys immediately through Tinder and that’s not even their style.” She expanded on that, “I never really thought about that until now actually. I know a lot of girls that have done things that are very out of their character on Tinder. I’m not sure why, it’s not like it’s safer than any of the other dating sites, kind of strange actually.” We at www.Mensmagdaily.Com agree, it is strange. In fact, we personally know a super-hot porn star who has hooked up with 3 or 4 guys from Tinder. Let that sink in. You’re a regular guy, you’re playing around on Tinder, and an hour later you’re banging a hot and well known porn star. What the hell is so special about Tinder that it causes these magical hook-ups? MMD staffer Angie jumped in throw a little cold water on the situation, “You guys know how many women I interact with between my friends and all the women I have to network with. No self-respecting woman takes Tinder seriously. On several occasions I’ve seen a group of women huddled around one phone all “playing” Tinder meaning they were laughing at guys they found unattractive and talking about which guys were hot but at no point were they even considering speaking to one of them. It’s a form of entertainment and a guy would have to be an absolute Prince Charming for a woman to consider meeting him in person off Tinder. I know you guys want it to be this Xanadu where you swipe a picture and ten minutes later you’re getting laid but it’s not happening.” Several of the male staffers at MMD created profiles so we could see firsthand what all the fuss was about. We collectively got about the same response and it was fairly disappointing. We definitely hooked a few serious hotties but they were either looking for serious dating or didn’t answer us back at all. As far as having no strings attached sex on a daily basis, there’s good news and bad news. The good news is that yes it is possible, several girls even propositioned us. The bad news is, how do we say this diplomatically, these girls were less than appealing to the ocular sensors, how’s that? And I guess it is a bright spot that there were a few semi-cute chicks that were also up for it but they were few and far between. In short, Tinder can be fun but don’t go on there looking for the love of your life or a one night stand with a Victoria’s Secret model.
