The information background checks yield provide little nuance for life’s many mistakes and bad choices, from which none of us are immune. I’d definitely feel violated if I found out strangers were posting my name, photo, and phone number on a Facebook group to find out everything they could about me—but then again, I don’t think I have much to hide. “In 2013 my buddy hit it off with a young lady on Tinder. She lived in a college town about an hour away and he invited her out drinking in our city. He, I, and a dozen of our male friends were pregaming hard before a fraternity mixer.
Their business is reliant on our active, addictive behaviors. That, ultimately, their job is not to create matches, but — like other social media platforms — to encourage and create a dependency on the platform and even prevent us from successful matching. In other words, Tinder’s goal isn’t to create high quality matches that would inevitably drive us away from the platform. Platforms like Tinder seemingly serve an outlet for those with high motivation for romantic encounters, and Tinder perpetuates that need. College brings studies, co-curriculars and socialization; who has time for a relationship anyways?
I was ready to go, if you know what I mean... So I decided to take matters into my own hands and I took off all of my clothes. Then he sits up, still fully clothed, and looks at me, and says, "I can't have sex with you, I have a STD." Possibly most awkward moment of my life. I tried to be super nice about it, but I promptly got dressed and left. (And as many of my friends have pointed out, I am extremely grateful that he told me).
If you change your mind about that, you should update your bio. Seriously, you can edit your bio in real time. It is fully possible to have your bio reflect exactly what you want at any moment in time.
After a period of abject loneliness during lockdown, I reluctantly reembarked on my quest to find a mate online. But as a (German) person who appreciates brutal clarity, I initially decided I needed a better understanding of what the chances of finding a worthy guy online were, if just for shits and giggles. It felt like shopping for a rare antique vase. So far, I haven’t crafted, sent or received a single text since the dawn of 2018. I’ve nixed messaging apps from my phone and have eliminated social media notifications and alerts. We met up at a bar in Westport, a hipster alcove in Kansas City with lots of bars, even though Date #1 wasn’t much of a beer-drinker and simply copied my Boulevard drink order.
In short, nothing you do when on the app seems to go unnoticed. The app knows that data analytics is key to producing a more streamlined product, and they’re not shy about using it. Next time you see someone’s profile pop up, know that they’re being put there according to a very complex set of calculations. You've matched with that hottie with cute photos and a witty bio, and now you're in the enviable position of being able to talk to them directly. Don't rest on your laurels just because you know they've swiped right on you, though, as you can make or break the match depending on your approach. A lazy or creepy opener might even mean that they unmatch you, blocking you from any further contact.
There are plenty of other people you both can meet. So while the first few meetings with a new person can be exciting and exhilarating, your own safety is the most important thing to have in mind at all times. And remember, when an online match wants to meet up immediately, it’s OK to say no.
