Depending on where you live or what you may have heard, Tinder can have an awesome reputation or a pretty bad one. It starts off with a swipe right to "like" or a swipe left to "pass" on the people in your area. Despite that fact, Tinder is one of the most popular apps right now, and it's mostly used by college students. Here are the real reasons why you need to download the app right now if you haven't already.
1. It's just like any other social media.
The whole point of social media is to enable users to connect and share content with one another, and Tinder is just another app that allows you to do so. Not only can you chat with others around you, but you can also post/like pictures.
2. It will boost your self-confidence.
If someone likes you back, it's a match! You both have officially, unofficially established interest in each other. Besides, there is no denying that awesome feeling you get when you start to see all of those notifications rolling in.
3. There are decent people out there.
Weirdos are inevitable, but don't let that stop you. It is possible to meet super chill, friendly people on Tinder. Sure, it may seem otherwise in the beginning, but if you give it enough time you'll realize that there are some people out there who are just like you.
4. You're guaranteed a good laugh once in a while.
One thing that Tinder is most popular for are the messages. "Tinder Nightmares," an Instagram account dedicated to these witty or completely cheesy pick-up lines, has over a million followers!
5. If you don't find love, you may find a friend.
If your goal in downloading Tinder is to find a significant other and it doesn't work out, that doesn't mean you won't walk away with some new friendships or great experiences to look back on.
6. It will take your mind off of him/her.
Breakups suck, but Tinder is probably the fastest way to get your mind off of that one person who broke your heart. If you are still hung up on that one person and it's holding you back from living your life, getting back in the game will show you that there are indeed plenty of fish in the sea. You will soon be grateful once you have your attention directed.
7. You have nothing to lose.
If you find out after awhile that this scene isn't for you, at least you can say you gave it a shot.
8. It's plain fun!
At the end of the day, your adventure on Tinder is whatever you make of it. Interacting with and meeting other people can be so much fun and so rewarding. So what are you waiting for? Start swiping!
