Tinder And The Real Reason Everyone Is Using It

And why it is not okay

Tinder And The Real Reason Everyone Is Using It
Huffington Post

Let's go over the real reason everyone is using tinder and why it is not okay.

Tinder is a new thing that majority of college students or people in their 20's use but my real question is what do you get out of it?

Swipe left, swipe right.. take a minute to understand that.. this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard

And not to hurt any one's feelings that actually uses tender but it is nothing more than a local hook up app, in whatever town you are in you can find people in that same area as you

The truth hurts but I am here to tell you, our generation complains about the horrible relationships that we have allowed ourselves to get into or the horrible ways we are all treated but then we go and we download apps like Tinder and date or hang out with the guys or girls off of there.

A lot of the times you will hear the college stories about how they went on a trip and immediately got onto tinder to find all of the local "hotties"

Why are we searching for confidence from an app, how many swipe rights you got or how many "superlikes" you have gotten.

Us females have lost our minds downloading this app and letting ourselves be fully available to be hit on in a disrespectful manner or even worse a one night stand and never hearing from them again

We complain about the way men talk to us and the disrespectful direct messages we receive but are so quick to download something like tinder to put our faces and bodies out there to be seen and "swiped right on"

No, I am not saying if you have a Tinder that you are suddenly a bad person because you could be the greatest person walking but that doesn't change your intentions while using this app but we can not continuously complain about our generations dating compared to back in the day when we allow ourselves to be freelanced on sites like Tinder when we all know the intentions of guys and sometimes girls on Tinder is not to just sit down and have a cup of coffee or actually go on a well thought out date..

We are all so much more than a swipe on an app and I do not understand why that is so difficult for us to understand. You deserve the person you can go out with and enjoy life with.

Not someone that is just in the same town as you for the night, there is so many things wrong with that, know what you deserve.

Open your eyes and know your worth because I promise someone will see the beauty that you have inside and out and give you everything deserve but you will not find that in a Tinder site. Respect yourself first so others will respect you also.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
