Why Tinder Is A Waste Of Time

PSA: No need to swipe left or right if you don't have Tinder.

Why Tinder Is A Waste Of Time
www.z90.com

Everyone has a Tinder; whether or not you would like to admit it, you totally have it or had it at some point. At first tinder is a new cool experience but then once you swipe through tons of people that you don't even talk to it then becomes a mindless activity that is a complete waste of your time.

Really, it is.

Do you even have conversations with these people? Or is it like a game to see what people you match with? After awhile of receiving annoying, vulgar, repetitive surface chat I feel like it is pointless to continue talking to random people since nothing will come of it. I don't know what the motive is of whoever is on the other side of the conversation but it's safe to say over half of tinder users are using it as a hookup app and not a "get to know you" app.

Oh no, you were swiping way too fast and you pass someone who catches your eye, plot twist, you have to pay for a replay of that someone. Why on earth would you want to do that? I could think of a million other things to spend my money on. How is that even possible to charge people for something so ridiculous. For users to be sucked into pointless apps is unacceptable and again; a waste of time.

Maybe if Tinder was actually used for its intended purpose it might be a decent app, but the audience ranges from sex crazed young teenagers to adults only looking for hook-ups and a quick chat. Not exactly what the consensus of the general population wants to do look up stats. I understand that it's my choice to download the app and I'm fully aware that I can delete it at any point but I'm trying to inform anyone who was thinking of getting tinder to think twice. There is a million other ways to meet people and Tinder is not one of them.

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.
