Online dating used to be far from cool. In fact, online dating was considered more difficult than actually meeting new people offline. You had to sign up for an account, complete your online dating profile and start browsing through thousands of other singles to find matches. Today, however, online dating is much simpler – and more pleasant – than that. Tinder and similar dating apps have transformed today’s online dating scene completely.
It’s Easy to Get Started
One of the reasons why more people are now looking for dates online is the fact that getting started with online dating is so much simpler. You don’t have to create your online dating profile manually. As long as you have a Facebook account, you can import select personal details automatically.
Tinder implemented this easy sign-up process nicely when the app was first launched in 2012. The app quickly became very popular in the US thanks to its ease of use and easy sign-up process. Thousands began to use Tinder to find other singles in their areas and many started new relationships almost immediately after.
Although signing up for a Tinder account is easy, you still have complete control over your personal details. You can choose which photos and information to display on your Tinder profile.
Location-Based Dating
Another great feature that makes Tinder very popular is location-based online dating. You no longer have to input the city you’re in or other search parameters. Simply set a radius and the app will start searching for singles in the area. This makes Tinder very flexible as an online dating app.
For instance, more travellers now use the online dating app to find new people to meet across the United States. When you visit Miami, you can find interesting people to meet in your area. As you move to another city or visit other holiday destinations, the app will search the predetermined radius based on your known GPS location.
Does the location-based nature of Tinder make it prone to privacy breaches? Not at all. Again, part of the reason why Tinder is very well-accepted is its attention to privacy control and security.
A Pleasant Dating Experience
The term “swipe right” is now synonymous with online (or mobile) dating. On Tinder, you swipe right on profiles you like. When the other person swipes right on yours, the two of you can start exchanging messages and communicate with each other.
The relatively safe dating experience is created – and maintained – mainly because two parties must like each other before the messaging feature can be used. Unless you like the person on the other end of the line, you don’t have to worry about getting messages from that person.
This system alone changes the way online dating looks in the eyes of singles across the country. The concept of online dating is now trendy – far from embarrassing – and is considered suitable for everyone. You might even meet your next partner on Tinder, especially now that there are more than 75 million people on the dating platform. Give it a try; you’ll enjoy the dating experience the app offers.
