Tinder

One of the hottest trends for the younger generation has been Tinder. It is a dating site that can be easily accessed on your phone and primarily focuses on physical looks. Up to five photos are added and your potential matches can either swipe left or swipe right to accept or deny you. So my question is...is this physical attraction based dating site going to be successful? For now, it is seen as a 'hooking up' site by college kids, young 20 year olds and even middle-aged adults.

Before, dating sites were seen as 'lame' or 'embarrassing' by the younger generation. Dating websites seemed a last resort for young people, such websites as Match.com and Eharmony. Tinder is a hip website that invites everyone to join by free membership. I love how people now talk openly about being on tinder, rather than hiding it. We have yet to see what will happen, but my two 20 soething sisters are both registered on it and have had fun dates that have evolved from it.
