I am super-tired to write an extensive reply to your comment - and it is worth one - but I'll just say this for now and return to elaborate more once I have gotten some sleep: The mere "possibility" of getting laid with a right swipe on a small device your carry in your pocket, any moment you decide to perform it, and a couple of messages makes the cost seem smaller. Sure, the candidates against which you compete are now more, but still.
- benten10 11y agoI'm not sure I agree with you completely there. Tinder hasn't created a lot of 'I want sex, and I want it NOW' -- there's still a gap between communication and hookups, in general [here, I'll accept anecdotes as data, if you have more than few]. Now Grindr, that's a COMPLETELY different story -- I've known people literally do the 'parking garage oral sex' thing in a matter of an hour from start to finish. The general consensus seems to be that Tinder culture is nowhere near that. If you strongly believe the opposite, for good reasons, I'd reconsider my position though.
- sebkomianos 11y agoFirst of all let me say I'm glad my comment reached you, I am not sure how many people here get notified about replies to their comments. Now, I don't strongly believe anything but I wasn't implying that the smaller cost is because of the speed at which the "sex" happens. I believe that people consider it smaller than before because even with the regular dating sites you had to sign up, upload photos, fill in your profile details, etc etc, to even get something started. All tinder asks for is a facebook account and a couple of swipes (or maybe just one :D). Sure, a match might not end up as an erotic partner but at least there was something. Hope I made my point more clear.
