It's worth noting that it gets used for different things in different countries. In Ireland, it's actually a dating app more than a hookup app, for example. I do think the author expected too much, and that Tindr is no substitute for real world socializing... which is sad, because that kind of socializing doesn't happen much these days in the US after a person leaves school. Unless you meet someone at work or at a bar, there generally aren't a lot of social groups to become part of.
