In the last 10 years, I've noted when couples mention that they met on Tinder. It's getting to 50% ! This isn't necessarily married couples, but established relationships (1yr+), nonetheless.
- flerchin 2y agoI don't doubt that this could be true. I also don't doubt that your comment could have been generated by a tinder-bot.
- jefftk 2y agoWith hundreds of reasonable non-Tinder related comments going back to 2018? https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Supermancho https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=Supermancho
- hollerith 2y agoI agree that the comments are too high in quality to have been generated by a bot. Also, no mentions of Tinder in any of the other of this last 30 comments.
- cko 2y agoI met my wife on Tinder. In some countries Tinder is less a hookup app and actually a dating app.
- senordevnyc 2y agoI also met my wife on Tinder. Although to be fair it was initially a FWB thing that quickly turned into more.
- highcountess 2y agoAre you saying that when couples note how they met without being prompted, it is approaching 50% total over the last 10 years? That would imply that there is a significant increase currently over 10 years ago when you first started noting this matter in order to get close to 50% now. I also have to assume that a factor that would need to be investigated is whether it isn’t simply that people who met on tinder like telling people that for some reason, possibly because they are the transgressive, rotating door, “hookup culture” types that would have a proclivity for using something like Tinder.
- Supermancho 2y ago> Are you saying that when couples note how they met without being prompted, it is approaching 50% total over the last 10 years? I was not specific about when I asked or if it was unprompted. I qualify that the relationship has to have begun <10 years ago.
