Tinder Talk

- February 18, 2014

Love and lust are a mere swipe away with this simple to use dating app. It is a modern day, real life game of 'hot or not'. The prep school game just entered adulthood. Signing in through your facebook account, a GPS location finds recommendations near you, allowing you to socially acceptably stalk people between a 1-100 mile radius depending how close to home you want to go fishing. Whether its in a taxi ride to work, a cheeky sesh on your lunch break or a giggly girls night in, you can merrily scroll through endless dating potentials right there on your screen. A quick swipe to the left and that poor geezer has been well and truly veto'd, banished from your social cyber space forever. Hold the phone - quite literally - who is that devilishly handsome man sporting a rather nice washboard tum and where has he been hiding? A quick swipe to the right and you might just have the chance to start some chitter chatter with this chap. This rather savage 'liking' remains anonymous(thank GOD), instantly removing that embarrassment factor that he or she may not like you back. Only when a mutual right swipe of acknowledgement and approval has been given can you two love birds start flirting. A little shallow yes, but lets face it, who isn't judgy mcjudgason when scanning through the eye candy and talent at a bar. And who said romance was dead? The winter olympics in Sochi have been transformed from a shit storm to a sassy one, with atheletes announcing that tinder has fast become the winning sport. "You can take a ride in my bobsleigh if i can play with your ski poles?" One can only imagine what extra curriclar activities they are doing to keep warm and well entertained. With over 100m matches, don't go shunning this virtual cupid for your Mr or Mrs right could be a simple swipe away.
