TELEGRAPH.CO.UK – Aug 13 – Tinder is like speed dating without the awkward conversation, and with thousands of potential matches in the room. Tinder isn’t about getting laid or finding love at all, it’s about validation. People randomly indicate an interest in others just to see if they respond. There are pathetic souls who swipe "like" on literally every single person, and then tell their friends how many matches they have. There is science around this. Studies show that Facebook likes and retweets on Twitter give users a dopamine rush, making them feel happier. Even more tragically, there are people in relationships using Tinder, just to see if they’ve still got it.
