    Is this as widespread as the media says? and if you're using it is it as an ego boost or do you actually meet up with people?

    I met up with someone before, I had a really great time chatting with them but I had no attraction.

    I think it doesn't give you a strong enough basis for meeting up because it is just pictures you're matched by,not interests.

    Also,I knew within two minutes of the date that I wasn't feeling it but still had to sit out the whole date out of politeness. I had a nice time but I think online dating can be reaching around in the dark and hoping for the best. It isn't really for me, you can waste a lot of time chatting to people that two minutes in reality would suffice to distinguish if there is chemistry or not.

    In fairness that tinder and hot or not app is used by a lot of people just looking for validation

    I've met 2 women off tinder, one was a pain because she kept chatting about her ex for the evening and the other one was nice but we didn,t really click.
    Its hard to to judge what a person is like chatting on dating sites/apps. A ten minute conversion face to face makes a big difference.

    Although I am chatting to one atm who seems to have a similar sense of humour to me and good looking :D

    If you found out your partner was using tinder would you consider it cheating?

    On an aside, if your partner watched porn and you were fine with that, would you consider live sites a step too far or pretty much the same, i.e. no big deal?

    Spotted an engaged girl I know on it.

    As the old saying about marriage goes.... if you've tindered then you've sindered.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,692 ✭✭✭✭castletownman


    I saw a woman on it once with a few pics of her kids, her husband, and one of her lying seductively on a bed, with the tag line "when the hubby's away, the <her name> will play"

    Biatch never returned my like though!

    Yeah, that's sufficient proof of cheating, for me. No trusting their explanation after that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,448 ✭✭✭✭Cupcake_Crisis


    I don't know if id consider it cheating, but id be extremely annoyed and would think they had intentions of cheating.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,027 ✭✭✭sunshine and showers


    If I found out my boyfriend was on Tinder, I'd be píssed. If I found out my husband was on Tinder, I'd be looking at divorce lawyers.

    Intentional joke?

    Or ar least interest in cheating.

    Either way, a severe problem in the relationship.

    If they're only doing it for the validation, they'd want to talk to someone about that.

    i have a gay friend on grindr, and his boyf is on grindr. we were at dinner once and they both pull out their phones and start, uh... grinding other guys.

    My da trolls on tinder.

    I occasionally use tinder, but I prefer firelighters.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 34,809 ✭✭✭✭smash


    Married and using tinder is probably the dumbest thing someone can do given that it connects to fb and its location based. Sure you're bound to see friends and friends of friends. Anyone who does it and gets caught deserves it.

    Make a second fb profile, don't ad your OH, their friends or anyone that would shop you, add nightclubs/DJs/promo models until you have more than 50 friends, allowing you to pass the automatic tinder check for fake profiles, add only your best pics to your fb profile, obviously nothing featuring your OH. Do some tindering, then unlink tinder to your fb profile once you've got a few numbers.


    Or so I've been told....



    That's true, but I was only in there to get directions on how to get away from there.

    I know a couple that were on Tinder trying to beat each other in matches, rule of the game was there was no chatting allowed. Using it behind someones back though is a definite no go!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,296 ✭✭✭dinorebel


    That's why you set up a fake Facebook account, fake name and fake pic. Send them a real pic when they already like and explain that you "like your anonymity" or that the spark is gone in your marriage and you agreed with your spouse that both can seek sex elsewhere.
    Is that why you set up a fake account to post that.

    I thought Tinder was some new chocolate bar.

    It's a different treat you'd be getting.

    I personally would not use Tinder while having a gf or a wife but you know what, there are all kinds of people and all kinds of relationships so anything goes I suppose.

    Still location based. So if you OH's friends or your friends have it and they're within a certain range then you could pop up on their screen.

    I don't use it because I actually have a girlfriend and we have sex already.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,738 ✭✭✭Jay D


    People who think otherwise are stupid imo.

    What's Tinder for? Dating.

    If your OH is on it are they cheating? Yes. Or they want to.

    No other reason to be on it.

    Oh except for other stupid cúnts who go on and have something like, have a gf/bf so not interested in dating... Whatever.

    I have not used tinder and dont have facebook. But are there actually people who set up a tinder account and say "not interested in dating as have a bf/gf"? Really? :pac:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    I don't think being on tinder is cheating. Messaging somebody on tinder is a different kettle of fish.

    I wouldn't get rid of my Tinder account if I were in a relationship. I just wouldn't message anybody (not that I bother messaging matches anyway).

    It's just window shopping for me. I don't even want to try the clothes on.

    Kinda does. People need to be told that t'internet is a part of the real world.

    Just another extension of the complete narcissism which seems to be acceptable nowadays. Imagine being 70 and your grandkids reading the retarded vain sh1te you put up in your 20s, 30s and 40s?

    Which is why you unlink your profile and don't leave it up for a week
