Tinder
Tinder is a shitty app created for the desperate and pathetic who are unable to get a date or even some pity sex from that fat friend you have. It gathers personal information (i.e. horny, hopeless, getting back at daddy, need to test new handgun on live target, etc.) and matches you up with similar users in your area. It's also utilized heavily by trolls and rapists, albeit for different purposes. It's male userbase consists of sad men looking desperately for action as well as self described "alphas" looking for loose women while it's female userbase consists soley of whores.
Standard Tinder Operation
Tinder works by pairing up your Facebook information with that of another and giving you a list of potential matches. You then look at their profile and then swipe right on the screen to like or left to pass. If two users like then it connects you for chat. But what happens if you accidentally swipe left when you meant to swipe right? Fuck you, that's what. You can never see that person again. They could have been your one and only chance for love, and you just fucked it up, dumbass. The schemers at Tinder know you want to avoid this, so if you want to enable the "Rewind" feature they make you start handing over your monies for Tinder Plus.
Tinder Plus
In March 2015, Tinder realized that a lot of its users were using the app for purposes other than intended, and also that the advertisements that kept the service in business were peanuts compared to the mass amounts of jew gold they could rake in by requiring payments to enable certain features (some you got before for free). Tinder's response to these revelations was to impose a number of limitations unless you subscribe to what they dubbed "Tinder Plus." Basically, you're limited in the amount of swipes you can do within a 12-hour period with the free version, and so you're fucked if you go over your limit unless you dole out money to purchase Plus.
The funniest part about Plus, however, is the pricing: it's $9.99 for people under 28 and $19.99 for people over 28. See, Tinder is well aware that people 28 or younger have other dating options and use Tinder only for fun. But anyone over 28 who is using Tinder is pathetic and desperate, because they've been trying and failing to get dates for a decade or more, and they're either worried that what little hair they still have will be gone before finding a mate, or that they will die childless because their ovaries will have become atrophied husks before anyone ladles out the baby gravy. So if you're an over 28 Tinder Plus user and you still can't find another graying, wrinkling, desperate partner, you may wish to consider your other options.
Typical Tinder Date
You may be able to match with someone if you're male and also pay for Tinder Plus or are female and also are female, in which case your experience will be as follows:
- After finding one that looks good and chatting for a bit, you'll both pick a spot to meet
- It'll be a public, semi-crowded place which is safe but also makes conversations really awkward
- And ya still gotta put aside an evening to get ready and to meet 'em
- And, when you meet, you'll realize that all the pictures were shot at deceptive angles at best and just fake at worst
- And, if that's not a deal-breaker for your desperate ass, that he/she failed to mention multiple obvious problems
- And when you finally get up and leave, that liar acts like you're one in the wrong, maybe even shouts at you in front of everyone as you leave
- But, on the bright side, you don't feel embarrassed or even disappointed at this point on account of not feeling much of anything now, which is a plus
- You're just asking yourself more and more, why do I even try?
And, after another disappointing attempt to buy a used car online, you'll go to your Tinder date in a bad mood so it also sucks.
Tinder Success Stories
Warriena Wright
Warriena Wright was a clueless New Zealand woman who apparently didn't realize that she was hot enough to have no need for Tinder. She met a gentleman by the name of Gable Tostee who, after giving her what people sign up for Tinder for, decided that Ms. Wright's good looks would be of better use smeared all over concrete, and so he chucked her ass out of a 14th story window (archive). As it turns out, the last moments of her life were being recorded, and the police released a full transcript of her final moments. Another victory for social media.
Lolsuits
Sexual Harassment
In a turn of extremely ironic events for a company that makes a dating app they claim is safe for women, Tinder co-founder Whitney Wolfe sued the company due to sexual harassment by fellow co-founder and butthurt ex-boyfriend Justin Mateen. When Wolfe complained to company CEO Sean Rad, he did the only logical thing and demanded her resignation, because obviously there is no chance of that blowing up in his face. However, Wolfe had actually saved all the texts between her and Mateen and Rad, and in an unexpected move, the court released the caps to the public. Naturally, Tinder and its parent company collectively shit their pants and immediately decided to settle. This resulted in a $1,000,000 settlement for Wolfe, Mateen leaving the company, and Rad stepping down as CEO. A choice selection of the lulziest screencaps are presented below, in which Mateen refers to "middle aged Muslim pigs" and Rad warns her "Shut it. I'll come get you".

Cash Grab
In response to the above mentioned introduction of Tinder Plus, one brave Floridian named Billy Warner decided to take a stand against Tinder's obvious cash grab and filed a class-action suit (inviting literally anyone else pissed to join) claiming that the customer base was maliciously tricked when a formally free app started asking for money to unlock certain features and that this is sinister false advertising. Of course, most people who aren't fucktards or just trying to pull their own cash grab would just say "fuck this" and go try and get a real date or use a different app or website. However, some argue that Warner is actually a master IRL troll and that this entire class-action is being orchestrated for the lulz. If this is the case, it is encouraged that everyone join in this cause for great justice.
