Perhaps one of the most common Tinder opposition, the fresh claim to glory to possess
Tinder is a popular dating app for mobile devices, in that it streamlines the dating process. It filled a huge void in the online dating community, helping to bring people together who wanted to cut to the chase – decide if they wanted to meet someone based on a picture – and that was it. It’s great for people who want to jump right in and start matching and communicating, rather than having to go through a bunch of soul-searching relationship questionnaires.
However, Tinder has some drawbacks. You can’t go back to previous suggested matches and re-evaluate them; you have to decide in the moment, unless you have a paid subscription. Its targeted user demographic is people under the age of 30, and the monthly cost of Tinder’s paid subscription service is doubled for users aged 30 and over. And some people are worried about the privacy implications of one of its newer features to share your local area in order to find matches.

Match is the sheer volume of its user base. Serving over 25 countries around the globe in 8 different languages, it had over 15 million active members and 42 million sign-ups in 2004… just imagine how much it has grown since then! Match’s profile-building process favors concrete aspects such as physical appearance, habits, and hobbies. Match is also rather expensive to use, and most of its useful features – such as viewing and contacting members who are interested in you – are locked unless you have a paid subscription.

Among the hottest new dating apps like Tinder is Happn, which bases your matches on the places that you visit. When someone else using Happn is nearby, they’ll show up as a potential match – including how many times you’ve crossed paths with them and how long ago they were in the area. (more…)
