7 Reasons Why You Should Stay Away from Tinder ...

Tinder has quickly become a popular dating app, but this doesn’t mean that you should automatically hop on the bandwagon just because it’s a viral app; there are certain reasons why you should stay away from Tinder. Personally I don’t believe in intentionally finding love online, I am still an avid supporter of old school dating that involves meeting at a party, feeling the connection and talking the night away. Just think on these reasons why you should stay away from Tinder and give it a second thought!

Not Authentic

One of the main reasons why you should stay away from Tinder is because it is not an authentic type of dating. Technically speaking, you are forcing a connection with your own intentions already in mind! Truthfully, this is not very genuine. You shouldn’t be hunting for love and instead just let it happen, no matter how desperate you think you might be.

Catfish

Haven’t we already learned from several Catfish stories just how easy it is to create a false persona online? The cute, sporty, successful and confident guy you meet online may be quite the opposite in real life. It is too easy to lie to others and yourself when you are in front of the computer screen. So be careful because you might be talking to someone who is saying everything you want to hear just for a chance to meet you.

Can Be Dangerous

While on the topic of impersonating someone you are not, I want to point out that communicating with someone who is not honest can be quite dangerous. You don’t know what these people are capable of and, in this day and age, the Internet is not a safe place. So stay away from Tinder meet-ups in general or at least have someone else with you when you decide to meet for the first time.

UPD:

Tinder is a popular dating app, but it can be dangerous. It is easy to be misled by someone who is not honest and has malicious intentions. They may be using the app to scam people, steal their identities, or even worse, harm them in some way.

It is also important to be aware of the risks of meeting someone from Tinder in person. There have been numerous reports of people being robbed, assaulted, or even worse after meeting someone from the app. It is best to meet in a public place, or have someone else with you when you meet for the first time.

It is also important to be aware of the potential for predators on the app. Predators may be posing as someone else, or even as a minor, in order to gain access to vulnerable people. It is important to be aware of the warning signs of someone who may be a predator.

Additionally, it is important to be aware of the potential for catfishing. Catfishers are people who create fake profiles in order to deceive others into believing they are someone else. This can be a dangerous situation, as the person may be trying to gain access to personal information or even money.

Creep Factor

Some guys are huge creeps to girls in real life, so you can only imagine that the creep factor will be amped up to the nth degree when it comes to online dating. Plus no girl likes to feel like a piece of meat! So say ‘No!’ to Tinder to avoid such treatment from people you don’t even know.

You Should Get Back to Old School Dating

Oh, how I miss old school dating! It was so natural and exciting! There was none of the nonverbal communication you experience over the Internet; it was solely based on the in-person interaction and extra time spent with each other. And I think it’s time we bring it back!

Online Connection is Not Always Real

Just because you form a connection with someone online, that doesn’t mean that it will all be the same in real life. Online sparks are not always real because a lot of it is based on your own interpretation. So instead of getting your hopes up and then realizing that it was all a mistake, it is better to know what you are getting into by meeting someone in person from the start!

Tinder Hinders Real Life Interaction

Today our in-person interaction is already significantly lower than before, so we can’t afford to find partners in life through dating apps and websites. I am all for technological advancements but certain things must remain the same despite the changes made in our society, certain things like dating and meeting people in general!

Lots of individuals believe that their only way out of loneliness is online dating, but there is a time and a place for everything. Too many people are getting sucked into this Tinder craze, even teenagers who are not even of age yet! What are your thoughts on online dating using websites and apps like Tinder?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I met my boyfriend on Tinder. I got it to see what all the hope was about and he had it because one of his friends made it for him. Neither of us are the type to do online dating but yet we did and here we are. I do agree that there are people on tinder who are rude and gross but that doesn't mean that they all are that way. Don't be afraid to give it a chance, just be smart about it.

I use tinder, but my intentions aren't romantic. All my friends are off at uni, and so I'm here stuck in this town alone. I use Tinder to make new friends, to find interesting people to talk to. i have met up with two people and had an absolute blast. One guy I have been in contact with for 3 months now and have only met up once. I like him and that honestly scares me because that wasn't my intention. If aything comes out of the two of us, it'll be hard because it will be LDR unfortunately

Yeah this article should be pulled. This writer absolutely doesn't know what they are taking about. Try not to write complete b.s. next time.

I do agree that there is the possibility of catfishes or getting hurt based on alternate agendas but it is also a great way to meet and date quickly if your situation doesn't allow for face to face dating! It's really good as long as both parties are on the same page and careful

I met my boyfriend on an online dating website and it is literally the best relationship I've ever been in. This article is just nonsense. Some women are in situation in life where the don't interact with males that much and online dating is a great way to meet people. Yes some people might "catfish" you or be creepy but a lot of them are just nice genuine people. I hope this gets pulled.

I don't know who wrote this but it is clearly by someone who is in a relationship. Advices like "don't look for love" are not only annoying but also not realistic. Sitting at home is not going to help me find a guy. And yes, online dating, including Tinder, is part of our 2014 world. Plenty of people meet people online so don't judge something you don't know.

I met my boyfriend online and we have been together for nearly a year. We fell for each other straight away. No negatives there. I believe in getting over the past because we live in the 21st century :|

Hart Stay away from this site. If you have an issue with them you can’t call them on the phone you can’t email them but they will allow you to fax them. My gosh what is it coming to this is a horrible company with no people skills and they really don’t care about you. Simply put all they want is your money and they don’t want to provide any service for you. Stay away.

I think it just depend on what you're looking for. Tinder is generally for quick hook ups and one night stands from what I've heard. I know quite a few men who've been catfished and a lot of woman who've had the feelings hurt after giving the cookie up too fast. Online dating if that's what you call tinder is quite awkward. It's not to same as meeting someone and falling head Over heels for them.
