like I've known what tinder is IN THE ABSTRACT of course, but I've been in a monogamous relationship since before it was invented, but tonight I went out with two dudes and they were on their phones swiping left and right and making awkward texting flirtations all goddamn night, and I've only just really realize the GRAVITY of the situation I suppose, jesus christ what have we done, we finally really did it

I was actually acquainted with Grindr long, long ago. My good friend and roommate in sophomore year used it very frequently and had a revolving door of men coming in and out of the apartment. The difference of course is that Grindr serves a purpose in the gay community that it doesn't really in the straight community (because the baseline assumption is that everyone is straight).

I'm a big fan of online dating usually. Like OkCupid is great. I think it's a much better way of dating that meeting a stranger in a bar and finding out like two weeks later than you're totally incompatible on something. But Tinder is just weird and creepy.

If Tinder was a poster would you support banning it?

No, of course not. I would befriend him and defend from you and the rest of the ban brigade.
