Does any one use it? I have succumb to peer-pressure (I have friends who have found current partners on it). I am in my forty-eight hour period and I must admit, I'm having some fun.
Has any one used it and been on a date or hooked up with someone? How has that gone?

It's really popular here, as in pretty much every single person I know is on it, more or less. It's fun seeing a friend's housemate or whatever, and swiping to the right just in case you might match and hilarity ensues.
That said, I don't know how much it is about irl meet-ups for most. I basically use it because it's fun getting matches you find attractive or whatever, maybe having a bit of awkward chat and that's it. General consensus from the people I know is they use it like that, too.
I've had to quit though, I was addicted and it was starting to freak me out.

Someday I'd like to see statistics for crimes committed as a result these kinds of applications. I had an okcupid profile at one point and I never felt comfortable enough meeting people from that even after I had spoken to a couple of them for weeks, this stuff seems even worse than that. I don't have enough trust to fuck with this

law&order:SVU had a pretty damn disturbing episode based on these kind of apps, while i can see the appeal i also dont really understand them, the kind of people who would be successful in pulling NSAS with an app like that would imho also just be as successful with pulling NSAS by being a bit flirtatious in a cruise bar. that said, I used to cruise a specialized kink site for a while but i quit because there where not enough local people on it. i can see how a more kink orientated app like that could be useful, finding someone for more specific kind of fun can be hard.

I think in 99.99% of social situations you can tell whether someone is going to be a threat to you and if you meet up with someone, you don't do it in a non-public space.
But I would bet that these apps actually cut down on related crimes because you have access to their face and names and digital print. Tinder profiles are attached to your Facebook profile and you can choose, interact and block people without ever having to meet them or have any other contact with them.

You can still fake a Facebook profile though. I recently watched a thing on vice where neo-Nazis in Russia were using apps like these to lure out young lgbt people and then publicly humiliate them or worse abuse them and even kill them. You shouldn't ever trust anyone on the internet, even if they have pictures and a name, all of that can be faked very easily. On top of this I suspect most people aren't even suspicious enough to require such an extensive trick, I don't mean to sound like a Luddite but I don't think enough caution is being exercised with this sort of thing.

Yes, I saw the same thing. Teenagers were meeting people in secret, away from public places in a society that is hyperactively homophobic. That doesn't apply to the UK.

I think it's generally very easy to eventually spot someone who is pretending to be someone else

They were meeting at public parks in the video I watched. Maybe the UK does not have the same problem with hate crimes that the US does outside of big cities but if I were a young person anywhere outside of a major metropolitan area I'd at least bring some means of protecting myself if I were to try and hook up with someone from the internet. I'm sure everyone thinks they can pick out a fake, but chances are you can't, otherwise fakes would have given up on doing it by now if it were so easy for people to spot them.

I met up with a woman from okcupid once and it totally occurred to me that this woman was putting quite a lot of trust in me considering she really knew fuck all about me, especially when she came to my house. I mean sure she'd seen my okcupid and facebook profiles, but the names I use on both of those are quite obviously fake and I don't think there are even any photos of me on facebook (or none where you can really identify me anyway). Fortunately I'm just a paranoid anarchist with an insecure sense of self, but ya know, I could not have been.

In my experience and that of my lovers and friends, we have never encountered a problem.

Actually, it's really simple. Ultimately, how can you fake a Facebook or Twitter account beyond just setting one up? And with Skype, it's impossible to pretend to be someone else.
I don't really grasp what kind of internet you are talking about when you make these judgements. If you just sit in your house all day and chat to strangers without any real objective and never get them to verify who they are, then I'm sure it's difficult to spot and quite easy for people to fake, but then you're not really being responsible, are you?
If you want to verify someone's identity, it's very easy to detect when someone is bullshitting.

I've been meeting up with random internet people since I was a teenager and nothing bad has ever happened to me. You just have to be a little cautious, meet in public, etc. There are weird, scary people around but I just block them.

I signed up to a dating site after my last relationship ended, but was too shy to put up a picture of myself, so I haven't really checked it since the day I signed up. Been told to check out grindr, or whatever its called before, but I doubt I ever will. Never heard of tinder, but regardless doesn't sound like something that would suit me/my demeanor very well.

i've used stuff like okcupid before and been on a few dates from that. I find nothing normally comes from them because it's just difficult to find chemistry with people you've met online as expectations tend to be quite high (i.e. you meet them expecting there to be attraction) and then often there might just be no immediate spark.
Having said that i'm really fucking busy and work is really not a good place to meet people so i'll keep trying it.
The social and psychological dynamics of online dating are really funny, though.

I think you misunderstand the nature of the 'software.' It's not a solution to a problem, it's an additional means of achieving something. People don't want to have to go to bars and night clubs to hook up any more. Why would they? Most bars and clubs are shit.
What's the point of going somewhere that's usually really shit and expensive, that only happens at specific times on specific days and requires a great lot of hassle, when you can access an entire plethora of human beings from the comfort of your house, all of whom are looking for the same thing?
I just think this 'finding fuckbuddies online is so lame' schtick is just an anachronism now. It's happened. It's what is done. In the 1930's it was little forget-me-not notes. Now it's Tinder.
i think its quite shallow and superficial.
As opposed to what?

tinder's kinda different from things like okcupid tho, really. it's more a game that might result in hooking up than an online dating thing, imo.
also a lot of the people i know who use it - and i'm not including myself in this camp, lol - are really attractive and have no trouble getting dates irl, as i said before it's considered a fun sort of thing by most, nothing serious or a tool to fill a hole in their lives (oi oi!) but a bit of a laugh and an ego-boost.
i would say 'you can take it or leave it', but it's really addictive so that isn't really true.

It's more than just your name and face that is of interest to the state though; knowing who knows who is really valuable information. Employers and government agencies are interested in more than just criminal stuff too which people sometimes overlook; I've known people get in trouble with their boss, their uni or the DWP for facebook posts. Me and a friend have been meaning to publish something on facebook and security culture, we're both pretty frustrated at how irresponsibly some activists use it because you don't just jeopardise your own security, you jeopardise other people's security too with this stuff. Like people taking smart phones with them on demos, the fuck is that about?

If you are really worried about your identity on the internet then don't come on the internet. All the state would need to do to find out who you were was get your IP address, which is very easy. Even if you're trying to hide your IP address, it's likely you're not doing it well enough. As soon as you do anything on the internet you are traceable.
It's silly to think you can hide from the state on the internet, which you can't unless you're extremely proficient in online counter-surveillance and have the technology to back you up.
If you want to avoid the state online, don't come on line. That's the only way you will be untraceable.

Most of the intelligence gathering they (and it's not just the police either) do isn't tracing IP addresses and shit, it's just casual browsing of social networks and media. Obviously I can't hide from them if they really want to find me, but I doubt they're trying very hard to so I'm sure little things can help actually (and even if it doesn't, it doesn't hurt to do these things anyway).

Unless you're engaged in some clandestine political organising, I can't really see what purpose it serves to try and be anonymous on Facebook. And if you are involved in clandestine political organising then whomever you're doing it with should throw you out of the group for having a Facebook in the first place.
I think hiding identity and trying to obfuscate how you're associated is really an exercise in making ourselves feel better, rather than having any quantifiable effect on counter-surveillance. If the state wants to know who you associate with, they will find out.
And in any case, unless you're activity is clandestine, ultimately what difference does it make if they know these facts anyway? When a situation evolves in which combat with the state takes a serious turn, the information they've gathered of us from Facebook is going to be the least of our worries and probably not of much relevance to them anyway.

all this online dating stuff is actually quite depressing, if only for the fact that it reminds me how rare it has become for me to establish new meaningful romantic bonds IRL.

Presuming that, like most people, I find chatting someone up in a bar/club the most irritating and banal thing in the world.

If it was you, you have some serious issues...Most awkward tinder experience ever.
Aren't most tinder experiences awkward? From what I've read about Tinder I can't imagine them being anything else.

lol. What did 'I' do?
What you have to know about this guy, is that he is a professional rugby player for a northern team. From what I can gather he's clearly not come out. It turns out he uses tinder as a masturbatory tool, very evidently hunting out matches with blokes so he can fulfil his homosexual urges without much involvement, but then feels incredibly guilty and disgusted once he's finished. It made for the most awkward conversation. He also called me sweetheart, which was way off the mark...
I can give you his name if you want and you can look at him. I do feel kinda bad for the guy though.

Actually, not in my experience. I'm having some really awesome conversations with people.

last summer i had a job in a call centre and an absolutely huge rugby playing type decided to take a liking to me and was virtually (well, actually) sexually harrassing me. Luckily he left after about 3 days.
So no thanks. lol. :(

i thought it was a general thing and he was joking and then I said it to this other guy in the office and he was like "what? hell no"...then I realised. Felt pretty crap.

I fucking died :laugh:. Thanks for sharing that.
fuck fine ill make a facebook. Wanna be friends, revleft?
So you can discover my true identity? Nice try...
I have a tinder but I've never been matched with anyone. I've actually run out of people in my area without being matched. To be completely fair though my FB profile pic isn't me, or even a person. My other pics are from years ago and most of them are from my "emo phase". I doubt that it matters though. I'm still pretty gross.

It's good fun if you don't take it too seriously, brought me a couple of dates and a friend of mine got his gf via tinder. Good solution for us types that don't really like the dating process in bar's etc.

right so got irl tinder crossover here.
matched with somebody i know so i sent a message like 'hahaha, is this weird?' and have heard nowt back. i mean, worst case scenario is they didn't mean to swipe right for me or it was a glitch, but then you'd brush it off with 'haha, yeah, a bit...' and everyone would laugh. now i'm just like, did i commit a social faux pas swiping right for somebody i know? but then, presumably, they did the same.
damn, gonna be awkward when i see 'em next.

You've not done anything wrong. They're the rude one for ignoring you I that's what's happened. It shouldn't be awkward for you. But maybe they just didn't check back recently.
FYI, I am now seeing one of my Tinder matches.

she responded, haha, it's all cool. it hasn't resulted in a date (ffs!) but yeah... my worries were basically unfounded.
it's fun though. i've had some cool conversations on there with some legitimately interesting people.

Yay, Tinder!
Worst part about it is the constant assessment and re-assessment of messages or lack thereof, when most of the time all the thoughts you have are unfounded. Annoying.

I started out by actually only swiping right people I found attractive, and got some pretty nice matches.
Then I decided it was too much effort and just adopted a catch all approach, but when I get a match now i'm not really that motivated to say hey.
I'm shallow AND stupid. :ohmy:

Also i'm away for the weekend and want to do some swiping but I don't really want to swipe people from miles outside London.
