Love Me Tinder!

ASaturday night at home. Beer, banter and conversation. The gossip  veers, as it often does, towards my friends바카라� Tinder escapades. One tells the tale of how a man she went on a date once turned out to be a tantra-practising pseudo-yogi. Seemed alright in his profile, she says. But he actually fainted in the middle of the date.

Let me admit, barring the little fun I바카라�ve had with my friends바카라� Tinder accounts바카라�mostly swiping left every profile that popped up바카라�I바카라�ve never actually been on Tinder. The horror stories apart (the tantric-yogi tale is perhaps one of the tamest), I바카라�m put off by the effort it takes to make an appealing profile. And yet there바카라�s no denying that Tinder has taken over young India by storm (one of the biggest markets, clocking over 14 million swipes each day). With an easy interface that auto-picks photos from Facebook and lets you pick tabs that show your interests바카라�music, books, virtual-reality games, whatever바카라�putting yourself out there has never been easier. Of course, many call it a 바카라�hook-up바카라� app and a lousy way to start relationships. This, after all, is a society where dating and premarital relationships are still discussed more in terms of  바카라�Are you okay with it?바카라� rather than 바카라�How do you go about it?바카라�

Dating apps shout a break from this boxed-in binary, catering to the young Indian who바카라�s looking for more than a well-set marriage. For many, relationships no longer unfold in a pre-decided manner as they used to, nor is marriage always the ultimate goal of dating바카라�experience is. Tinder gives you the freedom to choose who you want to meet바카라�which many would have experienced before바카라�while also giving the act a sense of mystery. Even for the more conservative, the internet does not disappoint바카라�there are a score of new apps that 바카라�guarantee바카라� love and marriage. True, Tinder may not be the safest place to be in, but then which place is safe? To be able to set one바카라�s own rules for a date, or maybe a one-night stand, is perhaps all you could wish for.
