| * TINDER is: Online dating app, more or less used as a hook-up/casual sex app but is also used in a serious way.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| *'''How does Tinder work?'''
| |
| *Finds your location using GPS
| |
| *Uses your FB information to create your profile
| |
| *Tinder profile is made up of your first name, age, photos (max 6) and any pages you've liked on FB
| |
| *Allows you to have a short bio of max. 500 words, and allows you to show your education and occupation
| |
| *Tinder then finds you potential matches near you, you can narrow this down by age and distance
| |
| *Swipe right to like, left to pass/dislike
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| *'''Tinder updates:'''
| |
| *Collaboration with Nation Health Service (UK) in donor registration awareness through profiles of celebs (sort of advertisement) in december 2015. When you encountered a profile of them and swiped right a message popped-up saying '''If only it was that easy for those in need of a li'fe-saving organ to find a match'''.
| |
| *Celebrities are more and more active on Tinder. '''DiCaprio''': ''Obsessed with swiping on girls and seeing who's out there''. '''Duff''': ''I think the first thing is obviously looks, which sounds super vain, but that is what you first go for: natural chemistry. Also what they say in their profile has to be funny. I don't want to see a shirtless mirror selfie. That is instantly left. Someone who looks like they like to do fun things and someone who can make you laugh in their profile''.
| |
| *Possibility to send GIFS
| |
| *Linking with Instagram, which allows you to see the 34 most recent snaps of a potential date.
| |
| *'''Article 2:'''Super Like: to differentiate between just a like and a super-like. This 'like' is an upward swipe that a person will see before the make a decision of swiping either left or right. You can do this once per day, so your potential soulmate will know it is really real. This function is an answer to the frequently cited anecdotal evidence that all (straight) men on Tinder just swipe right on everyone, hoping against hope that they'll land a match. According to a report from the New York Times, men are three times as likely as women to swipe right on any given picture.
| |
| *New algorithm that shows you candidates of which Tinder thinks you might like. This is based on previous/past swipes - verify source: http://techcrunch.com/2015/11/11/tinder-matching-algorithm/

| '''Notes''':
| |
|
| |
| *Location-based dating, communication between matched users
| |
| *Launched in 2012
| |
| *Among the first swiping apps
| |
| *Founders: Rad, Badeen, Mateen, Munoz, Wolfe, Moorjani, Gylczynski
| |
| *Acoording to founder Rad Tinder's impetus (drijfkracht) is to link people together that don't know each other, but of whom you know that both are looking. In a bar for example you might be looking but the other people in a bar might not. On Tinder everybody is looking. It works 2-ways.
| |
| *Founder Mateen stated: That the app ws intended to be a chance to meet people you wouldn't normally meet.
| |
| *As of october 2014: 1 billion swipes per day, 12 million matches a day, users spend 90 minutes a day on the app.
| |
| *Introduction of Tinder Dates
| |
| *First Swipe app
| |
| *In 2015 introduction of rewinding, Tinder Moments (retired on 11-2015), verified profiles for public figures.
| |
| *October 2015 introduction of super likes, users are three times as likely to find a match.
| |
| *As of late 2014, 50 million people use the app every month with 12 million matches per day.
| |
| *As of april 2015, 1,6 billion Tinder profiles, 26 million matches per day.
| |
| *8 billion matches have been made since Tinder launched in 2012.
| |
| *Review New York Times: The wide use of Tinder could be attributed not to what Tinder was doing right but to flaws in the models of earlier dating software, which relied on mathematical algoritms to select potential partners. Relationship experts interviewed by the newspaper stated that users used the photographs that come in succession on the app derive cues as to social status, confidence levels and personal interests.
| |
| *As of june 2015, 68% of Tinder users were male and 32% were female.
| |
| *CONCERNS: The impact it has on men's psychology, when there is a perceived surplus of women, the whole mating system tends to shift towards short-term dating where there is a feeling of disconnect when choosing future partners.
| |
| *Nancy Jo Sales wrote in Vanity Fairs that Tinder operates within a culture of users seeking sex without relationships.

| |
| *RESULT: majority of its users, wether female (56,2%) or male (72%), were uploading similar photographs with outfits that didn't exactly make them stand out, they wear neutral colors.
| |
| *Black most popular, followed by white, blue and grey.
| |
| *Clothing is an important way for individuals to provide signals to prospective matches. They can give signals of masculinity or femininity. A profile picture provides an important glimpse into an individual's personality, it helps to tell the story who you are (Jessica Carbino).
| |
| *Gender-specific for example dresses. Males and females show preferences for gender-specific clothing.
| |
| *To stand out, wear non-neutral colored clothing and less gender-specific clothing.

| '''Notes''':
| |
|
| |
| *What someone wears, along with other visual clues given off in photographs, can tell a thousand different things about them. According to Tinder this is the key to online dating.
| |
| *Online dating sites have been longer around, they haven't come close to the popularity of Tinder. Scientists and relationship specialists who study online dating suggest it isn't Tinder doing correctly, but rather what earlier dating sites have done wrong. Services like eHarmony, OKCupid and Match.com have proclaimed that their proprietary algorithms could calculate true love, or that match equations could somehow pluck two strangers to live happily ever after. That appears to be more fiction than fact.
| |
| *All that matters, at least in the beginning of a relationship, is how someone looks.
| |
| *Dating sites have long, extensive questionnaires. Tinder doesn't believe in this. This is not how we meet people in real life.
| |
| *People evaluate photos of others on physical level AND social level. Do I have things in common with this person? Which visual cues are here in play like clothing, posture, facial characteristics etc (Jessica Carbino, Tinder's in-house dating expert).
| |
| *Men 3 times more likely to swipe right (46%), women (14%).
| |
| *Rad: photos convey many signals about who somebody likely is.
| |
| *Computerized matchmaking sprang up in the mid-1960s, promising computer-guided mathematical equations that would help people find true love with a sprinkle of ones and zeros. In 1966 The Toledo Blade noted an article describing a Tinder-like predecessor called 'Pick 'em cuter by computer'.
| |
| *Now computers incalculably smarter, yet the discussion from independent scientists is if these computers and their algorithms can actually provide matchings. According to dating sites they can help people fall in love with their algorithms.

| '''Notes''':
| |
|
| |
| *Tinder releasing a new matching algorithm as well as new profile and messaging features.
| |
| *The new algorithm is meant to look at more data points as a user swipes left and right.
| |
| *Tinder statement Ryan Ogle: With the updated algorithm, machine learning technology assesses and interprets the signals sent by our millions of users. With our ears even closer to the ground, we provide users with the most relevant potential matches to result in more meaningful connections.
| |
| *How does it work? Are added datapoints that measure how many times someone swipes through a particular profile, how long spend looking at a picture? Answer Rad: Tinder is adding both technical and informational data points, and that the algorithm change isn't just about new data points, but how those things are ranked against one another depending on the user. Beyond that, he wouldn't share anything definitive.
| |
| *Adding of information about work and education. Goes against the comparison of Tinder as being the same as meeting somebody in a bar. Only physical information is then available.
| |
| *With the improvements users now have the opportunity to make more informed decisions, it may influence how much they swipe based on more detailed level of information presented with each potential match. Tinder doesn't want you to swipe right too much.

| |
|
| |
|
| |
| *These new features could help increase engagment in Tinder's app, allowing users to spend more time texting and perhaps with less pressure to switch the conversation to sms, something a lot of women in particular are hesitant to do ahead of meeting someone in person.

| '''Notes''':
| |
|
| |
| *In bars (etc) everybody is Tindering. They are out looking for Hookups. Swiping on the faces of strangers they may have sex with later that evening.
| |
| *Arranging more than one option per night.
| |
| *In a bar you can maybe just meet a few girls, with dating apps you can meet hundreds of girls a day and it cost you nothing. The sample size is so much larger. It is a numbers game.
| |
| *Tinderellas - girls you slept with whom you met on Tinder.
| |
| *Dating has become so easy - dating apocalypse.
| |
| *Hookup culture always existed, yet when collided with dating app is went into 7th gear.
| |
| *(Heterosexual) Mating changed so much due to the introduction of the internet.
| |
| *Before meeting through proximity, family, friends, but the internet surpasses that.
| |
| *Mobile dating is overtaking online dating now.
| |
| *Online shopping
| |
| *The swipe was key. The flick of a finger on a picture, no more elaborate profiles necessary and no more fear of rejection; users only know wether they have been approved, never when they have been discarded.
| |
| *Instant gratification; you see some pretty girl and you swipe and it is like oh she thinks you are attractive too. It is really addictive.
| |
| *Hookup culture; is it good for women? It can give freedom and confidence to women, but on the other hand the casualness of sex in the age of Tinder leaves many women feeling de-valued. Does it destroys woman's self-image?
| |
| *It is the very abundance of options provided by online dating which may be making men less inclined to treat any particular woman as a 'priority', according to David Buss. Apps like Tinder and OkCupid give people the impression that there are thousands of potential mates out there. One dimension of this is the impact it has on men's psychology. When there is a surplus of women, or a perceived surplus of women, the whole mating system tends to shift towards short-term dating. Marriages become unstable. Divorces increase. Men don't have to commit, so they pursue a short-term mating strategy. Men are making that shift, and women are forced to go along with it in order to mate at all.
| |
| *---> this strategy seems to work for women as well(?).
| |
| *Dating apps changed the way that dating happens. We don't know how to talk to each other face to face. You form your first impression based on a profile rather than forming a connection with someone.
| |
| *Hookup is a game in itself (Dating too).
| |
| *Double standard:for guys it is perceived differently to have multiple sex partners (gorrila), girls are perceived as sluts. They get judged.
| |
| *Female 'friendly' apps ---> Bumble (created by co-founder Tinder Withney Wolfe).
| |
| *So where is this all going to? Can men and women ever find true intimacy in a world where communcation is mediated by screens, or trust, when they know their partner has an array of other easily accessible options?
