Our conclusion for Tinder
Badoo Try out for free!If you happen to be single, and you haven’t yet ventured into using Tinder, then you had better step on it and get involved ASAP. ‘Tindering’ has become synonymous with dating in general in our modern, fast-paced world, and nobody could deny that it’s a very easy way to make connections and meet new people. However, a lot of people quickly discover that the majority of the time they spend on the app is completely wasted. As such, it’s a good idea to approach Tinder with the right attitude: see it as a flirting game, and yet make sure you’re selective with the people you actually arrange to meet. Have fun, keep your expectations realistic, and maybe you’ll find yourself setting a date with the future Mr. or Mrs Right.
Summary At the moment, Tinder is by far the most widely used dating app - not only in the UK, but also in several other countries worldwide. This success hasn't come without some controversy; it's been said that this particular app is aimed at those looking for one night stands, and that there is some disparity between the way men and women use it. Men are said to log in with the hope of finding a one night stand, while women are assumed to use Tinder as a first, simple step into the world of online dating, as a stepping stone towards finding a longer term partner. As such, there's little wonder that frustration and misunderstandings arise between the sexes - but despite this, using Tinder can be a lot of fun, and a pleasant way to kill a little time each day.

Chances of success
You have to take a moment to consider what, for you, counts as ‘success’ on Tinder. Some people are only after sexual encounters, other people are looking for something deeper. Considering this divide in people’s intentions, we’re going to define success as getting to know new individuals. The chances of this happening are very high indeed. If you’re looking for sex dating, there are better apps out there for you. In much the same way, if you’re after a serious relationship, there are many well established online dating platforms that may suit your needs better. However, if you’re open and up for it, you can have loads of fun using Tinder.

Fun factor
Lots of Tinder users develop something of a love-hate relationship with it. A potential partner is just a swipe away, but most people find they get swamped in superficial flirting and repetitive conversations, and this can grate quickly. However, no matter how annoying you might find it, most people find themselves logging back in when they have a moment free. As for fun…? You’ll have to make up your own mind!

Security and seriousness
To make the most of Tinder, you can’t really have any hesitations about connecting your Facebook account to a dating app. You also have to be OK with the reality of seeing your neighbours, friends and even family members pop up on your app screen at any given moment. There are few options for ‘hiding’ your profile. You can, however, rest assured that the company behind Tinder (Match Group Inc) are a sincere company, and they run several well-reputed dating sites such as OkCupid and PlentyofFish.
