It's a match!

Holly crap. I installed Tinder to see how it works. I'm not fan of those kind of apps, but if I only go from home to work it will be very very hard to know someone.

So I upload a actual photo to my profile, set my real age, a short name, and started to see the photos that the app showed to me. I said myself "let's not do like or dislike, let's

Haha as you may recall, Cristina and I sort of but not quite met on Tinder. Tinder is definitely full of scumbags looking for hookups as I'm sure people have told you and I think I saw mentioned in a comment down below, but so is life! There are also serious real people on tinder as well you just gotta find them. My brother met his wife on tinder, I met Cristina. You just gotta get good at (A) discouraging the one's that just want a hook up from even wasting your time with a match or message; and (B) weed out the ones that will pretend to be looking for more just to try to get something out of you; (C) I feel like this list should have a C

I found there was a slightly different type of people on different apps. OkCupid is another one I've heard of a few successful relationships come out of. In the States it was good for people more serious about relationships ... here in Australia its just got the dregs. Plenty of Fish is big here. My good friend Billie was on POF and when we'd hang out it would amaze me the degree to which she was constantly getting messages on it!! Its definitely a different ball game for an attractive girl on dating sites. What I didn't like about POF actually was that anyone could message. I kept getting messages from people I wasn't interesting in (I'm really picky) and it made me feel bad.

There's also one called "Bumble" where only the women can message first.

You might have inhereted my tinder ghost. I _just_ killed off the paid acount I had, I didn't realize it had kept charging after I deleted it from my phone (I had a paid account to swipe in other countries after I realized I didn't think I liked Australian girls... which is how I met Cristina!)
