“One of the most popular phrases on people’s Tinder profiles is ‘I’m willing to lie about where we met.’”

Chances are if you’re a mid-twenties single living in Boston, you have heard of Tinder (and maybe even used it). Tinder is a no nonsense, easy to use dating app on your smartphone that allows you to sign in using your Facebook account—perfect for millennials. With the click of a button you can browse a catalog of people on Tinder that are near you, swipe right on a picture if you’re interested, swipe left if you’re not. Sounds pretty simple (albeit superficial) to me.

This little app has taken the dating scene by storm. Bloomberg Businessweek reported last month that Tinder is the “fastest-growing free dating app in the U.S.” making over “2 million matches” on a daily basis. That’s a lot of fish in the sea.

We decided to get the low down on Tinder by interviewing one of the dating app’s users. We talked with Meg, a Boston-based girl in her mid-twenties who works in healthcare right here in the Hub. She talked about her experience using Tinder, the type of guy or girl you’ll meet and whether this mobile dating option is really for everyone.

1. Out of all the other online and mobile dating options, why did you decide to try Tinder?

Tinder is an easy and popular choice for online dating because it is similar to shopping for individuals of interest based on appearance. There is very little rejection involved, and unlike other dating websites, no one can tell who’s profile you’ve looked at. Furthermore, unlike meeting people at a bar or singles event, it is easy to block or ignore anyone who makes you uncomfortable, simply pushing the “block” button.

2. Can you tell me about a memorable Tinder Dating experience?

The only person I have ever dated from Tinder struck my interest because we had similar jobs. He and I were pursuing the same type of career. He was extremely intelligent, polite, and a kind individual. Besides the fact that I was not physically attracted to him (which is ironic seeing as that’s the most essential part of Tinder), he was perfect.

At our first dinner date in Boston, I was so nervous about the sketchy nature of actually going on a Tinder date, that I forgot to read the full description on the menu and ordered a dish with meat—and I’m a vegetarian! I ended up taking two bites of my food and he thought I had a raging eating disorder for the next month that we dated until I told him I was a vegetarian and he put two and two together.

3. After your experience, would you consider Tinder a great way to meet quality guys?

The male population on Tinder is split in two. Half the population is just looking for a fun time, but willing to meet a cute girl if the opportunity presents itself. And the other half is seriously looking for someone to date. Since Tinder is a free way to find other individuals of interest, here are a ton of users. Of all my 300+ matches, I swipe right for every third person, I have met one person that I actually went on a date with.

4. What type of girl or guy would you recommend to sign up for Tinder?

Someone young, looking for fun, that isn’t going to take the app too seriously. People who treat Tinder like OKCUPID.com tend to be the ones that over message people and creep their matches out.

5. On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate Tinder as a matchmaking dating site? (One being the worst and 10 being the best experience.)

If you’re between the ages of 18-26 and looking for spontaneous fun, I would rate tinder a 10. It anonymously allows you to choose people based on their appearance while eliminating the fear of rejection. If you’re older and looking for a serious relationship then I would rate it a 5. Most of the population on Tinder is younger, which means it might be hard to find someone serious or ready for a mature relationship. Furthermore, no one wants to find their husband/wife on Tinder, the way they would on Christian Mingle.

After all, one of the most popular phrases on people’s Tinder profiles is “I’m willing to lie about where we met.”
