Match is joined today by the likes of Tinder, Hinge, Bumble, eHarmony and a thousand others, and in the digital world we live in, that stigma hangs on by just a thread. There's a "big three" for that age group in terms of the apps they're using: Tinder, Bumble and Hinge. The apps have found a recipe for success, to the tune of tens of millions of monthly users, thanks to their convenience. To find a potential match, all you have to do is swipe. It sounds simple, but people often have conflicting objectives when it comes to certain dating apps.
Tinder wasn't always a game for Williamson. They've been in two relationships in the past that started on the app, and both of them ended, in their account, poorly.
It was like a trap. Herein lies one of the perceived issues with Tinder: that it's too surface-level. While prompts can be incorporated into one's profile, photos dominate the screen, and it takes more effort a single, exhausting tap!
Dating apps like Zoosk, a more immersive and all-encompassing app, come with a price, but it's how year-old Donna Rose Harvey found the man she's currently dating. As it turned out, she only needed it for a week. For the younger crowd, Hinge seems to lend itself to those leaning toward a more serious potential relationship, with a wider array of prompts and a more accessible way of viewing them.
Williamson, who prefers Hinge over Tinder partly for this reason, has a curated profile including a poll, their irrational fear zombies! Waters is on Tinder and Hinge, but he's also used Grindr, Bumble and Boo, the latter of which is the least mainstream of the bunch.
