Is Tinder Good For Meeting Someone? The Numbers Say No

Is Tinder an effective way to meet someone? You'd think so with almost 50 million active users and over a billion swipes per day. Despite its popularity, it may not be a good way to meet someone. Only 29.2% of users said they made IRL plans with someone. So if it's not that effective...why are so many using it? Only 4.16% of users are looking for a relationship, 22% were looking for a hook up; 44.44% used it to boost their egos, or, as they put it, "confidence-boosting procrastination". 29% said they were using it for "other reasons". These numbers are unique to Tinder, on other online dating sites, 66% of users have met someone. If you're looking for love, swipe left on Tinder.
