Tinder didn't invent the swipe-right-to-like!!

Tinder didn't invent the swipe-right-to-like, swipe-left-to-pass action it's famous for (credit goes to Grindr , the location-based app to let gay men find each other by proximity), but the free app certainly gets the nod for making it mainstream.

It's right there on the site: "We don't claim to evaluate you perfectly, but we do claim to find someone who claims to fulfill your claimed requirements, exactly." Plenty of Fish - which claims to have 90 million users and be the largest dating site - is also free, though a paid upgraded account earns perks like showing up more prominently and nixing ads. Online dating has made dating very superficial; the picture on users' profile may cause someone to match or not match before even getting to know their personalities. Tinder is a location-based application that filters the matches according to the location of the user; user's are able to choose the maximum distance they want to focus their search on. They are also able to filter down matches by age and gender.

Keyword Search and Filters -- If you want to quickly find users based on specific character names or keywords, you can use the keyword search at the top of the app and get results in a matter of seconds! If you're looking for a quick ego boost or (if you're lucky) a hookup, Tinder or Happn might be the way to go. But if you're looking for a dating app with myriad features, a social network feel, and an invested user base, go for OkCupid. The bad thing about Tinder is that it's so superficial (only showing photos of a person by default) that many times people just try to game the system by swiping right on everyone to get the most matches possible and then just start chatting to the ones they only really find attractive.

You can outlook photos of singles near you, search for single men or Single women, get handpicked matches delivered every day. The Match app has more good singles than any other dating site and can help you meet new people wherever you are. Pros: Once you get over the slight stalker complex Happn instils on you by showing women who walked past your front door an hour ago, matching with users within a 250 meter radius is actually quite handy.

Research has revealed that there are 50 million active users on Tinder who check their accounts 11 times per day and spend an average of 90 minutes per day on the app, reported Marie Claire. Although it is free to post a profile on Match, which pioneered online dating when it launched in 1995, the site charges a subscription fee to users who wish to contact another member. Topline profits down 80% for the dating site as more internet daters opt for mobile-based Tinder and other free apps.

Users, who need a Facebook account to create a profile, can upload up to six profile photos and scroll through recommended matches from your area.
