PSA: Tinder Social is outing you to your facebook friends
09-02-2016, 07:39 AM
I thought of writing this in the Tinder thread but it might just get lost between the messages.
So...this new Tinder Social feature is outing you to your friends now.
When you try to form a new group it shows you a list of people and you can see which of your facebook friends are using Tinder. It shows everyone, not just people in your current location. You can even see which of them are already in a group.
Between this and the whatsapp/facebook shared database it's getting harder and harder to keep your anonimity online.
So be careful, and use a burner facebook account if you have a gf or don't want your friends to know about it.

It's time to let Tinder die in the USA. Of course, international and pipelining might be useful. There needs to be a social proof or some barrier to entry or you'll end up wasting more of your time and money on these apps, chasing fatties you'd never even consider approaching. A 7 on Tinder is like a 10+ in "real life". It's a joke.

Absolutely true in my experience. Tinder in Russia is still not bad at all. Tinder in USA is complete shit. Full circle back to cold approach for the win.

One more reason not to use Facebook.

This "Tinder Social" thing sounds queer as a three dollar bill. Wby would anyone want to sign up to entertain a bunch of Tinder girls in a mixed-sex group, anyway?
It's like those OKCupid events where you're supposed to go to some trendy bar in Cambridge to play "Cards Against Humanity" and sip 14 dollar cocktails with a few mid 30s cat ladies. I couldn't sign up for them even if I wanted to, because the minute the event is open for reservations all the slots are taken by dudes. What a sausagefest that town is.
Who signs up for this stuff?
Pretty sure the app developers realize that the golden age of online dating has passed, and they're just a discount Facebook substitute these days.

You can deactivate it and it doesn't show you to anyone right?

What's your ratio of men to women in the list of people that can be in your group? I'm seeing 16 guys and 2 girls. The actual ratio of my FB friends is definitely not that extreme.

Damn! Only just got a tinder a couple months ago but I would not want that known amongst all my Facebook friends! Fuck. What a terrible feature.

Why does it matter? Everyone and their mom is on tinder.
It's not taboo to be on tinder these days.
