I had a Tinder profile and l found  that this application is the most superficial one where people usually pretend to have an incredible life or pretend to be rich. Whatever the people purpose are, l strongly think this platform is just a dating app that match users to others based on geographic localization or proximity. Some people use this app to meet new friends or maybe to look for marriage and l think that they are in the wrong place. Realising that l would not be able to know the other person behind the “swipe”, this app only can offer a superficial relationship.

Instant gratification by "matching" with people as a factor that promotes immediacy and featheriness on intimacy is an idea in which I also agree, virtual interactions are shaping the manner in which real interactions are being conceived and produced. Finally, it is true that intimacy is being redefined in terms of depth, ethereality, and volatility, but I consider that this phenomenon is not only related to Tinder and dating apps but due to social media and the impact of technology on human relations; the global use of the internet and social media has promoted a lifestyle in which most things are instantaneous, even bonds among people, but frivolously and without any sense of commitment and deep connection with each other. So, in my opinion, these sites only promote one-night standings and shallow relationships in which instant gratification and filling the need for connection are the main motivators, not a "sparkle" or a bond with someone else.]]> 2021-11-11 14:48:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ncorts1/nw172qi37kla9554/wish/1884373968 pabloaros https://padlet.com/ncorts1/nw172qi37kla9554/wish/1884604733 I do not agree that the App itself is disrupting the conception of Intimacy in Western Society, but it is the mentality of the current society which has being subject of transformation towards informality and poligamy.  Moreover, I think  are the users the ones who are not using the App correctly.
 
Considering the origins of the icon and what it tries to transmit (having passionate encounters between people who have just discovered an attractive or interesting person in a nearby location), it does not fit the explanation given by the app, defining itself as "the best place to meet new people", and rehuse to elaborate on further uses of the app.

It is a fact that there are several people that do not use Tinder to date, as perhaps they use the app to search new friends in their proximity. But, whatever are the reasons, if an aspect such as intimacy is being questioned in a hook-up site, I feel there are a huge amount of users being cynically naive as they wheter do not accept the real purpose of the app, or simply put too much effort in informal relationships.

I understand what the text tries to explain, but it does not matches the essence of the App itself. Personally, I feel it is not wise to search for intimacy in a place such as Tinder, as everything is intended to create hasty relations between users,  and not promoting  process of creation of affective bonds.

The time we are living is definetly an interesting time, as  it has changed several aspects of the society we live in. Accepting the fact that people is increasingly embracing informal relationships, and others are accepting that polygamy is a valid form marriage leads me to question this issue of Tinder. Is it too awkward for users to accept the real purpose of the app? Does it create discomfort to accept we are looking for potential sexual partners? Is Tinder actually guilty for disrupting the conception of Intimacy? 

As one of my friend uses to joke with me: "Que les sirva de reflection".

But I feel that it is similar to Instagram or Facebook, where more likes you have means that you are more beautiful and people like you physically, and on tinder, it is the same. Likewise, I think that many people on tinder are desperate to be with someone, some just want a sexual partner, but others want formal relationships but quickly, and you can never know what the other person wants until you talk to the person.]]> 2021-11-12 19:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ncorts1/nw172qi37kla9554/wish/1887328931
