Tinder can be great fun sometimes, but have you ever wondered what the site is doing to your expectations of others and how much if could be affecting your confidence? Here are eight reasons why Tinder does you no favours.
It makes you shallow
You can't judge a book by its cover. Especially if it's electronic.
It'll destroy your confidence
You're constantly putting your best photos up and not getting the results you want. This can only end in tears and make you feel shit for no legitimate reason.
It makes you more judgmental...in the wrong ways
Just because they are quoted as loving Batman doesn't they're a comic book nerd...

It can make you look desperate
Being sociable and meeting real people is a lot more productive.
It's unsociable
Wanting to find a suitable mate on a phone isn't really the most romantic way to go about finding love. Talking to people is far more productive.
You can be a CATFISH
It's creepy and not necessary for this kind of app. If you want to talk to a middle-aged man who is pretending to be a twenty-year-old girl, work away. But it's not our scene.
It's just not you
The person you portray online, even if it is you, is unlikely to let people know who you really are. So if you see someone you like the look of, go and chat to them instead of "liking them".
It won't work out
How many weddings have you heard of where the bride and groom met on Tinder? Not many I'd say...
