As if dating, and online dating isn’t already depressing, I had to go and watch ‘Swiped,’ the HBO documentary about Tinder. I always say that for me, the definition of a good documentary is when you learn something new about it subject. And I can honestly say that I learned really nothing from this film. Rather, it just confirmed all my gripes. I know social dating apps via Grindr, and basically, the syndrome just now extends to the heterosexuals. All the complaints – girls getting dick picks, the proliferation of casual sex – just moved platforms. There used to be bars, and now there are apps.  IS Tindr dangerous? I think it’s in the same league as everything else in life – if you let it overcome your life, it will. The document shames them, though it gives the creators of the app equal time. And in all fairness, the Tindr people are just at a loss. They know what they are doing. The film focuses on singles residing in New York City, and I think it would have been more interesting if they had done research in less congested areas. I wonder if singles fare better there, although, really no one knows how anyone is faring, as Tindr people admit they have no figures whatsoever to calculate *anything* (although they get emails all the time from satisfied people [rolls eyes])  So yeah, I sound bitter and cynical and probably needs to stop writing now.
