Quarantine made me do it: What I found trying 3 different dating apps

In the age of social media and the internet, many of us have jumped onto dating apps to find love in a rather unconventional way. And now, with COVID-19 restricting us from making new connections in real life, finding love online seems to be the only way possible.

Admittedly, I was never one to shy away from using dating apps like Tinder (we all get lonely sometimes…right?), but I deleted the app long before COVID-19 and lockdown started. I was starting to realise that the connections I made there never really lasted, so I decided to drop the app entirely.

In the end, I downloaded Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble just to see what sort of experiences I’d get from each app.

Getting back into Tinder was quick and easy because all I had to do was make my account visible again, update a few of my photos, rewrite my bio and off I went!

I wanted to test out the stereotype that the people who go on Tinder only wanted to hook up, so I wrote my bio in a way that could possibly put this to the test:

I decided to see if the people who chanced upon my profile read my full bio or only had a quick glance. But, as it turns out, only a handful of people seem to mention my little message at the bottom while messaging me.

Also, six hours after putting my Instagram handle on Tinder, I received many direct messages with requests even when we hadn’t matched previously. Read more
