Users appreciated the departure of Tinder: how to live without swipes and matches

The international speed dating service contained its own threat to leave Runet on the last day of June: on Saturday, July 1, for the first time in the last 11 years (Tinder appeared in RV in 2012), we have to start life without it. What is irretrievably lost in it and is it possible to replace it with something?

We understand with the help of users, experts in applications for “dating” (dating on the Web) and doctors.

In Sochi, the favorite application, which from now on will not be downloaded to Russian phones, was held with a funeral party on the beach. They even laid a mourning – even – number of carnations.

What do you miss the most now? – we are interested in a 27-year-old lover of the speed dating service.

– Personally, to be honest, the feeling that a quick acquaintance for sex is normal, brought me only tinder. And before him, everything was, as it were, with the implication that it is normal only to want a family, everything else is debauchery.

– And I won’t have enough swipes and matches! – adds 30-year-old Oleg.

Tinder differed from its competitors in its approach to dating – in particular, the “swipe” option – this is a user scrolling the profiles of other users to the right or left to express interest or, conversely, lack of interest. Mutual interest, when the “swipes” of users converged, was called a “match” – mutual interest or a signal that communication can begin. Also, according to loyal users, Tinder had the most convenient settings filters for the most important criteria – age, gender and geolocation, which made it possible to optimize the search for a suitable match.

“And I will miss the chats where we laughed at the pearls from the tinder,” the 25-year-old Muscovite sighs. – And also full-time bachelorette parties, where you could swipe with a glass of wine gentlemen and discuss them.

What is your fondest memory from Tinder? I ask those who mourn him.

– I have fast sex, – admits Andrey, 47 years old from Moscow. – The good news is that we agreed. And she could not ask, what are you, everything already ?!

“And I found a person in Tinder, but not the man I was looking for, but a friend,” shares 29-year-old Polina from Bryansk. – We accidentally wrote off, and have been friends for 6 years. Married, however, both never got out. But together we laugh at user profiles. Cry, that’s all now.

– Will you switch to domestic dating sites?

– No, it’s not that fun. But there is no silver lining, now we will get to know each other in real life.

Domestic IT specialists inform all those who are especially suffering that although from June 30 the tinder will not be able to download, open and register in it on the territory of the Russian Federation, there are still “roundabout” paths to the speed dating service for quick sex – through a special bypass algorithm.

– No, I will not make unnecessary gestures for the sake of tinder, – answers the question of whether he will go around to the tinder, his former regular user Mikhail, 51 years old. – When it’s difficult, it’s not interesting anymore. It’s cool when it’s easy, free and you don’t have to hide it. I’m not that addicted to Tinder.

But domestic law enforcement officers and doctors believe that the departure of the tinder for the Russians is only for the better. The former, as an edification, recall the tragedy of the penultimate June day, when a 28-year-old successful and beautiful Muscovite fell from the 11th floor of her apartment during her first date with a man from a dating site. His direct fault, apparently, is not in misfortune, but the lady was upset precisely in the course of communication with a new acquaintance. And in such “fast” services, anyone can easily impersonate someone they are not.

Doctors, on the other hand, talk about the notorious STDs, which are an inevitable side effect of the “unbearable ease of dating.”

– Increasing the level of permission to oneself is from time to time and not bad for our psyche, and therefore health in general, – says venereologist Tamara Leonova. – This refers to allowing yourself to communicate without obligations and far-reaching plans, including intimate ones. Since plans and promises often weigh on us in such a way that we forget to enjoy what we are doing. But this does not mean that at this moment you need to take your head off your shoulders and not think about anything. Young people today talk about venereal diseases with laughter, which is not bad, because it means that they have long been treatable and do not cause devastating harm. The trouble is that the majority knows only the most popular and “literary” ones – syphilis, gonorrhea, etc. But, alas, there are many more of them, and not all are equally easy to treat. And if not succumbing, they can provoke a more serious disease. I don’t want to scare anyone, but the shortest series that immediately comes to mind is HIV, viral hepatitis A, B and C, herpes viruses and human papillomaviruses. And this is in addition to a meeting with Trichomonas, Chlamydia, Urea- and Mycoplasmas, etc., which is very likely during a promiscuous sexual life with a frequent change of partners.
