VIDEO: Tinder Date Gone Wrong

Online dating is a gamble, as you never know whom you may encounter.

This guy’s date is an example of why you should maybe stick to the classic, boring way of meeting people.

According to Your Viral Blog, Tinder is a popular app that many people are using now to hook-up.

Many youth are using the app to meet people (strangers) that are located in their area, with the end goal of getting some. It’s definitely not the same as online dating and anyone treating it as such is fooling themselves. So what do you expect when you match with a girl, and she invites you over at midnight? Of course, you expect to get laid.

However, little did this guy know that his friend from HammyTV set up a prank on his best friend to give him the shock of his life. Literally. In fact, he got so scared at one point, that he actually pissed his pants.

Maybe this will teach him to stay off Tinder, and going after random chicks. You never know when you’ll meet a crazy one that could change your life forever, and not in the way you want.

According to Wikipedia, Tinder was founded by Sean Rad, Jonathan Badeen, Justin Mateen, Joe Munoz, Dinesh Moorjani, Chris Gylczynski, and Whitney Wolfe, who later left Tinder to start Bumble. Other sources state that list of founders is restricted to Mateen, Rad, and Badeen, though this has been disputed. Rad and Mateen had known each other since they were fourteen.

They later attended USC together and entered the Internet entrepreneurship field. Rad has stated that the impetus for the app was his observation that “no matter who you are, you feel more comfortable approaching somebody if you know they want you to approach them.”

He believed that a “double opt-in” system could be created to potentially alleviate that stress. Rad has also stated that Tinder filled a gap for social sites for meeting strangers, rather than connecting with people a user already knows.

Tinder was then seeded at numerous college campuses, and expanded to other college campuses. The app won TechCrunch’s Crunchie Award for “Best New Startup of 2013”. In March 2013, when the app was still used only in certain localities, social media director Alexa Mateen stated that the app was intended to be a “chance to meet people you wouldn’t normally meet”.

By May 2013, Tinder was one of the top 25 social networking apps available on the web based on frequency of use and number of users.

Initially, instead of a swiping motion, users would click on either a green “heart” or red “oXo” to select or move on from the photos shown. Tinder became the first new online dating service to become one of the top five utilized services on the web in about ten years.

Tinder is used widely throughout the world and is available in about 30 languages. As of late 2014, an estimated 50 million people use the app every month with an average of 12 million matches per day. However, to get to those 12 million matches, users collectively make around 1 billion swipes per day. The minimum age to sign up and use Tinder is 18.
