Does Tinder Work? Dating App's Relationship Effectiveness Revealed

Tinder has repeatedly made top ten lists of the best and most popular dating apps, but is it effective? A recent survey showed that despite its high usership, not even five percent of the young people swiping right are looking for relationships. The majority of people on the app are young: an estimated 80 percent of Tinder users qualify as millennials, according to a survey by LendEDU, a website that provides student loan guidance. But only 4.16 percent of those users are looking for a relationship. Twenty-two percent said they were looking for a hookup, while 44.44 percent said they used it "confidence-boosting procrastination."
