where I live in the San Francisco Bay
area is the epicenter of innovative
technology there are thousands of
applications being produced every day
that are super intuitive one application
is for online dating applications bring
ease and convenience into our daily
lives and for online dating I am a user
here’s a sneak peek into my online
dating profile for the world to see it
has some of my best photos I chose and
quick tidbits about myself I like to
challenge myself every day and I studied
abroad at Lorenzo de Medici and voila an
online profile for the world to see in a
matter of seconds in the palm of your
hand this is me being fully exposed to
you my kind audience I have access to a
24/7 online singles bar how cool is that
so there’s the question what is it
the swipe culture all the authentic
relationship apps that bring upon
success you may be familiar with the
film in the 90s you got mail or sites
like eHarmony or match.com there’s a way
that Millennials are using online dating
these days it’s mobile first these are
all the brands that you can use in the
palm of your phone tinder hinge coffee
meets bagel grinder you name it there
are over a hundred million users using
tinder today the four one one on tinder
a dating apocalypse for the hook-up
culture body before personality a quick
synopsis and how tinder works you have
the profile you like someone you swipe
right you don’t like someone
you swipe left someone likes you they
swipe right and bam it’s a match so
who’s going to say hi first another
application which is one of my personal
favorites is called hinge hinge gets
users off their phone and on dates it’s
about forming relationships and
connecting people because relationships
are great college students I know you
use the apps I’ve asked you myself you
are what sociologists are called moving
into emerging adulthood you will be
moving to new cities for new jobs where
you don’t know that many people this is
the time for you to leverage those
applications get on your phone meet new
people and try new things
emphasizing the new and that’s what I’m
getting at here over 30% of
relationships are formed through online
dating these days that’s a bigger pool
than meeting through school through work
or through family combined applications
are even helping modern love in foreign
countries such as Qatar where there are
arranged marriages technology is giving
us romantic freedom I’ve had some
interesting online dating experiences to
say the least some great some not so
great this is Robert
we met on coffee meets bagel Robert was
an interesting character he had a
massive burger in one of his photos and
had witty comments in the about Me
section he was the CEO of some tech
startup but don’t recall it of course
was it a reusable water bottle company
or was it a dog-walking app hmm
regardless Robert and I went on many
dates including going to Emmys spaghetti
shack and touring all the bars in San
Francisco
karaoke bars in San Francisco I mean how
many times can I sing and reinvent man I
feel like a woman by Shania Twain
regardless Robert and I had a lot of fun
but the karaoke bar scene was kind of a
red flag so I decided to cut
communication with him altogether and or
ghost him this is Brett we met unhinge
Brett was an interesting character as
well he was a professional sailor and a
tech nerd through and through on our
first date he really challenged me and
even though there wasn’t a romantic
connection I knew we would still be good
friends
Brett even gave me a referral to a job
at his new company now that’s a way to
leverage a personal and professional
connection so those have been some of my
online dating experiences up until this
point there you chalk it up to
experience because it’s all about
meeting new people and trying new things
emphasizing the new and that’s what I’m
getting at here as I continue throughout
my journey of modern love I still ponder
the question is it the swipe culture or
the authentic relationship apps that
ring upon success there are positive and
negative experiences to both technology
is making producing more experiences
more accessible help
meeting new people more easily and
connecting more often to evoke new
possibilities thank you
