The “dating” app Tinder is ubiquitous at Cornell and most other college campuses. “Dating” is in quotations because, as most of us know, Tinder is usually not used to find significant others, although some have certainly had success in doing exactly that. Most Tinder users in my demographic see the app as a conduit to casual hookups. A hundred years ago, an application such as Tinder would be condemned as strange and excessively promiscuous. Users also generally judge people on Tinder by only their appearance, often neglecting to read their bio at all.
