When seeking casual sex, why go to a bar to get rejected when you can use an app to get rejected from the comfort of your own home? A study just published in Personality and Individual Differences suggests that people on Tinder and other such picture-based dating apps are not really doing much better at getting casual sex than those who don't use the apps. One in 5 of the respondents turned out to be current users of such dating apps. In other words, many Tinder users were a bit like a 7-Eleven in the middle of nowhere at 4 am. But not everyone is trying to use Tinder and similar apps as a vending machine for casual sex.
