You've pretty much described the dating/hookup scene outside of Tinder as well. Funny how technology changes nothing.



Not as much. Outside of Tinder men have a range of other attributes that can help them: personality, timing, etc... Looks matter a lot more on Tinder for men than in real life. Maybe the same is true for women, I haven't asked.

Same way in Tinder, after the match you still have to flirt. The similarity is in the optimization for the first contact.


Well in Tinders case, you've eliminated factors such as voice or smell or, I don't know, dance ability or interactions with others, etc.


technology scales and/or amplifies the effects
