Tinder For Older Guys

Nov 27, 2019 “Tinder Granny” has vowed to ditch the hookup app and find her one true love. After decades of canoodling with boy toys on Tinder, 83-year-old Hattie Wiener of Hell’s Kitchen is ready to.

Almost everything sucks as you get older. Your metabolism slows down. You have three craft beers and the next morning you’re drafting up your will. You struggle to accept that the hopes and dreams you harbored growing up were too idealistic and take a job at Coldstone Creamery while you “figure things out.” Dealing with all this shit by oneself is as daunting as being the only one at the customer service tent at Fyre Festival (topical reference, good work, self!)

Mar 17, 2021 Many singles in their 50s and 60s have found more success (due to the sheer number of people) on apps with heavy millennial influence, like monster swiping app Tinder and Bumble — where women. I Set Tinder to Only Men Older than 30 and It Got Very Weird Very Fast. This horrible experiment of mine can be blamed on Hugh Hefner. When news of his passing hit, and social media was overrun with condemnation and praise, I found myself pondering. This man was involved with a multitude of young ladies who could’ve been his granddaughters. The folks in charge at Tinder have developed a plan to allow its users to do a background check on prospective dates by using their name and phone number, BBC News reports. Amid heightened awareness about the risks of online dating, if a user reports information about someone’s violent past to Tinder or one of their sister apps, the offending. DATING apps such as Tinder are widely seen as a playground for the young. But oldies are getting in on the action too and at least 1.5million over-45s are now swiping right to find a match.

Tinder could give a shit about old people dying alone, indicative of their increased rates for people aged 30 and older.

The hookup app has reportedly reached a $17.3 million settlement with 230,000 California-based users aged 30+ who claim that the service charged them double what they charge the younger bucks.

Via New York Post:

The class action lawsuit, led by plaintiff Lisa Kim, arose after Kim realized in 2015 that she was paying $19.99 for Tinder Plus, which provides users with advanced features such as unlimited “likes” and a passport feature to swipe anywhere in the world. Users aged 29 and younger were paying only $9.99 per month.

Tinder defended its decision to charge older users more by saying that they have more money to burn.

“During our testing we’ve learned that younger users are just as excited about Tinder Plus but are more budget constrained and need a lower price to pull the trigger,” Tinder said in 2015.

The settlement ordered Tinder to shell out 50 in-app “Super Likes” (worth $11.5 million), with the option to claim another 25, to the 230,000 oldies.

These “Super Likes” can’t be underestimated. I “Super Liked” my girlfriend while I was taking a dump, and she has since admitted that if she had not been endeared by me burning one of my three daily Super Likes on her, she would have swiped left. I would later learn that she too was taking a poop. I had previously believed that girls don’t poop. See, everything does suck as you get older.

P.S. I’m not saying BroBible deserves a piece of that settlement, but it’s impossible to downplay the role we had into thrusting this injustice into the mainstream. Check out our West Hollywood protest.
