Mobile apps to change the dating, do they make the difference?

Some facts for you to consider

For instance, more and more of the recent surveys show that although mobile apps are on top of their popularity nowadays, some people still firmly prefer to rely on more traditional ways of meeting new people rather than matching them through the dating apps.

Perhaps, it happens mostly because of the following situation. While the online communication at free dating websites people get some level of enjoyment. And when after some time spent on online messaging people suddenly decide that the relations should or have the chance to grow into something bigger than that… the reality can make a shift and turn out to be a bit more charmless. Moreover, in real life it usually makes no matter how many women or men you are matched with online, you have to face quite other situations and complications. So dating apps mostly remain the means for easy flirting and light “relations”, not more, even taking into account the fact that some small percent of the online dates do actually end up in strong relations. So, as we can see the possible outcomes of the online dating for people can make the whole difference.

Fashion for mobile apps?

But at the same time statistical figures show us that the wide use of various dating applications for dating is steadily growing. Most of the young people (between 20 and 30 years old or so) simply follow the fashion trend, when today’s swiping right to have a match and contact is much more popular than just hooking up someone in a pub or a night club.

According to the Pew Research Center, approximately three per cent of Americans have tried dating applications via their smartphones or other mobile devices, and nine percent have used “traditional” dating websites online.

Geographical proximity or Facebook?

Most popular dating apps like Tinder allow their users to browse the photos of people who are located nearby in the first place, and make new friends in real time, using the principle of geolocation.

However, Hinge mobile app, for example, which began as a startup project in Washington, doesn’t use geolocation. It use another principle, getting necessary information from a users’ Facebook profile to offer matches. The majority of people these days spend (if not to say waste) too much of their time checking emails or Facebook. So, based on that and starting out from a user’s Facebook list of friends, favorites and likes, Hinge connects people, who already share the same interests, often they are friends of friends, etc.
