Tinder Cancels Accounts For People It Considers âToo Attractiveâ
Tinder, the popular âhot or notâ dating app, has made the controversial decision to block users it considers too attractive due to a substantial overflow of users. According to founder Gary Tinder, it was a tough decision, but the right one that will save the business in the long run.âWe just couldnât keep up with the overwhelming number of users. Thereâs millions of lonely people joining every second . . . especially between the hours of 12am and 4am. While I want to include everyone who is horny, sad, or just trying to do it with a stranger who is less than two minutes away, there have to be limits,â said Tinder. âOur technology cannot handle every person in heat, and it would be really rude to deny the people who are probably not good looking enough to be charming in person.âSome extremely attractive people figured out something was wrong with the popular app before they officially revealed their secret. Alexis Wartz of Silver Lake noticed the trend early, when she was refused a download on her iPhone. âMy friends were just like, âOMG you should do Tinder, I met this guy who asks me if Iâm up at 3am every single weekend!â So I tried, and it said the download didnât work. I was at a Starbucks and the WiFi was so working and I kept trying and it never worked, but it worked for all my friends. It feels kinda good now that I know Iâm too sexy to be on it. Itâs a compliment and Iâll never stop bragging about it to my friends, who now have proof that Iâm the prettiest one in the group.âLiam Rash of New York City recalled his rejection from across the country. âI had the app for a while, but then one day it just disappeared. I tried to re-download it, and it wouldnât work. Iâm sitting there depressed, thinking âIâm one minute away from the hottest, most desperate chicks in all of Murray Hill, and I donât even have to get out of bedâ¦and I can have my hand down my pants if I want to.â It sucks that Iâm too hot for this thing, because Iâm so socially awkward that I can only approach women through an iPhone without having a mental breakdown about how much I miss my mom, who lives upstate.ââIf the user demand continues to grow, weâll probably just make a Tinder for âuglyâ to âaverageâ people, and a separate one for âabove averageâ to âhotâ people. But for now itâs our number one priority to make the app available to everyone we can as quickly as possible. We are just asking that everyone, from ugly duckling to beauty queen, just give us some time to get the kinks worked out.âÂ
