"    Photo: Courtesy of Cosmo Want to try a dating app, but not sure which one to use? Below, Cosmopolitan.com&amp;#039;s Anna Breslaw weighs the two most popular options out there.  We are living in the Age of Swipe Right: Two similarly-designed dating apps, Hinge and Tinder, are swiftly overtaking the online dating market. But, as in Highlander, there can Only Be One (that you have time to use). Which will it be? Here, an Everywoman reviews both and ultimately makes the choice for you. Tinder We have been down this road before. If you believe the search for love \u2014 or even just one night of sex with someone who does not live under a bridge \u2014 should resemble searching for an earring in a McDonalds Playplace, Tinder is the app for you. It gauges matches by your current location, rather than, say, mutual friends, favorite movies, or other algorithms that are a modicum less likely to fail. It is also heavy on the bro side; every other male Tinder user is a 37-year-old snorkeling Ken doll who &amp;quot;works hard and plays hard..&amp;quot; and/or &amp;quot;lives every week like it&amp;#039;s Shark Week..&amp;quot; (That breed of male always mistype ellipses that way. Ever notice that?) Anyway, there are myriad legends of people meeting and starting relationships from Tinder, but I&amp;#039;ve never actually met those people, which is a good indication of its unlikeliness. Although my sister had a one night stand with a guy she met on Tinder, so I guess that is two thumbs up from her. Hinge Sort of like that offensive &amp;quot;male leftovers&amp;quot; party Charlotte throws in Sex and The City, Hinge pulls from your Facebook friends&amp;#039; friends to select a somewhat more appropriate dating pool. After the functional illiteracy and Paco Rabanne-spritzed vibe of Tinder, it is a pleasant surprise to encounter employed-looking, educated human beings whose penis you might be okay with touching. However, &amp;quot;one man&amp;#039;s trash is another man&amp;#039;s treasure&amp;quot; principle aside, the fact that your mutual Facebook friend (if a girl) is not dating this guy does indicate something. After a mutual right-swipe, I asked our mutual friend \u2014 a very beautiful, successful, and Ivy League-educated girl \u2014 for details. he is short and weird, she immediately wrote back. but really nice. No thank you. The Verdict: Hinge.  via Cosmopolitan.com "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
