Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.evanmarckatz.com/blog/online-dating-tips-advice/what-tinder-tells-you-about-yourself Quotes to ponder: "Essentially, we’re constantly inventing narratives about the people who surround us. Tinder appears to encourage these narratives and crystallize the extrapolation process and package it into a five-second, low-stakes decision." "A 5-foot-7 male was 'too short.' A 39-year-old guy was decidedly 'too old' for Katie’s 33 years. Another is bald; she decides him 'too' much so." "Tinder is by no means the cause of this decline. It simply encourages and quietly normalizes the assumptions that undergird it."
