Passage 1
Oh no, not Anthony Weiner again.
The older generation never gets it. Anthony Weiner, a candidate for mayor of New York,
admitted this week to having sent more snaps of himself to a digital acquaintance. As any youngster
could have told him, the way to find love is to send photos of your face.
Consider Will, a 24-year-old up-and-coming film director in California. He meets potential
dates via a smartphone app called Tinder. It finds potential matches who are nearby—your phone
always knows where you are—and shows him photos from their Facebook profiles. Will can like or
reject each photo. If a woman he likes also likes him, both are alerted and can start chatting.
Tinder is quick (you can scroll through dozens of photos in minutes) and spares your blushes
(you never know if someone rejects you). Will has already had three romantic encounters and
hundreds of matches, he says. Justin Mateen, a co-founder of Tinder, says it has made 100m matches
since its launch in September, and led to 50 marriage proposals. He adds: “The app has only really
been going for nine months. There could be a baby popping out soon.”
Americans are dating longer, which creates opportunities for matchmakers. Some are quite
direct.
Bang with Friends (BWF), another app, allows users to specify which of their Facebook friends
they would like to spend the night with. If both parties feel the same way, BWF notifies them. If not,
no one is any the wiser. BWF was booted from Apple’s app store, but that hasn’t stopped it from
creating 200,000 pairings since its January launch. BWF’s boss, admits he came up with the concept
while “a bit tipsy”.
Such apps make it easier to find potential partners, but don’t seem to have turned America into
a nation of bed-hoppers. Young women claim to have had a median of 3.6 male intimate friends
while young men 6.1 female ones. These figures may be inaccurate—men may exaggerate; women
may undercount—but they have not changed much in years.
Parents fret that staring at screens all day has made youngsters socially inept face-to-face. A
