Wikipedia: Tinder
Tinder is an American geosocial networking and online dating application that allows users to anonymously swipe to like or dislike other users’ posted profiles, which generally comprise their photo, a short bio, and a list of their personal interests. Once two users have “matched”, they can exchange messages.

I met my wife on @Tinder in 2018. Which was awkward as we’d been married since 2012.
