Watched the video & read the short blurb accompanying it, but since I don't know what Tinder is...
It's a dating app for your phone. People's pictures are ported in from Facebook and appear within the app based on search criteria you designate (typically age and location), and you can choose to swipe left or right, indicating that whether or not you like them. Men can only contact women who have "approved" them. So it's like getting randomly assigned pictures with small sentences as opposed to full dating profiles, and people swipe through them pretty quickly, highlighting the "picture is what matters" mentality.

^Thanks-
I could've googled it, but that wouldn't necessarily tell me what meaning it has in this thread.
I don't have a mobile device, so I don't use mobile apps & all these newfangled whatnots...
Sure, to some degree, looks count (whether both individuals are drawn to each other, physically-and onscreen, that's limited to the visual).
Yet no matter how appealing a photo may be to my eyes, if the guy's personality isn't compatible with mine, then I have no interest in meeting him.
For those that use it: Swipe to your heart's content and then don't get on the app for about a week or longer. When you get back on after that, the first (however many, could be 5, could be 50) people you get all swiped 'Yes' for you.
I got bored of the app and stayed off it until I got randomly got on it after about 3 or 4 days. Like the first 20 or 30 people I swiped "Yes" on were matches, lol.
Lol one of the young guys at work had that app and tried showing it to us. We started swiping every girl as approved. I think we ruined his dating life for a month.
I would have no interest in such an app. Seems more hook up-y than anything else.
Yeah, pretty much all the guys I talked to on there were just looking to hook up. But I am currently dating someone I met on there and he seems cool so far (and we haven't hooked up yet).

That's the implied (but not advertised) purpose.

That just makes you a regular guy. It's basically a lottery for guys and a goldmine for women (that want hookups).
