    Yeah, guess you’re right. And the overlap between “we need to find you a righteous man / timid girl from our own religuous community” and “my son/daughter uses tinder” is small enough so it’s not of any concern.

    I wouldn’t like somebody else pick my dates. But I guess I’m going to read another article at some point, outlining some use-case for this.

      But this feature doesn’t make others pick your dates. It sounds like it adds a badge to people in your swipe queue saying your friends recommend the person.

      It just sounds like a fun way to pre-right-swipe a bunch of people for your buddies.

      So this morning I got a pop up in Tinder saying I can try it. Threw it in an incognito tab and it’s a marketing ploy for tinder to get your friends on their app lol

      You click the link, it asks you to login, make a tinder account, or skip. Then asks for your birthdate and name, then you get 20 or so people to swipe on left or right.

      This thing is definitely a novelty for silliness.
