I've always read all these posts on here about how tinder doesn't help you progress and it won't help you with approaching girls; well I call bullshit. Aside from all the amazing fucks and hookups I've had on there, I've also had some really cool experiences in general. It's given me so many opportunities to put myself out there and do so many new and fun things. From sorority formals, to bar hopping, to sitting on the beach talking until 4am, to crazy parties, to even spontaneous road trips - you get the point. I've met some really cool people as well. It's significantly helped me progress socially. Constantly being thrown into random social events. I've ended up going to quite a few sorority events, parties, and family gatherings with girls from tinder. Constantly having to be able to adapt to the scenario and learn how to chat up whoever you're around. Always having to be on your feet and constantly meeting new people. This has led to me being a way more social and less awkward person in general, which has made me much more confident in who I am. This newfound confidence has helped me be able to open girls in real life and chat up girls in real life that I would have been too scared to do before. I don't rely on tinder to go out, meet people, etc..I just wanted to share my reasoning as to why I think tinder is actually a useful social tool.
