Dating apps have become the new norm in present times. It is a great medium to connect with strangers, meet them, and forge a meaningful equation. Tinder, is one of the most popular dating apps, used by millions. Recent trends have shown that people have grown addicted to the platform, swiping left and right for hours, to find a suitable match. But this addiction turned into such an obsession for a British man that he had to seek therapy to alleviate his habit. Confessing that he felt a “rush” while using the platform, he claimed to be swiping 500 Tinder profiles each day.

According to a report by the New York Post, the Tinder user was hooked to the dating application to witness how many women “liked” his profile, which gave him a sense of adrenaline. Strangely, he had no intention of meeting these women or finding a match. In an interaction with iNews, he revealed that if a member from the opposite gender did not reply to his text or message him first, it “crushed” him. “I would get highs when I was getting a lot of matches with people that I found attractive but it would always be followed by a crash because it’s not sustainable,” he said.

Craving for “validation”, the Brit man admitted that Tinder was the only thing that kept him going. He also opened accounts on Hinge and Bumble, swiping every profile he came across. He regularly talked with 10 women at the same time, waiting endlessly for them to ping him up. “Since I was swiping right on everyone and fully engulfed in the ‘game’, I lost all sense of self. Those apps affected my entire mood and personality,” he claimed adding that it distorted his reality. Uninterested in actually dating someone, when he finally asked women out, the singleton eventually got bored.

Even though he met someone special through Tinder and was in a relationship with her, his obsession forced him to return to Tinder again. Once the relationship ended, he sought therapy where he was diagnosed with depression and borderline personality disorder. Presently he has quit using dating apps, cited the New York Post.
