In lieu of awkward convos and pick-up-lines, a simple swipe to the left or right will determine how your night ends — or land you with a sad case of post-traumatic hook-up-app stress. And, while even that method seems super impersonal, there are a slew of apps hitting the market that actually make Tinder look chivalrous.
According to The Daily Beast, these apps are more gimmicky than they are setting people up for meaningful or advanced relationships. There's some kind of disconnect there, because people are actually having less sex than ever before. Well, we can kind of see why: It's hard to imagine the person who spends his or her night tonguing a phone, or sending fake text messages to a love interest, is bound to find a keeper.
