Tinder Crashes – Lovesick Millennials Pine On Social Media

Thank goodness for technology, and how it's brought the world of dating to our fingertips. Except when Tinder crashes, then the wheels really come off.

Woe is me.

Even if you’re not on Tinder you’ve probably asked a friend who is to have a look at how it all works. You start to get into it, and before you know it you’re happily swiping away – the fate of someone else’s love life at your fingertips.

But what Tinder giveth Tinder can taketh away, because last night the iOS version of the app crashed and panic set in.

Of course this didn’t mean people took to the streets in search of actual human interaction, but rather that they tweeted about it.

A few examples from Mashable:

But its worse, so much worse. Poor Jimmy guys, he’s proper distressed:

That’s just the tip of the iceberg:

You want to know what modern day Armageddon looks like? Wait until Tinder AND RedTube are down at the same time – blood on the streets.
