Tinder App

Tinder is a online dating app for iPhones and it basically finds out who likes you nearby, and connects you with them if you’re also interested. Fascinated by the success of this app, three Brigham Young University college students set up a social media experiment to see how many men would show up at a particular location knowing nothing about a certain female.

The group first created a fake Facebook profile for a 21 year old female named Sammy, so they then can use the Tinder app. They simply wrote, “I’m going to yogurt shop called yogurtland tonight at 9 in orem with some girl friends if you want to meet up ;)” When the students went to the yogurt spot, it was packed with lots of men, ranging between 19 and 30 years old. Over 70 men showed up and quickly realized they were there for the same girl. Some tried to contact Sammy later on, but they would get a reply that said “social media experiment.”
