Tinder has a new hero, and soon you will too.

Meet Lauren, a 20-year-old woman from the United States who survived a life-threatening road traffic accident last year.

Having lost her arm in the potentially life-altering incident, Lauren understandably struggled in the aftermath, telling BuzzFeed: "For a while, I wasn’t okay with the jokes. But then I started telling the jokes, and it’s kind of helped."

Explaining that she has used social media to come to terms with the loss of her arm, Lauren was stunned when her updated Tinder bio started going viral recently.

Last week, Lauren decided to draw attention to the loss of her arm with a ridiculously funny description of herself on the popular dating app in a move which has had people falling over themselves.

Describing herself as 'an arms dealer', Lauren went on to say she was 'hands down the best catch on Tinder' before rating herself physically.

Naturally, she gave herself 10/10 in the face department, 9/10 on the body front, and her personality garnered an impressive 20/10.

And as for her arms? Well, they got 1/2.

Yes, we love her, and so does Twitter.
 

 

 

 

Commenting on her humorous approach to an accident which could have claimed her life, Lauren said: "People don’t see that very often, so a lot of people DM me to tell me it’s really helpful to them, people who are also missing limbs or are disabled."

Lauren, you do you, and allow us to adore you.

So, if you've ever used Tinder you'll know there are certain types of pictures that pop up time and time again.

The classic mirror snap, posing with friends in front of the Iamsterdam sign, oh and of course, the dreaded tiger selfie.

Well, prepare to see a notable absence of endangered species on your next swipe session, because Tinder are finally cracking down on displays of animal cruelty.

In a new message posted to their website, Tinder wrote:

“Posing next to a king of the jungle doesn’t make you one.”

“It’s time for the tiger selfies to go. More often than not, these photos take advantage of beautiful creatures that have been torn from their natural environment.”

And honestly, we couldn't agree more.

The move comes following pressure from animal rights campaigners at PETA who wrote an open letter to Tinder owner, Sean Rad.

“While most of us are on Tinder to find a soulmate or a date, appearing on the app isn’t fun for everyone,” they wrote.

“What might, at first swipe, look like a harmless picture actually means that someone was caged, dominated, and tied down or drugged before their photo was taken and uploaded online.”

“If this happened to one of your users on a Tinder date, you’d block the profile of the person responsible immediately. Unfortunately, this is the reality for tigers, lions, and other big cats who are featured in an alarming number of Tinder profile photos.”

The dating app are now insisting that all users remove their tiger selfies and have donated $10,000 to Project Cat, a charity working to protect endangered tigers.

G'wan Tinder!

Now if you guys could put a ban on those cringe-worthy “here for a good time, not a long time” bios, we'll be golden.

Nudes can be tricky business.

For the most part, intimate photographs are only meant to be seen by the person to which they were sent, and while this might seem like a given, there are still people out there who think it's okay to share these images in the hopes of destroying their ex-partners reputation.

Whether or not you choose to send such photographs is completely up to yourself, and no explanation as to why you won't should ever be needed – but in saying it, one Tinder user's genius reason still gave us a giggle.

Meet Emily.

A 23-year-old singleton whose hilarious Tinder bio has gathered over 2,000 like after it appeared on Twitter last Thursday.

Her bio reads: “On the topic of nude pics: I just want to remind everyone of a little movie called TITANIC.”

“A girl in 1912 has her naked body drawn in a sketchbook by a random dude that no one’s ever heard of, locks the drawing in a safe on a boat, the BOAT SINKS, and her nude pictures STILL ends up on television 84 years later. No one is safe.”

Needless to say, people were pretty impressed with Emily's analogy.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk, Emily admitted that the bio was inspired by a post she had seen a while ago, although she did say she added to it to make it more 'original'.

When asked whether she was really against sending nude photos, Emily said: “I’m all for loving your body and if you feel comfortable, you should flaunt it.”

“Nude pictures for sexual reasons never made sense to me, there’s not much you can do with a picture that you couldn't do with porn.”

However, while Emily stated that she would not personally feel comfortable sending nude photos, she insists that for those who do, it's all about trust.

“It’s really hard to judge who is a smart person to send a nude picture to,” she says.

“You never know who’s actually seeing it or if they are going to be sent around.”

“My advice would be honestly wait for the real thing, it’s safer as once you press that send button, there’s no taking it back.”

So, whether or not nudes are your thing, trust and respect are key when it comes to sharing anything in a relationship.

Online dating is nothing new.

People have been developing relationships via the internet ever since the first dial-up connection changed our lives forever. 

However, a few years ago, a dating app called Tinder came crashing onto scene and changed the way we saw potential partners for evermore.

Unlike most online dating platforms, Tinder would only allow two users to chat if they had both expressed an interest in one another, meaning rejection and pitty texting are a thing of the past.

No one ever has to know you've swiped right, unless they have as well – it's a beautiful thing.

However, that could all be about to change.

The dating app today announced the introduction of a feature that will allow users to view how many pending likes they have at any given time.

You can then scroll through a grid of all the people who have already expressed interest in them, or, if swiping the old-fashioned way, a gold heart will appear next to the profile of someone who has already liked you.

But, there's a catch.

This feature is only available on the app's new premium service, Tinder Gold.

It's not yet clear how much this service will cost, but according to TechCrunch, a spokesperson for the company said it will be “only a small additional fee” for those who are already Tinder Plus members (€9.99/ month).

The feature is currently being tested in Argentina, Australia, Canada and Mexico, but developers are planning for the service to be rolled out everywhere in the near future.

A 36-year-old man accused of raping a university student at Kilmashogue Lane, Rathfarnham, Co Dublin in September 2014 has pleaded not guilty at the Central Criminal Court.

According to a report in The Irish Times, the defendant told Gardai that he had 'fully consensual sex' with the woman he met through Tinder three years ago.

The court heard that upon his arrest, the accused asked Garda Ciaran Byrne: "Who am I supposed to have raped? Is this the girl from Tinder?”

The jury heard that the two individuals met three days after exchanging messages through the dating app, and began their date at a McDonalds restaurant.

The prosecutor told the court that the accused became angry when the complainant rebuffed his sexual advances before ordering her out of the car and driving off.

The court then heard that the accused returned and ordered the woman into the car before driving further into the mountains where the alleged rape took place.

Testifying in court, Dr Roz Quinn explained that the woman visited her practice on Camden Street the day after the alleged rape and was tested for sexually transmitted infections in addition to being prescribed the morning after pill.

Speaking to prosecutor, Alex Owens, Dr. Quinn provided the court with an overview of her meeting with the alleged victim.

"It was very much a non-verbal consultation, there were very little words spoken. She (the complainant) looked at the floor throughout. She was tear-stained and was wearing no make up, she didn’t look well at all.”

The trial continues, with Mr Justice Paul Butler presiding.

We'd all like to have a little extra cash money on our hands, and one girl has discovered how to make Tinder a profitable endeavour in both the romantic and financial sense.

Maggie, from the USA, has come up with a crafty way to make some money from her matches, and it's pretty simple really. 

The college student simply changed her Tinder bio and the money came rolling in. 

Her bio requests that her matched send her five dollars, or around €4.60.

When the match asks her what the five bucks will get them, she gives a pretty elusive answer.

Maggie says "send it and find out" and provides them with her email associated with her PayPal account.

The bio started as a joke, but Maggie quickly realised that it was a pretty nifty way to make some quick cash. 

"It's really a foolproof plan, because I'm not actually promising anything, I just say 'see what happens,'" she told BuzzFeed.

"A surprising amount of men take the bait," she said, which is evident when you look at the screenshot of her PayPal account that she posted to Twitter.

So what does happen when a match send the five dollars? Well, Maggie promptly un-matches with them.

"Some men get creepy and assume if they offer a lot more, like hundreds, something will actually happen, which of course it doesn't," she said.

"I figured it was too funny not to share. Also, I wanted to give more women this idea to share the wealth."

Other women have actually tried out the ploy for themselves, some to great effect.

However, Tinder bros are catching on, as another women in the comments of Maggie's tweet gave it a go and got reported, leading to her Tinder account being deleted. 

Technically she's not doing anything wrong as she never promises the matches anything, but we're not sure the lads would feel the same way.

Planning on heading home this weekend to see your mum? Well curling up on the couch for some great telly could be on the cards so. 

The much loved Tinder on the Telly returns to The Ray D'Arcy Show this Saturday, but in honour of all our mammies, the show has a serious Mother's Day twist.

Ray is teaming up with one Mum, who will chose whether to swipe right or left on potential gal pals for her single son. 

Keeping with the Mother's Day theme, there will also be special Mother's Day messages from Irish people looking to say a big thank you to their mams in a public declaration of devotion.

Ian Dempsey and Mario Rosenstock will also join Ray on the couch this week, for their first ever television interview together.

The creative minds behind Gift Grub will discuss their 18-year comedy collaboration, and they will pay homage to their favourite comedic endeavours. 

They will also share their memories of their good friend, the late Tony Fenton, as well as their plans for the future.

Rounding out the Mother's Day line-up is disability activist Joanne O' Riordan, who will drop by to chat to Ray about why Ireland is lagging behind when it comes to the human rights of people with disabilities.

On a very millennial note, she will also be chatting about her decision to give up social media for Lent, something we could never manage!

We are all guilty of having a good long snoop on Tinder when the forever-alone-feels get too much. 

However, we've never come across a celebrity while swiping, and now we know why. 

Image result for tinder swiping

Tinder has been keeping the uber-rich and famous surrounded by people of their own calibre by using a built-in platform called Tinder Select, which caters to celebrities, CEOs and the super hot. 

You have to be invited by Tinder to join this exclusive virtual dating club, with one source telling Tech Crunch that Tinder Select is for  “celebrities and people who do really well on Tinder.”

If you get invited to the exclusionary edition of the app, you can nominate fellow ballers and babes to join.

However, the app prevents the Tinder Select platform from spreading by preventing nominated members from nominating anyone else, so he pool remains filled with the attractive and successful without being spoiled by us mere peasants. 

Members can switch back and forth between Tinder Select and regular old Tinder when they're feeling up to socialising with commoners. 

 

A post shared by Tinder (@tinder) on

It's a pretty interesting concept when you consider how important privacy is to celebrities, so the platform makes a lot of sense.

Now, how do we become one of those people who "do really well on Tinder” so we can join?

No matter how hard we try, we always come back to Tinder to browse through potential baes.

There are many things that every girl sees every time they open the dating app, from GAA heads to unsolicited d*** pics, but one girl uncovered something pretty amazing while looking for a hookup. 

Natalia was browsing through the boys on the app when she stumbled upon Jared.

Rather than relying on a cheesy chat up line or a headless abs picture to secure a date, Jared opted for something a little more creative. 

Jared is clearly living his best life on the app, as he set up a creative, swipe-able photo set that would definitely make us swipe right. 

The fist picture shows Jared holding a dart, the second shows him throwing it, and the third shows the dart hitting its target, our hearts (cue the "awwwww"). 

Natalia was obviously impressed by Jared's innovative approach to Tinder, and shared his profile across social media, which has since gone viral, with over 100,000 retweets and almost 300,00 likes. 

We're sure that Jared's Tinder is blowing up right now!

We are all guilty of having a good long snoop on Tinder when the forever-alone-feels get too much. 

Now, the dating app is making some changes, and is following in the footsteps of Instagram and Facebook by possibly introducing some Snapchat-like video sharing features.

Tinder has announced a deal to take on Wheel, an app startup that allows users share collaborative video stories.

Image result for eyebrow raise

Tinder hopes to add video features to the ever-growing app, so that potential baes can share *ahem* more about themselves.

As the world's most popular dating app, Tinder makes up to 26 million matches every single day (where are all our matches, then?).

While we are all about that video sharing life, we're hoping the kinds of videos sent on the app wont be too NSFW.

I mean, there is already a d*** pic epidemic, so we can't imagine what a video sharing aspect could have the potential for.

Hopefully people will use the video concept for the intended purpose, but knowing thirsty people on the internet, probably not.

While there are plenty of ways to be judged on Tinder (not going to lie, we're judgey too) but apparently now your name could be working against you in the pursuit of Tinder love.

Thanks for that, parents.

Tinder have revealed their top ranking names of people with the most right swipes, leaving the rest of us in the dust.

Blessed with the name Hannah? You're in luck, you are most likely to get all those right swipes.

Rounding out the rest of the top five are Emma, Julia, Emily and Lauren. So if your not getting right swipes, it's because these girls are taking them all.

Is it too late to legally change our names for the sake of Tinder love?

The most swiped men's names were also revealed.

Lucas, Ryan, Matthew, Josh and Nick proved the most popular amongst the right-swiping ladies.

What's in a name, really?

So, this man believes he has the key to securing dates on Tinder.

Joe Bagel says that he has a 100 percent success rate by using this method, and it guarantees replies from the lovely ladies he's interested in.

And what is this fool-proof method? Acrostics. Yep, Joe writes poems by taking each letter of the girl's name.

For example, with a girl called Kelcie, he wrote "Kosher eggnog leaves Canadians intoxicated effortlessly."

To be fair, it's creative and thinking outside of the box, but apparently, Joe has had 500 replies from doing this, so when it gets to that extent, it could be seen as a bit cringe.

He told Medium: “It’s hard, because oftentimes girls will be so enamoured with the poems that they’ll ask you out themselves."

OK Joe, that must be very hard indeed. We can't blame him from trying, though!
