Tinder: The New Dating App for College Students I Find Incredibly Creepy.

Step foot on any college campus and the name “Tinder” is bound to creep up–emphasis on “creep,” because the iOS app does nothing but make me feel uncomfortable.

To put it simply, Tinder focuses on one question: Hot or not? The dating app anonymously matches users with people within a 50 mile radius of them, and gives them the option of pressing a red X (Not interested! Sorry, I’m not sorry.) or a green heart (Smokeshow! Like me?!). If both people express interest, Tinder notifies them and they’re allowed to start building a budding mobile romance.

Now, users login through Facebook, so Tinder can generate an account consisting of a profile picture, age and location, as well as allow people to see if they share any mutual friends or interests with other users.

Sounds way less creepy than, say, Match com or OKCupid, right?

Well, I just downloaded the app and have been yaying or naying people for a solid 30 minutes–all in the name of journalistic research, of course. What I realized, however, is that my own profile is flawed.

It says I’m 12. Yes, 12 years old.

Somehow, my birthday on Facebook–which I correctly entered in (8/9/89, for anyone wondering. Feel free to buy presents.)–didn’t sync with the app, meaning I’m now a 12-year-old 23 year old. How alarming is that? How can I trust anyone else’s age when my own has timewarped me back to the eighth grade?

Taylor Armstrong Talks Russell Armstrong’s Death,

‘Hiding From Reality’

Appearing on the “Today” show Monday morning to promote her new book, “Hiding From Reality,” Taylor Armstrong shared some very personal scenes from her violent marriage with deceased husband Russell Armstrong. The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star revealed that her initial decision to sign up for the reality show was fueled by a subconscious thought that the 24/7 cameras would provide her and her daughter a degree of safety.

“I thought the cameras would provide some protection,” Armstrong explained.

Contrary to reports that Russell was uncomfortable with the reality show’s media attention, Taylor explained that he actually “loved seeing his name in the news” and was excited every morning to check his name in a Google search.

But Armstrong’s memoir doesn’t only focus on her relationship with her husband but also highlights her childhood, during which her mother was a victim of abuse. The reality star remembers standing on her bed as a child wearing blue footy pajamas, pulling her father’s hair while he beat her mother — an experience that no doubt impacted her adult relationship with her alleged physically abusive husband.

But despite the pain that Russell caused in her life, Taylor was clear that she still has love for her deceased husband: “I love him to this day and miss him terribly … The good times were the best I’ve ever had and the worst times were the worst I’ve ever had.”

Armstrong’s book, “Hiding From Reality”, goes on sale today.
