The world of online dating, albeit exciting and fun, is also full of the unknown. Despite profile facts and pictures, there's always a possibility that the person on the other end isn't everything they make themselves out to be on their profile. First dates are awkward enough without the element of mystery involved in online dating. The rise of mobile dating apps have given an entirely new meaning to the term "online dating." What was once a concept attached with stigmas, and virtually untouched by younger generations has been fully incorporated into the lives of teens and twenty-somethings alike.
Tinder is one of the most popular dating apps in the world today. The convenience with which it allows users to easily view potential partners has landed it on smartphone screens everywhere. In a video titled "Fat Girl Tinder Date (Social Experiment)" the hosts behind YouTube channel "Simple Pickup" set ought to discover what happens when a Tinder match is drastically different in person than on mobile.
With the help of a 24-year-old Tinder-user named Sarah, "Simple Pickup"conducts an experiment to see how men react when their Tinder date turns out to be a few pounds heavier in person. Sarah is fully transformed with makeup and a fat suit to give her the appearance of an overweight woman. The interactions between her and the Tinder matches are recorded from hidden cameras nearby, and the footage is insightful to say the least.
