Document Summary
When the girls met together to use tinder they felt embarrassed and awkward! I observed girls in a group and then i observed the women one-on-one! I found that girls were more honest when i observed them one-on-one! They would ask each other for advice on whether to swipe left or right! Usually using tinder is a private matter or done with very close friends ! After the group was comfortable with each other they would ask advise ! They were not fully honest on why they were on tinder ! Sarah, 20 years old, white, middle class, ut student: used tinder for personal satisfaction, would not communicate if she made a match , entertainment , getting to know people in new places ! Emmanuelle, 20 years old, african-american, middle-class, ut student ! Bored, downloaded the app out of curiousness ! Never communicated when she matched with people!
