I think this type of angle for dating is interesting - Tinder is testing this out in Australia at the moment but hoping to roll it out globally soon.
I Tinder poorly, never talk to anyone and when it gets to arranging a date - I cancel. Just still trying to come to terms of the whole situation really.
In my head I think groups would make it easier and then I remember who my mates are and think its an absolutely terrible idea. In theory it sounds good but practically I think it would be an absolute shambles - at least for me anyway!
I would like it to work, and for me to not have to do the matching, thinking of hilarious ice-breakers and all that. Just meet people in real life because of my friends. That's been the most efficient way I've met anyone in the past.
You can see a write up on The Next Web: Tinder wants you to bring your embarrassing friends on your already awkward date

@bentossell Hey, I'm in Australia and I got the notification for this today. I must admit, I laughed a bit when Tinder told me it's extending its brand into group "dating"

@rossdcurrie I think in my head I run the perfect scenario of meeting someone through friends, and now it's that but on tinder. But I know my friends and I have no hope for me haha

@rrhoover it's totally what I was getting at with @bentossell - I was just keeping it above board. But now that Gizmodo has written about it... http://gizmodo.com/tinders-newes...

Great stuff @bentossell. Been waiting for this, as this opens up Tinder for people that are scared to meet/date one on one. Also groups are up and coming for all industries. All about Trust.

@heinemeyer12 you're exactly right! Not only does it enable trust but it also gets rid of any awkwardness or anxiety you might have when you meet someone new! 🤗

A few years ago I went on a Grouper, a "date" with a few friends and three women we haven't met or seen before. They were fun, although it wasn't something I'm interested in doing regularly.
@jmj - I like the idea. When are you rolling this out beyond Australia? And why'd you choose to test in Australia?

@rrhoover @jmj I'm curious on why Australia too, being from there. I feel like it may be because we have highly centralised population? Or maybe because we're a nice microcosm reflective somewhat of the US?

I got this activated today in LA. Mixed groups of guys and girls were offered to me, but none with all girls. Was surprised by that...

@briansventures with Clique Meet you're able to choose the gender and see groups that specifically have the same gender within their clique 😁
