It’s one of the most talked-about dating apps, having developed a reputation for enabling an ‘instant gratification’ Internet sex culture along with recent controversy over the number of users who are married or attached.
Now Tinder is hitting the headlines yet again with an experiment conducted by a female user which demonstrates how bad men are at following instructions.
“Asked men not to message me unless they’ve read 5 books by women,’ tweeted Tinder user ‘Tegan’ who posts under the handle @BellJarred. “So you can guess how well that is going.”

To illustrate her point, she posted two examples of messages from her male Tinder ‘matches’.
In one message, ‘Jamie’ declared he has read ‘zero’ books by female authors, but added: “But give good head so half is not bad lol. I do listen to a fair few audiobooks.
“I’m just going with what it says on your bio. I don’t read much tbh. I’m a big music fan.”
Another match struggled to name five female authors, coming up with “Ayn Rand, Susan Sontag, Azir Nafisi and Ann Lambton.”

“Men reaaallly aren’t understanding my ‘don’t message me unless you’ve read 5 books written by women’ rule on Tinder,” tweeted a frustrated Tegan.
Tinder also recently came under the spotlight with an article in the September issue of Vanity Fair magazine.
Entitled, ‘Tinder and The Dawn Of The Dating Apocalypse,’ it alleged that 30 per cent of the apps users were married.
Tinder says the figure is closer to “1.7 per cent.”
