Default Is "Tinder" safe?
Hello Ronald here

I was in london yesterday evening with my daughter who was using the app Tinder. When I asked her what it was about she said it was an app to make friends with people. I thought it seemed a bit unsafe for her to be talking to people she did not know when in a new city as she is young still.

When i researched Tinder into Bing search I realised it was a dating app. She is only 16 y old. She insists all her friends have it and that she only talks to people her own age.

Has anyone here used said app and does anyone have any stories about it ? I cant take her phone off her for no good reason but would like to know it is a safe app to use .

Ronald.

I used to use it until they cut me off

I don't think she's allowed to use it at 16. They have age limits. It's 17+ I think!

Do it now and demand to know why she's being so promiscuous.

I would but she is at the cinema now. I really hope Saph is not correct and that it is not for sex.

My daughter would not do that. R.

Excuse me Cal but my daughter is not promiscuous. I am sure she does not know what the app is for is it actually for sex. I will talk to her when she gets in from the cinema.

Nah you probably don't have anything to worry about. Obviously I don't know your daughter, but when I was 16 I used it quite frequently, and nothing dodgy ever happened. Since she's only 16, she can't match with or talk to anyone older than 17, as i'm sure you can only really match with older people when you turn 18. It links with Facebook so that's how it knows your age. Not everyone uses it as a serious dating app anyway, so she might just be using it for fun, or to discuss who she matches with, with her friends.

Hope that helped in some way lol.

Well if her friends sleep with her then maybe that is why she's using Tinder.

It has a bad reputation for being basically for flings and one night stands. It's less for "real" dating and 16 year old had nothing to do there imo.
I wouldn't go near it...

The age of consent is 16. Im not so sure thats a great idea.. Let her make the decisions that she is legally allowed to make without you..
