My nephew met his wife on tinder. YMMV.

I met my wife on Tinder, it was a bit awkward when we both got back home that evening.

Tinder and Grindr are not the same thing.

I think you spelled YMCA wrong but I don't know how is that relevant to the previous part of your comment

YMMV is "your mileage may vary", I believe.

OK and only one person won the 1 billion dollar lottery. So they are the 1%, LOL

Except it’s not all that uncommon at all.

I imagine you’re part of an older generation because if you were in your 20s or early 30s probably half the people you know have met their long term partners on Tinder or similar.

I know tons of people in successful relationships and marriages who met via dating apps. I’m still friends with people I met on dating apps and dated in the past. These sites/apps are just a tool for meeting people. Nothing inherently bad about them, but you still need to be smart, just like any social situation with new people.
