Who exactly is Tinder pissing off? I feel like the author is completely misunderstanding one key thing about Tinder: it isn't really a dating app, it's a "hook up" app. Hook up apps have always offended and pissed people off, but I'd say Tinder is doing the exact opposite. They have managed, and this is why I'm so impressed with them, to make what is essentially used for finding sex almost classy. Most women would never sign up for Adult Friend Finder (sorry guys, those ads are lies), and if they did they would certainly make sure no one they knew ever found out about it for fear of being shamed. Yet almost every college aged girl I've talked to has openly signed up for Tinder. The lesson to take away from this, in my opinion, is the subtlety of Tinder. Tinder presents itself as a tame dating app, but it's designed in a way that's used for something else. Because of the way Tinder looks on the outside people are open about using it, even though everyone knows what's on the inside.
I would say a combination of people with delicate sensibilities. Bring it up with in conversation with friends(not just the boys but the girls too, your mother and female relitives as well). Also by forcing facebook they are at minimum mildly annoying your averedge spammers(not the expert spammers).
I agree about the college age girl. The upcoming generation might be called the "voyeur" generation posting everything with out shame but the curve of women steeply drops off as you get older.

Is anyone else distracted by the fact that it is raining on the inside of the screen?
I wonder when modern site design will finally mean aesthetically pleasing but easy to read and quick to load. Here's a mirror[0] that's just that.

I think it's the next generation in responsive web design. Responsive to what the content of the post is trying to convey or perhaps the innermost feelings of the author as they were writing this post.

Good feeback. I am a crap designer, that is a theme I bough because I am cheap. It was worse. When I bought it there was sound too. Consider the rain gone.
It actually really bothers me and makes me uneasy.
