Did you know that African bullfrogs create homes out of their mucus and spit to survive the winter? Just like Gen Z-ers and pandemic dating, they’ve learned to adapt. This year, despite everything going on, those looking for love didn’t miss a beat!
Lucky for us curious cats, Tinder watched everything that happened on its app like it was a BBC special on the animal kingdom. The only difference? Well, in 2020 they probably would have seen more spit in a critter docuseries… because everyone but the bullfrogs was advised to keep it to themselves.
In a blog posted to their official site on Thursday, the revolutionary dating app published a list of popular bio mentions, pickup lines, songs, and emojis. From shock and disconnect to empowerment and pride, prepare to feel more than Kyle did when he matched with Becky.
