    Yeah that’s like saying someone setting you up on a blind date is arranging a marriage for you

      Yeah. But I wonder if this is catering for those people whilst framing it another way, or if people really have some good use for their mom/dad choosing their partners.

          Yeah, guess you’re right. And the overlap between “we need to find you a righteous man / timid girl from our own religuous community” and “my son/daughter uses tinder” is small enough so it’s not of any concern.

          I wouldn’t like somebody else pick my dates. But I guess I’m going to read another article at some point, outlining some use-case for this.

        Do you think any person whose parents practice arranged marriage would let said parents know of their tinder account? Or even that they have one?

          I’m not part of that culture so I have difficulties emathizing… I suppose that’s often more forced on them. Not a thing they do out of their own free will.
