One thing about Tinder, it sure made me realize how many young women in these stereotypically female jobs - stewardess, receptionist, dental hygienist, hairstylist, aesthetician/makeup girl, elementary school teacher - there were.

I’d heard The Kids were using Instagram as Facebook these days, but looking through my matches and their “moments” I’m starting to suspect they’re using Tinder as Instagram.

Getting old is so confusing.
