Here I discuss:
► Tinder App
► Bumble App

Dating app Matches and game High Scores have much in common. While we practice, train with the game patterns and rise the difficulty to attain good rankings in games, we hire Tinder photographs for the best dating pictures, talk to dating coaches to improve our biography text, and buy premium features to go in par with those too handsome to get matches easily. Like a lootbox, we pay to be better in gaming… and dating.
How does the gamification in dating apps shape our personal performance? How do economic, cultural and erotic capital work in these apps, and how do we see dating as a videogame to become “Pro Daters”?
