College students are a tender on ' friends '

College Students say it is not love, but the friendship that you are using dating application for.

In a survey of 100 college students, 73% ranked Tinder as your favorite dating app, followed by Bumble (13%) and OkCupid (10%). One student even stated Facebook as her favorite dating site.

The survey, conducted by level jobs College startup WayUp (formerly Campus Job), asked the students of college about their dating habits.

Students say that they do not use Tinder – or other meetings applications – to this day. The majority (58%) said that they have never even gone to a date using popular applications.

53% say they use meetings applications to find friends, 27% said that they are seeking a significant other, and the smallest percentage, 20%, said they were looking for a connection.

It is not that the popularity of Amadou on University campuses has declined. The students of the College were among Tinder most active users when the service was launched in 2012. Amadou, who is owned by the Group Match now public (MTCH), says 50% of its members are in the college age group - 18-24.

Sydney Mastrandrea, a sophomore at the University of Miami, said that the fact that students say use the application to find friends is probably not the whole truth.

"I think people use [Tinder] random adapters rather than [find] friends-but they say it is for" friends ", so they are not judged,

By Jason Helfstein, an Internet analyst Oppenheimer & What., it does not matter why the students are using the application, there is the "value" in the Tinder-and Match Group.

Dating industry analyst Mark Brooks agrees.

"It helps people connect with the concept of internet dating," he said, as people begin to look more serious relations "will generally drift towards other services."

Those services, offer paid subscriptions. Tinder, on the other hand, only recently rolled out its Tinder Plus premium services in an attempt to start monetizing your application.

Those who pay for services may not be college students, though.

While the Tinder doesn,t describe the demographic information about its subscribers, online dating analyst said that it,s likely not a hit with the younger set. "There is no money for anyone under 22."

‘SNL': Watch golden showers ruin Alec Baldwin’s Trump’s first press conference “I’m not talking about the peepee because it didn’t happen it wasn’t as cool as it sounds,” says faux Trump After almost a month’s break, “Saturday Night Live” is back and didn’t miss a beat tackling Donald Trump’s first press conference since winning the election and nothing was off limits — not even golden showers. With Alec Baldwin returning as the president-elect, “SNL” kicked off the faux news conference by solidifying the fact that yes, Trump really will be the country’s president in a few short days. “I would like to start by answering the question, what’s on everyone’s mind — yes, this is me live,” said Baldwin as Trump. “On January 20th, I, Donald Trump, will become the 41st president of the United States. Two months later Mike Pence will become the 42nd.” You can check out the full sketch up above. Also Read: 'SNL' Cold Open Brings Back Baldwin's Trump, John Goodman Depresses as R...

North Carolina's 'bathroom bill' battle embarrasses residents on both sides | TheNews Linzer

The escalating fight over LGBT rights has turned the historically sophisticated, inclusive southern state into a battleground of intolerance In the family of southern states, North Carolina has long been the cousin who made it. It enjoyed excellent universities, world-class industries, smooth roads and political stability. A whole class of people arose called “halfbacks”: people who retired from the north-east states to Florida, only to realize North Carolina was better and moved halfway back. Now, with the state squaring off against the federal government about who can use which bathrooms, the state finds itself at the pointy end of jokes, and lumped in with more strident southern states like Mississippi and – most bitterly – South Carolina. It’s unfamiliar for North Carolinians. It’s uncomfortable. And many are asking: how did we get here? How did the high-achieving, well-educated cousin end up with a black eye and busted knuckles, reeling over a public toilet? Continue reading....
