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."

Over 40M people of Irish descent are in the United States, 8x more than the population of Ireland

The Irish people (Irish: Muintir na hÉireann or Na hÉireannaigh) are a nation and ethnic group native to the island of Ireland, who share a common Irish ancestry, identity and culture. Ireland has been inhabited for about 9,000 years according to archaeological studies (see Prehistoric Ireland). For most of Ireland's recorded history, the Irish have been primarily a Gaelic people (see Gaelic Ireland). Anglo-Normans conquered parts of Ireland in the 12th century, while England's 16th/17th century (re)conquest and colonization of Ireland brought a large number of English and Lowland Scots to parts of the island, especially the north. Today, Ireland is made up of the Republic of Ireland (an independent state), and the smaller Northern Ireland (a part of the United Kingdom). The people of Northern Ireland hold various national identities; including Irish, Northern Irish, British, or some combination thereof. The Irish have their own customs, language, music, dance, sports, cuisine,

TIL the first animal to ask an existential question was from a parrot named Alex. He asked what color he was, and learned that it was "grey".

Alex (1976 – 6 September 2007) was an African grey parrot and the subject of a thirty-year (1977–2007) experiment by animal psychologist Irene Pepperberg, initially at the University of Arizona and later at Harvard University and Brandeis University. When Alex was about one year old, Pepperberg bought him at a pet shop. The name "Alex" was a backronym for avian language experiment, or avian learning experiment. Before Pepperberg's work with Alex, it was widely believed in the scientific community that a large primate brain was needed to handle complex problems related to language and understanding; birds were not considered to be intelligent, as their only common use of communication was mimicking and repeating sounds to interact with each other. However, Alex's accomplishments supported the idea that birds may be able to reason on a basic level and use words creatively. Pepperberg wrote that Alex's intelligence was on a level similar to dolphins and great apes. S
