dc.description.abstract | Mobile applications expand possibilities for interaction and extend
the boundaries of communication. Regarding online dating, Tinder
is one of those applications that make it easier to connect people,
and it brings out a new concept of relationship in which emotional
bonds are established in a virtual space. However, it is relevant to
investigate whether Tinder enables women’s empowerment and how
the user-mobile device interaction and the graphical user interface
bear upon gender dynamics. Forty women were interviewed and
the findings show that Tinder is not meeting women’s expectations,
rather it is stimulating the objectification of women. Considering that
online dating is a growing trend and that it can be a revolutionary tool
to connect people, we analysed the interface and pointed out some
issues that should be considered to enhance women’s experience. | en |
