What Tinder Would Have Looked Like Had We Used It In The 1980s

The 1980s were a weird time. Hair bands, punk rock and a slightly less creepy Madonna. To play a video game you had to visit something called an arcade. And the home computer was just starting to take over our lives thanks that awesome newfangled thing called dial-up Internet.

Dating too was a whole lot different back in the 1980s. In order to get a date, 9 times out of 10 you had to actually meet the person you wanted to go out on a date with face to face. So just imagine if Tinder had existed back then. Oh how life would have been so much better. Right?

Of course using Tinder itself would have been a tad bit more of chore than it is today.

Man, the 1980s kind of sucked.

A look at what Instagram would have been like in the 1980s yields equally horrifying results.
