Tinder dating app shedding its sleazy reputation
New York
SHANA Claudio left the bar in Manhattan for her third Tinder date of the day. She had already met a finance type for brunch that Sunday in October 2013 through the dating app (he was a bit superficial), and she found the second guy, whom she met for a drink, forgettable.
By now it was early evening, and Ms Claudio, who now works in corporate communications, was scheduled to go on a date at a nearby bar with a guy named Ken. He turned out to be Ken Andrews, a 33-year-old surgeon in his fourth year of medical residency at New York University who thought Ms Claudio was a "total knockout." After three hours of conversation, he walked her home, giving her a quick kiss at her doorstep.
