Unlike in the US or other English-speaking countries, Tinder is not yet the primary means in which people search for love.
That is not to say that it is not a popular platform; Colombia is the fifth strongest driver of traffic to the platform in Central & South America.
Data shows that 0.98% of Tinder’s traffic share comes from Colombia with over 11 million swipes made every day!
So yes, Tinder is alive and well here in Colombia.
But does that mean it is the best way to find love in Medellín?
As the footprint of foreigners has grown in recent years, Tinder’s standing has become increasingly ridiculed.
The reason for this is that although there are ‘good’ women looking for love, they are contending with prostitutes and other women that are a bit more nefarious in their motives.
For this reason, you need to be vigilant when using Tinder. It has emerged as a popular means of drugging and robbing unsuspecting men.
