We are becoming so fickle and self involved. Always looking for the next best thing - especially when it comes to people.

Yet we are all still longing for human connection. Whitney Wolfe

I'm very artistic and creative, disorganised - ambitious, I would say, if that even makes sense. I'm definitely not the most mathematical person in the world; not scientific.

I truly believe that what we're seeing with online dating is very similar to what happened with the Myspace-Facebook era, where Myspace was once this place for online connecting for a very select group of young people.

When I left Tinder, I had no intention of getting back into the dating industry. What I ultimately wanted to do was start this contagious complimentary social network, where kindness was at the helm. Whitney Wolfe

There's nothing wrong with taking yourself out of the dating pool. You don't need to be in a relationship because that's what society expects of you or because your grandmother thinks you need to be married by a certain date. Those days are over. Instead, take a step back and say, 'I'm OK alone.' Whitney Wolfe

When you're setting up your dating profile, choose the photos according to who you are today. A variety of recent shots that are a true representation of your character. Whitney Wolfe
