Never heard of swipe right before - had to look it up. I was thinking of swipe left to get to the delete option for email. So who is the target audience? Those that travel a lot are probably not those who are part of the social media generation except for perhaps those who get take a year off to travel (which is a really good idea). So I guess it is lost on me.

The millennial bashing here and on other FF sites is really getting out of control. I've been reading these boards on a semi-daily basis since I started seriously traveling for work about three years ago and never once remember reading a thread about the shortcomings of the baby boomer generation. Don't turn into that angry old person!!

It makes about as much sense as all the other typecasting and lumping together based on arbitrary criteria that basically all humans do to basically all other humans...

Typical millennial.While no one can help you about typecasting. You will have your chance to bash the upcoming gen Z when they come of age.

There is actually more to that than social media. But this is no Facebook, it is a 'hookup' app. This is a mechanism for 'Tinder'. Look in the picture, there are few couples and hearts flying. The real 'read between the line' message for Millennials are "World Travelers are more likely to get laid".
With that I vote "Lame". It says "Spend Money and post about how opulent your lifestyle is so you are more likely to get laid on Tinder". Which for many I know that the category is their theory on their social media life. I'm 33 so I believe that means I am included in the basic millennial definition.

Think of all the vapid news articles about millennials not wanting to work, not being able to interact without using a phone, being unable to manage money etc and then just substitute in any race for millennial. Imagine the outrage...
