Tinder is dated. So are other dating apps that gained momentous popularity in the past few years. People are now resorting to older social media platforms to find their forever love, as evident from the hashtag #Twinder trending on Twitter for hours. Pioneered by organizer and educator Cherrell Brown aka Big Relly, the idea did not take long to captivate the regular users of the micro-blogging site. "Alright, the #twinder rules: post pic(s) along w/area & what you’re looking for — a date? homegirls? Brunch buddies? winter time boo? A third? I encourage folks to let it be known if you’re strictly het. Add the hashtag #twinder so other participants can find you!" Brown wrote while proposing the idea. 

"#Twinder has spawned dozens of friendships, relationships, some engagements and a few trips to the alter! So go get your fav selfies together, and get ready to PLAY!!!," she added about the concept of Twitter dating. While many netizens definitely warmed up to the idea and promptly tweeted their photos and personal details, some decided to play around by sparking a meme fest. From Jason Voorhees to Doge, Twitterati hilariously imagined the Twinder profiles of their favorite pop culture characters.
