Ross Geller's 'Unagi' to Joey's 'How You Doing': Tinder Bios are Seeing Spike in FRIENDS Mention

Pop-culture references have often influenced dating choices and it has many a times seemed far too important for romance hopefuls to look for a shared interest while looking out for a love match. A recent study by dating platform Tinder India has revealed just how the show seems to have cast a spell on even Generation Z on a huge scale who aren’t shying away from casually throwing in references to the show when it comes to their Tinder bios, or descriptions on their dating profiles. Since April, there has been a 3.5 times increase in mentions of ‘Friends Reunion’ on Tinder this year in April as compared to the year before. If one were to look at some technical statistics, there have been over 90 percent of Tinder bios that have found mention of Friends among the Gen Z people. Contrary to Joey, I do share my food Tinder India often has been seen to engage with users on social media with various mentions of FRIENDS references and users have also equally reciprocated, reestablishing the effect the show’s had on people across generations, despite it being more than 25 years ago since the show first aired.
