REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE

"She deleted every dating app, honestly it's less Tinder, more Strava for her whole friend group now."

LORE & ORIGIN

Coined as a shorthand contrasting the two apps directly, capturing a wider RunTok-era mood that dating-app fatigue is pushing people toward in-person, activity-based meeting instead.
