Half the fun of Tinder is making fun of the people you come across with your friends, which is why Tinder Live With Lane Moore is such a delight. (Full disclosure: Lane is a sex and relationships editor here at Cosmopolitan.com.)
The premise is simple: Lane uses Tinder in real time onstage every month. The audience cheers and boos to help determine her swipes: swipe right to the dude who looks like that guy from the new Jennifer Lopez movie, swipe a big fat LEFT to the guy who has nothing but group photos, or as Lane calls it (and the audience shouts in unison), "Which One Is It?" Lane then analyzes the profiles and makes mile-a-minute jokes based on their photos and bio. And since Tinder is based on location, matches are often in the neighborhood — so it's not uncommon for Lane to actually invite the people she matches with to the show or call them live on stage, like she does in the video below.
Earlier this month, part of the Orange Is the New Black cast joined Lane at two shows, with Connie Shulman (Yoga Jones), Beth Fowler (Sister Jane Ingalls), Laura Gomez (Blanca Flores), and Lin Tucci (Anita DeMarco) offering their advice on which guys she should date. When Lane matched with mega-hottie Hussein, they guided her through the ensuing conversation. (For your own safety, please wear goggles while watching the video clip below, as Hussein's smile may permanently blind you.)
Receiving dating advice from Yoga Jones, a.k.a the voice of Patty Mayonnaise: I'd swipe right to that opportunity any day.
