Tinder is helping psychopaths to live out their fantasies of cheating on their significant others, a study has found.
The ego boost of having people 'swipe right' for users with psychopathic tendencies is leading more and more to turn to the mobile dating app, a study found.
Scientists who studied cheaters on the app found one in five of them had psychopathic traits.
Three hundred people admitted to be using Tinder despite already being in a relationship
In the study, published in the journal 'Computers in Human Behavior', scientists from Erasmus University Rotterdam set out to discover why people in relationships use the app.
Of 1,500 people surveyed, 300 were already in a 'committed' partnership.
Many of them had already seen success on Tinder - but went back from more after promising to stay monogamous.
Those studied showed some frightening traits.
'Partnered Tinder users reported lower scores on agreeableness and conscientiousness and higher scores on neuroticism and psychopathy compared to people in a committed relationship who did not use a dating app,' lead author Elisabeth Timmermans told Psypost.
'Interestingly, partnered Tinder users with a higher score on psychopathy were also more likely to use Tinder for casual sex and reported a higher number of one night stands with other dating app users.'
Those in relationships were not looking for love, but were more often 'curious' it was found.
Those who were already part of a couple showed extremely different personalities to single users.
Tinder users were found to have Psychopathic tendencies when they were studied by scientists - one in five of them had partners already
Overall, higher scores on psychopathy and Machiavellianism were found in the cheaters. They more often than not had a sexual motive for using Tinder - for an ego boost.
'Our findings leave me wondering whether dating apps might be a threat to romantic relationships,' said Timmermans.
'Of course our findings are too preliminary to make such conclusions, but they already suggest that some people (i.e., with certain personality traits) might be more susceptible to using dating apps for infidelity purposes than others.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
