Tinderdusting 

When you are traveling (driving, train, flying) to other cities and are swiping on dating apps at the same time thus bypassing any radius filters potential matches may have leaving ‘likes’ across america like dust. Rooted from the word “cropdusting” where a plane flies over an area and drops it’s (grain, water, food, etc) over a wide area quickly. Likewise if you are a man doing this you are “Tinderpan” and if you’re a girl you’re a “Tinderbell.” Three swipes to the right and one night stands til morning!!
My friend and I were driving from Pennsylvania to Maryland and I noticed he pulled out tinder while we were driving. I asked him why is he swiping on tinder when he doesn’t even live down this way. He said “I’m Tinderdusting. I’m spreading my likes across america.”
