Tinder CEO Sean Rad described his own adventures with the popular dating app in a recent interview. He talked about what he finds attractive in a potential partner, but somehow confused that with the word “sodomy.” Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss.

Do you have any Tinder stories? How did Rad not know what sodomy meant? Let us know in the comments below.

“Sean Rad, the 29-year-old co-founder and CEO of Tinder, wants me to believe he’s a “romantic”, who is “ready to settle down” and have “lots of children”. In fact, the last woman he shared a bedroom with was his mother, Fariba, when he took her to Rome recently — although he nearly fled after seeing all her make-up in the bathroom (“I have OCD”) and only changed his mind because “I felt bad. I haven’t seen her in so long and wanted to be a good son”.

It’s not what I was expecting of the co-founder of a dating app now synonymous with casual sex and unwanted pictures of penises. Not to mention the fact that Rad was briefly stripped of his CEO-ship after a sexual harassment case that lost his best friend and co-founder Justin Mateen his job. Mateen sent Whitney Wolfe, a former girlfriend and Tinder’s vice-president of marketing, abusive texts — including one accusing her of flirting with “middle-aged Muslim pigs”. Wolfe settled for a reported $2 million and founded Bumble, a rival app.

In person Rad seems more geek than jock. He tells me he was thrilled that his audience at the recent Web Summit in Dublin was “bigger than Instagram’s” and full of “screaming” fans. “It was like a concert,” he says. “Tech, I guess, is more important than it was. It’s like the new rock.”
