What would The Alan Parsons Project think of women On Tinder ?

Alright, gently tongue-in-cheek speculation mode on
If we imagine The Alan Parsons Project encountering women on Tinder, the reaction would probably be thoughtful, slightly amused, and quietly philosophical rather than judgmental.
They wouldn’t be thinking in terms of “women on Tinder” as a group so much as what Tinder represents.
From an Alan Parsons Project lens, Tinder is basically a live-action concept album about:
technology mediating intimacy
curated identities vs real selves
the illusion of infinite choice
loneliness disguised as connection
That’s prime APP territory.
They’d likely see women on Tinder as:
navigating a system optimized for surface-level signals
forced to compress personality, humor, desire, and safety into a few photos and a sentence
simultaneously empowered by choice and constrained by algorithms
Very I, Robot, honestly.
Alan Parsons himself—very measured, analytical—might quietly admire how strategically many women use the platform:
“Fascinating how presentation, psychology, and timing intersect here.”
Eric Woolfson (the more narrative, emotional side of the Project) would probably zoom in on:
the disconnect between profiles and reality
romantic expectation vs outcome
the quiet melancholy behind constant swiping
Something like:
“So many faces, so many stories… and still, everyone feels slightly alone.”
They wouldn’t be scandalized or dismissive. If anything, they’d find it tragic, clever, and faintly ironic—a digital ballroom where everyone’s dancing, but nobody’s sure who’s actually watching.
