In its quest to maintain dominance in the world of social media, Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) has spent the last few years trying to step on the toes of the massively popular dating app Tinder. However, Elie Seidman -- CEO of Tinder since November 2017 -- said last week that the product's prestige among young adults will allow it to withstand competition, even from the world's premier social network.

Last year, after teasing a potential dating product at its F8 developer conference, Facebook began rolling out Facebook Dating in several countries. The results were mixed at best. One of its proposed features, the so-called Secret Crush option, would allow users to assemble a secret list of friends that they were romantically interested in. The function was almost immediately slammed as "creepy" by a host of publications and social media commentators.
