SOMBRA, ON—Jerry Meadows believes in "better late than never." More specifically, he believes in "better late and shielded from rejection by a phone screen, than never."

"Before Tinder, going home was brutal," Meadows explains. "Now, this little flame on my phone lets me know which of my old flames are still available. You know? Who's still down for a trip to Pound Town."

Something about the way Meadows says "Pound Town" suggests that the population of said town has historically been 1.

"And on the ride to Pound Town," Meadows continues, gesturing to his one-pack abs, "you'll wanna look out the window because it's a hell of a view."

Meadows continues enthusiastically talking about Pound Town until we can refocus him.

"Right, so, I haven't met up with any of these ladies yet, but I'm in town for a few more days and before I leave, I plan on proving that 'single' mattress is really just a name."

We caught up with some of Meadows' Tinder matches to get their thoughts on the matter.

"It's a little weird," Haley Smith confesses. "I right-swiped out of courtesy, but I thought it would be for a quick laugh. Like, why would we flirt on Tinder? He's had me on Facebook since 2007. He liked my profile picture this morning!"

The trend seems to continue, as Jen David also expresses her confusion about the hometown hero's advances.

"Why now?" she asks. "We've known each other since elementary school. He's been to parties at my house and barely said 'hi'. Now, he thinks he can waltz back from the big city and we'll all be waiting for him?!"

Some, however, refuse to give Meadows the time of day.

"I left swiped him immediately," Beth Barlow says. "He lives down the street. What do I need to meet him online for? I could hit his house with an egg from here. And I just might. The prick."
