Dating someone for the status they lend you — the throne, not the person. One of a set of words a dating app released in December 2024 to describe behaviour that has existed since thrones.
The definition implies everyone used Throning the same way. They did not. There were at least two camps by the second month, and they did not like each other.
Filed with 'freak matching' from the same press release. The record notes that dating apps now publish vocabulary annually, like a fashion house, and that some of it sticks.
For whoever reads this in ten years: Throning arrived in December 2024 and for about a month it was the only correct response to anything. Then it became a response to itself.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
