Tinder is like Facebook, but it's just, like, straight to smashing.
What does "straight to smashing" mean?
I tried to find answer following below step, but it doesn't make sense. Please, help me.
Tinder is, like Facebook, a social media site, but oriented toward making new connections; it is consequently used mostly as a dating service.
Straight here is used in the sense "directly, immediately, by the shortest route".
Smash has recently accrued a new slang meaning, "have sex"—it's a relatively inoffensive way to say fuck.
So you may paraphrase your sentence as:
Tinder is like Facebook but enables its users to move more directly toward sexual encounters.
Not saying Stoney is wrong because I have never been to Tinder, but could straight to smashing also mean shortest route to excellence/the best result?
smash·ing
adjective BRITISH informal excellent; wonderful. "you look smashing!"
Google Dictionary
That phrase was specifically from episode 1 of the show Man seeking Woman and for 3 seasons the character that said it said smashing to mean having sex so, no, it doesn't have any other meaning. Watch the show and you will know what i mean.
