Why try when you can watch others fail!
The internet has revolutionized so much of our lives - drones deliver packages to our houses, we can keep in touch with our loved ones around the world, and with Tinder and other dating apps - we can use terrible, punny pickup lines from the comfort of our homes. Ain't life grand?
The emotionally stunted, albeit pun-inclined, ever inappropriate Tinder pickup fiends (see last week's batch here) are back at it again this week to keep us entertained and a little bit discouraged with the state of the modern dating climate. Wonder if any of these clowns got the anywhere after 'breaking the ice.'
Well, it turns out that people don't care if you're a convicted child rapist on Tinder, as long as you're really attractive.
This 'experiment' was run by a user on Reddit who created a fake profile of a supremely attractive male model who confesses to 'wanting to be with kids'. The experiment itself is pretty f**ked up, but the reactions are even more so.
Never forget the rules of Tinder:
Step 1: Be Attractive
Step 2: Don't Be Unattractive
Just when you thought modern day dating was utterly doomed, we come across this collection of particularly humorous and likable individuals.
There is also this list of Tinder Conversations that are hilarious and horrendous at the same time. Also some Tinder Moments worth encapsulating into a listicle and as well as these plain old tinder screenshots
I'll be the first to say that I'm as weary as the rest of you when it comes to the latest assemblage of funny, strange, cringe-packed modern (so...Tinder) dating moments. More often than not, we're left scratching our heads, legitamately discouraged or confused with the current state of dating affairs as a millennial. Are we devolving when it comes to dating, or are these convos and wildly creative profiles natural symptoms of progress? Probably a bit of both.
If you guys ever encounter any remarkably twisted Tinderers (we'll pretend that's a word for the meanwhile), and you're down to share your convo/profile please submit 'dem screenshots over here! We're always game to credit and feature community submissions.
Much like approaching someone in a bar, dating apps leave you vulnerable to all sorts of rejection. Whether the person you've matched with straight-up ignores your messages, or they reply politely telling you that they're not interested, unfortunately, it's all part of the dating game. One girl on Tinder, however, clearly doesn't understand the rules, and upon being explained to politely by a guy she had matched with that he had met someone else, she lost her mind and went totally berserk. Check out how calmly he manages the situation and how
This is certainly one of the more aggressive dating stories we've come across in a while, but hey, leave it to Tinder to inspire some modern day madness.
