    24 Horror Stories That Prove Men On Tinder Are The Absolute Worst

    TL;DR delete Tinder, you deserve better.

    We recently asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about their cringiest Tinder dates. Here are some of their stories.

    1. The pre-date block.

    "Five minutes before I meet my date, he texts me and says, 'So my friend and I have this agreement. Anytime we meet a girl that we would like to date, the other has to sleep with her first. It’ll only take 10 minutes.' He tried to convince me by telling me he slept with his friend’s girlfriend the weekend before. BLOCKED."

    2. The bathroom mess.

    "Me and this guy went on a date to a local hockey game. He got so drunk that I let him pass out on my couch. A couple of hours later, I woke up and he was peeing on the carpet outside my bedroom door. He stumbled to the toilet and was in there for a while. When he was done I went to check and found that he’d shit himself and smeared it all over my bathroom."

    3. The memorable date.

    "My Tinder date announced that he'd been drinking for eight hours before we met. My friend went to college with him, so I text her to get the lowdown. She replied: 'Man child. Hot, but not worth it. MOUNTAINS of cocaine.' So I decided to leave. I got through the whole process of putting on all my layers and saying goodbye. An hour later I got a text from Tinder dude saying, 'Hey, did you leave?'"

    4. The unexpected viewing party.

    "I matched with a guy so we went out for drinks, and about an hour later he suggested we go back to his place. In the middle of the movie he starts kissing me. Eventually he stops and says, 'You know what would make this hot?' He whips out handcuffs and being drunk and horny, I agreed. He handcuffs me to a chair and says he’ll be right back. He comes back with a girl and they proceed to have sex on the couch in front of me."

    – Chris Miller, Facebook

    5. The post-date text.

    "I matched with this guy and we decided to meet up. The date was so perfect, we ended up going back to my place. He stayed the night and the next morning, we went out to breakfast. A couple of hours later, he text me saying, 'Hey I know you’re going to hate me, but I was wondering if your roommate is single by any chance?'"

    6. The fist bump.

    7. The inappropriate tickler.

    "I was talking to this guy on Tinder and we decided to meet. An hour goes by when suddenly, out of the blue, he says, 'I like to tickle people.'

    – Matthew Partlett, Facebook

    8. The first date meet and greet.

    "This guy picks me up for a date. On the way, he says he forgot something at his aunt's house and would I mind if we head there quickly. Next thing I know his aunt is ushering me in. Behind the door, his entire extended family (uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents) were standing around. He then told me to sit in the living area with the little kids while he ate a family meal next door."

    "I decided to meet my Tinder date at his house. When we got to his room he said, 'I’ve been hiding something from you' and went on to describe his secret celebrity life as a sponsored yo-yoer. The next hour was him showing me videos of him yo-yoing and talking about how he had to change his name because he was so famous amongst 10-15 year old boys."

My date turns around and says to the comedian and the entire bar, 'Yup. Rough sex time!'"
