Sure, using apps like Tinder and Hinge to date can be convenient, but...let's just say it's a minefield out there. Here are just a few profiles and messages from this year that people shared that made me cringe so hard, I almost swore off dating.
1. Interesting choice to disparage people for using the app HE'S also using:
2. I don't even care if this is a joke. If I saw this, I would simply close the app for the day:
3. Love encountering so many nice guys on these apps:
4. Yeah, you sound like a real nice guy:
5. Well, that's...forward for an opener:
6. Please stop it with the combative, misogynistic intros. Actually, don't — it helps weed people out:
7. Love it when guys immediately try to send a dick pic:
8. And give their unsolicited opinions on style choices:
9. Just one question...what in the actual fuck is going on here?:
10. Dude, this is a Tinder bio, not a drunken rant to your bro:
11. At least they're vaccinated:
12. "If that's a dealbreaker please kys." Jesus, dude:
13. I really don't know why some men like to use Tinder as their own personal soapbox for their offensive opinions. It's a dating app?!:
14. Got to agree with OP — this dude definitely has a neck beard:
15. I think this guy mixed up car shopping and relationships:
16. If this person wants a woman this specific, he should just create her in a lab:
17. "Gangster mind and a loving heart." Mmmkay:
18. I can't with this opener:
19. And they say women care too much about height. Also, Tinder should have a no-racists policy:
20. Really not sure who this is supposed to attract:
22. I'd rather not pick you at all:
23. The emojis just make it worse (if that's even possible):
24. This woman has incel energy:
25. There's a lot of great (by which I mean horrible) ones here, but I'm going to put the worst below:
26. Come for the combative, sexist bio, and stay for the "off the grid" and "gym rat":
27. And finally, please don't even give your Tinder match an exit survey:
