dating apps

You know when you're on Tinder, and you swipe past those cringey profiles with no photos of a person? And you're just like, "this guy is definitely married, right"? Well, unfortunately for me, I regularly get super-liked by those dudes. I have no idea what it is about me that screams "I'll help you cheat", but it's pretty insulting. And a little flattering. Let's be honest - a super like is a super like. I usually just report profiles like that, but I decided to try something out: matching with them and talking to them. Just to see if they would be as creepy as I assumed.

 For experimental integrity (because this is for science), I only responded to men who messaged me first, and I expanded my age filter because I figured the older sector would have more of this type of profile (absolutely right, it turns out). Here are my results. Prepare to be disappointed by dating app men yet again! 

A whole lot of people have found their significant others on dating apps, and I'm just having a hard time understanding how TF they succeeded at finding someone. I mean, are we using the same dating apps? Because I find that pretty darn hard to believe. Finding my boo on a dating app is like waiting for rain in a drought - useless and disappointing (okay, yes, I quoted Hilary Duff in Cinderella Story but it's very applicable to the situation). The people of Twitter know that dating apps are the opposite of what they promise, and they publish golden tweets about it on a weekly basis. Scroll down for our fave pics of the week. 

Dating apps are weird AF already, but there's something about Tinder that makes it the weirdest of them all. Maybe it has to do with the fact that it's the most known hookup app, but who knows? All we know is that there have been some hilarious exchanges on the app. Twitter account TinderScaries documents the best Tinder conversations, and we're always here to grab the best ones.  Scroll down for our top picks of the week. 

Don't you hate when people in pure, loving relationships recommend putting yourself out there via dating apps? I mean, have they been on dating apps?! They're total cesspools that offer darkness instead of the love that they promise to provide. Okay, so I'm obviously long-due for a therapy session, but I know y'all get my drift. The Twitter world def gets it, and they're super open about their dating app struggles, too. Scroll down to see what they had to say about dating apps this week. 

Dating apps are a weird place in general, but Tinder seems to bring the weirdest people out there to the forefront. Twitter account Tinder Scaries brings us the best exchanges that went down on Tinder on a daily basis, and we love to see all the awkwardness and funnies exchanged. Ever received weirder messages than the ones featured below? Share it with us in the comments, please! We love to see it. 

Anyone else feeling personally victimized by dating apps? At this point, we're positive it's a pretty universal feeling. As much as we hate dating apps, we keep coming back for more for some reason. Talk about a toxic relationship, am I right? Apparently, the people of Twitter keep coming back to the apps too, regardless of the trash they came into contact with last time. But hey, we can't blame 'em. We're all out there looking for love through any means possible. Sometimes you gotta wade through the trash to find that one gem. These tweets still make us question why TF we're on the apps though. Scroll down to catch our drift. We know you're gonna redownload those apps anyways, so you might as well have a good laugh beforehand. 

Dating apps are a total cesspool in general, but we would say that Tinder has the highest place on the list. Nothing truly compares to the conversations that go down on Tinder. As a result, the Twitter page Tinder Scaries documents all the crazy sh*t people send to one another for the world to see. Here are our favorite picks from this week. Ever been approached with even worse pickup or opening lines on this app? Let us know in the comments. 

We're all out here trying out best to find love, but it's hard. We've downloaded all the dating apps as our cuffed-up friends told us to, but it's starting to feel like dating apps just ain't it. They should call them "waste my time" apps because that's exactly what we seem to do on these apps. The people of Twitter seem to be on the exact same page as us. Scroll down for this week's best dating app tweets. 

I think I speak for every single person when I say the modern dating scene can be pretty scary. But for someone unlucky ladies it can be downright terrifying. People not taking hints or even accepting a blatant rejection rearing their ugly heads can be undoubtedly frightening. We teamed up with The Single Society to tell you all about these spooky encounters from people who just couldn't take 'no' for an answer.

Dating apps are fine and dandy in theory, but in reality, they're pretty weird digital spaces. You're gonna have to go through a lot of duds until you find your dude - if you ever find him, that is. Through their hilarious weekly tweets, the people of Twitter make it clear that it's not their first time on the rodeo when it comes to these apps. The tweets below will encourage you to delete your dating apps immediately if you haven't already. And if you somehow managed to find love on these cesspool apps, let us in on your secrets please. 

When it comes to dating, it's important to have realistic expectations. Otherwise, you're only setting yourself up for disappointment and frustration. But there's a thin line between realistic expectations and full-blown delusion, and it turns out that line is these people here. These individuals are so deluded when it comes to romance that we can imagine they'll be single for a very long time. Check out their crazy dating requirements and send them to anyone you think could do with a bit of nudge in the right direction regarding romantic expectations.

Welcome to another week of Twitter poking fun of dating apps! This week, tweeting about old-fashioned ways to find love apart from dating apps is all the rage, with people referencing every pop culture reference from the past twenty years from High School Musical to Twilight. Even the Bible is mentioned in one of the hilarious tweets. We're absolutely loving this trend, and rounded up a couple of our favorite tweets below. Which is the most likely to work out for you? Let us know in the comments. 

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if inanimate objects were to come to life and, I don't know, make dating profiles? What kind of people would they be? How many matches would they get? Would they send d*ck pics? Would they even understand the concept of d*ck pics? We don't even understand the concept of d*ck pics...anyway, we were thinking about that too, but then we realized, that's not nearly meta enough. You wanna really work out your imagination, you gotta get f*ckin' meta. So we decided to imagine what it would look like dating apps themselves came to life and made dating profiles. How ya like that Inception sh*t? Take a look. 

The world is finally starting to reopen again and we all know what that means. No more worrying about your camera turning on during a zoom meeting, or about having your mask match your outfit, or about masks at all. Wow, we can finally breathe people, this is not a drill. One thing that many of us have to get back into the swing of is dating. We've become much more accustomed to apps, but in the real world there is no swiping left or right.

Are we ready for this? Do we know what to expect? Well, people on Twitter are sharing exactly how they plan to find their significant others in the 'Old Fashioned Way.'

Ever since dating apps came about, unspoken rules have developed over what kind of pictures and bios are likely to score matches. For some reason, it's become a fact that men who post pictures of themselves pridefully holding a dead fish on a fishing trip are basic AF. On a thread, a Redditor asked Reddit women why they hate his kind of picture so much, and as per usual, they delivered. Men who are guilty of uploading this picture should consider taking their advice. No more fish-men for us, please. 

Sometimes a girl just needs some vitamin D and it's not always the most convenient time or place, but you simply have to make due. Like this woman, who forgot that she had some visitors and was forced to improvise which might ultimately force her out of her own apartment building! Read this Sexcapade story of sexual prowess and hilarious debauchery when too much alcohol and a high libido put her in a terribly awkward situation for many 'a building employees to see!
