dating apps

You've heard of the notorious catfish on social media and dating apps, but what about men who hatfish? For those of you who haven't heard of the term, let me enlighten you. Urban Dictionary defines hat fishing as a practice in which a man purposely deceives a potential romantic partner by wearing a hat to hide his rapidly receding hairline or completely bald head. It's like the male version of women being accused of wearing too much makeup in order to hide how they really look. The women of Twitter have recently become very wary of men practice this kind of dirty deception, and have taken to the platform to call them out. Scroll down for the best 'hatfishing' tweets this week. 

We're all out here trying to fill the empty void in our lives with love. By 2021, dating apps have taken the world by storm, serving as the tools that are meant to help us find love in this digital era. Tinder, OkCupid, Hinge, Bumble, or whatever app you're on - you're looking for love, but beneath the facade of love that the apps are poisonous strangers instead of the fuzzy good stuff we're all looking for. The people of Twitter know the disappointment of dating apps all too well and take to the platform to share their thoughts on a weekly basis. Scroll down for the funniest tweets about dating apps from this week. 

Don't y'all just feel so bad for all the nice guys out there! They seem to have the hardest lives ever. They wake up, brush their teeth, feed the homeless, rescue a puppy, and then get screwed over by evil women. It's quite the lifestyle. No wonder they always finish last, they're too busy being amazing!

But, seriously why is it always the guys who complain about being nice that aren't actually nice at all. The whole, 'Pity me, girls aren't attracted to me even though I respond to all their polls on Insta' is getting really old. Also PSA: Nice is not a personality trait, so maybe find something else that makes you special.

In the digital dating era, finding a meaningful relationship behind the screen of your smartphone can be an undoubtedly daunting task. With the overwhelming plethora of applications and photographs, men and women have to siphon through at any given time it is particularly difficult to make a solid impression. In the quest to garner attraction from the opposite sex, many women in this generation have fallen victim to the horrible disease that is being basic as f*ck, and quite frankly, the madness needs to stop. Take notes, ladies, we teamed up with dating blog The Single Society and interviewed a pool of guys to find out what pictures drive men crazy (and not in a good way) when searching for love on the interwebs.

Modern romance is something else. Meaning I'm not really sure it exists anymore. Dating apps have taken over all our phones in recent years, and we've all been the victims of some pretty strange messages. Twitter user @solodeauxleaux asked people to share the weirdest messages that they received on the apps, and things got super weird real quick. Whether it be women demanding money to score a date with them or men asking if someone is fertile, these messages are next level. Tinder, Hinge, OkCupid, Bumble - doesn't matter which app you use, none of us are safe. Scroll down for the craziest messages on the thread. 

As if dating wasn't hard enough, sometimes men say things on a date that make you wonder if they have any brain cells at all. It seems pretty obvious that on a first date, you should be on your best behavior, which includes not commenting on women's bodies, not being creepy, and not voicing any extreme views you might have. But it seems some guys missed the memo. Together with The Single Society, we bring you a comprehensive list of the absolute dumbest things men have said to women on first dates. Honestly, there's stupid, and then there's these. Enjoy!

Flirting is a subtle art that, unfortunately, not everyone possesses the natural finesse to deliver. When it comes to texting your crush, there are unwritten rules of the dos and don'ts that will either get you that date or turn them off forever. Nestled somewhere among the don'ts is the overuse of role plays, specifically the *insert action* template. No one wants you to spell out action by action what you would be doing if you were in person, especially if you're saying creepy things. It's not cute, it's not sexy, and it will only end badly for you. Trust me on this one. If you don't believe me, read through these texts.

Recently, we covered the eight profile pics women really need to stop using on dating apps. From duck face selfies to pictures with exotic animals, they're all as bad as each other. But nothing, and I mean nothing, can prepare you for the ridiculously weird profile pictures that Russians use on dating sites. As you scroll through these pictures, you'll cringe on behalf of the people posting them, and feel sorry for the people who have to swipe on them. Honestly, they are too much!

Who doesn't love a good 'ol fashioned toss in the sack? Sex can be a beautiful (and fun) way to pass the time. Whether someone has a dirty little fetish or an unfulfilled sexual fantasy people can certainly get...creative when it comes to their preferences in the bedroom. We have teamed up with The Single Society to bring you all these freaky things people were asked for during sex. Yikes!

If you've ever been in the world of online dating, it can feel like an existential nightmare. Swiping through hundreds upon hundreds of people, trying to find your special person, is like looking for a needle in a haystack. But hey, all it takes is one right swipe to get your perfect match, right? Wrong. It turns out, you might just be wading through a pool of bots and fighting an algorithm that is designed to keep you on the app as long as possible, take your money, and not encourage you to find your match at all. These previous employees of online dating services have shared the dark secrets behind the algorithms and tricks they use on their customers, which you may have lost hours of your life to. Scroll down if you dare.

We've given the ladies a ton of sh*t about dating profile pics they need to stop using immediately, but the boys are just as guilty. We've teamed up with The Single Society to bring you a list of the 10 most annoying profile pics men use on dating apps. Take notes, gentlemen.

Hinge, OkCupid, Bumble, Tinder, Eharmony, Coffee Meets Bagel, Ship - the building blocks for the rollercoaster that is the dating app sphere. And what a wild, shitty ride it is. 

If your dating life is as much of a hot mess as my own, you've been downloading, deleting, and redownloading the apps since the beginning of time. Like many things in life, it has turned into a routine that I have come to despise. Alas, the quest for love always keeps me coming back for more. Because I've become so intertwined with the apps, I have inevitably become intertwined with the guys featured on the apps, and they will always have a special place in my digital heart. To all the boys I've swiped right (or left) on before, this one's for y'all.

Online dating is truly a minefield of sh*t shows, masking as men ready to date. Finding a good match is like a needle in a haystack, and you have to weed your way through a lot of troughs to find something worthwhile. The art of seduction has been truly lost to the crude openers found on dating apps, such as the awkward pickup lines seen in these Tinder screenshots. Scroll through and join me in saying RIP to the romance of times gone by.

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
