dating fails

Let's be real. We all have our flaws. A first date, however, is not exactly the best time to shine a blazing spotlight on these flaws OR unfortunate emotional baggage. Putting the best version of yourself is usually the way to go when meeting a potential mate for the first time, but apparently...some people didn't get that memo. On the other hand, perhaps it's best to let those red flags fly high in order to avoid any unpleasant surprises in the future. Whatever way you look at it, here is a list of the craziest things men have admitted on a first date.

One night stands can be a rather enjoyable pastime to an otherwise lonely evening. However, sometimes they don't go quite as planned, and spending the night at home with your cat would have been a far superior decision than lying naked next to a stranger after an awkward session of pleasureless 'love' making. But what good is a trainwreck sex story if no one is there to hear it?! That is why we teamed up with The Single Society to bring you these gloriously terrible dating mishaps such as this one, about a total creeper with absolutely no boundaries or manners to speak of. Enjoy!

When it comes to dating, it's a harsh world out there. There are tens of psychos, weirdos, and freaks to sift through for every normal guy you meet, and it's natural to get deflated when you waste your time one of these idiots. After a bad experience, they say that journaling can be a therapeutic way of releasing any negative feelings you may hold towards a person. And what better way to do that than via a public journal of shame that the disappointing man in question may see? Or, at least, his mom. Together with To The Guys I've (Kinda) Dated — an Instagram account by and for women, containing letters that frustrated women have penned to the disappointing guys they've dated — we're back with another collection of letters. They're just as funny as the last lot, so scroll through and enjoy.

Rejection is a hard pill for anyone to swallow, but it is an inevitable part of the dating game. It helps to have a thick skin and a lot of resilience to keep putting yourself out there and accept that not everyone will like you. The key to rejection is taking it gracefully, wishing the other person all the best, and moving on. But unfortunately, not everyone can do that; some people react horribly to rejection and lash out at the person who rejected them. Together with The Single Society, we bring you 14 times men reacted terribly to rejection, and they are truly shocking. Scroll through and be amazed (or not) at the fragility of these male egos!

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!

Have you ever been on a hilarious, horrific, or cringe-worthy date? We assume the answer is yes, because, well, who hasn't? How nice would it have been to tell the douchebag in the question exactly what you thought of him? Of course, some women choose to dish out a harsh truth after an awful date, but it's not worth the emotional energy for others. Because let's face it - a man taking constructive criticism post-date? Hard to imagine. We've teamed up with To The Guys I've (Kinda) Dated - An Instagram account created by women, for women, who submit letters containing all the things they've always wanted to say to the disappointing men they've dated. Scroll through this week's haul and then check out last week's in case you missed them.

Touching a woman inappropriately, or touching her without consent is a crime and should be taken extremely seriously. Unsolicited contact can constitute sexual assault, which, unfortunately, is something that women have to deal with on the daily. It makes dating a dangerous game because you never know what sort of creeps are lurking on the other end of your dating app and for every great guy, there are ten weirdos out there. Together with The Single Society, we bring you this story of a boob-grabbing creeper, who is an awful human being. We feel bad laughing because it sounds like a truly horrific experience.
