Technology promised to solve our problems, but it seems to make a lot of them worse. Take dating. How cool it was that we could "meet" and flirt with five, twelve, thirty-seven, even a hundred people on the internet without having to step our foot outside, we thought—for maybe an evening or two. But ask anyone who is actively swiping, and they'll tell you it's not that simple. The subreddit r/Bumble is dedicated to one of these apps, and it's full of screenshots its users took of all the bizarre bios and painfully dry conversations they go through on a regular basis. These pictures reveal what online dating really looks like behind the filters.

Adding that koalas have similar fingerprints to humans, so much so that they've caused confusion for crime scene investigators
So Apparently I Attract A Very Specific Subset Of Men

His Bio vs. His Message
Moved To A New City And Redownloaded Tinder. This Is The First Girl I Matched With
Almost gives the same vibes as those "nice guys" doing the "gentleman" act
This Conversation I Had Was Wild
Can Someone Explain?
MTB is standard acronym for mountain biking. HTN is hypertension. Not sure how they relate though in this context.

This Is Such A Turn Off LOL
Update: Omg, I'm Freaking Out!
Dating In 2025 Be Like
I say this in the nicest way. If you can't do grammar, I'm not interested.
I met my wife on a dating website. We've been together move than 26 years now. We both liked to play computer games rather than go out, so that's how we met. These post-covid WFH days make it far less likely to meet the right person in person.
Load More Replies...Kinda judgy coming from a person who dated someone who liked to keep his dating profile open and active 'for laughs'.
