Ah, Tinder. It's our best friend and our worst enemy. Most of us enter the experience with an open mind, hoping we might actually find that perfect match we've been waiting for. And then the awful pick-up lines crush every bit of that hope into little pieces.
Even if you did meet 'the one' through a successful swipe, the odds are that you went through a few duds before they ended up in your inbox. We can't even blame you, since it's hard to tell if someone is a psychopath based only on their picture. Unless they actually look insane, in which case we would advise to swipe left as fast as you can.
Got a knee-slapping pick-up line, a scathing comeback, or a match that scarred you for life? We want to hear about it. Add it to our list below, but only after you've voted on which of these poor souls got burned the worst.

I Don't Think You Should Mix With That Species, I Hear It's Quite Invasive
Double Standards
We should all start asking each other what our horizontal measurements are...
Load More Replies...Absolutely right. But then: they are using tinder...superficially getting to know other people since 2012.
I agree it's a double standard, but being tall myself, I kinda do care about other people's height, especially if it's my potential love life partner.
but you know... someone being fit may as well care about his potential love partner's fitness. And That's. exactly. The. Same.
Load More Replies...This is so not a double standard. She did not ask his weight. He could have asked her height as well. Instead he brought up the weight.

After 2 boyfriends 40 cm taller than me, I want a short one. Period!

I actually like short guys, they can be so cute. That chick's such a rude hypocrite, ew.

There's a song called "True Love Waits" by Radiohead. That would have been such a great reference! I would have fallen in love right then and there! 😂

Load More Replies...Sometimes people change over time and the other person doesn't realize it until it is too late. For an example, my dad used to be the most friendly and cheerful person but a few years into marriage he completely became distant and never wanted to go on date nights with my mom and he rarely spent any time with me.

Fat ugly studs? That sleep with a lot of women?? Not where I come from..
Load More Replies...This is still horribly judgemental. If this is the height of this persons thinking capacity, I'm a bit worried.
actually, i have friends who are players that look below than average, they are divided into 2 types: 1 is super charming, like, irresistible and very smart, blows you away with manners, caring and nice...for one time. And the 2nd type looks and acts innocent "nice guy" type, but is actually a d**k who just wants to get laid and thats it. Also have friends who look super hot but are very decent nice guys, who wish for a true committed relationship, but girls kept treating them like they are playboys. Cant judge the book by cover!
seriously? nobody got that it's a bit from jim jeffries? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_CULy_-5FI
Why Even Reply If You're Throwing One Word Into The Conversation
No way... a pretty girl with zero personality... didn't see that one coming.
She's polite enough to respond, but is not engaged. Maybe he should try a different conversation subject.
Plus, it's 3 a.m. She probably was very tired. That was a very bad time to engage in a conversation with a potential future soulmate.
Load More Replies...Actually I'm Using It To Find True Love
ok, but i still think they are more about finding a friend,than finding sex..
i actually have a good friend from Tinder, and my bf now I also met from Tinder. Not everyone just wants sex.
Right!? Dating apps are not for friendship... there are other programs to make friends... but those people are really just looking for a casual hook up.
Like what I travel alone sometimes and I want and app for locals to go out with ?

Cassette is technically correct. the 3.5" floppy was housed in a small case, or cassette... and the name wasn't just a carryover from the 5.25" Floppy. The disk inside the plastic cassette of the 3.5" was still just as floppy as the one inside the sleeve of the 5.25" floppy. Break one open some time and see for yourself. There were also 2-inch, 2½-inch, and 3-inch floppies, but in the end the Sony 3.5" won the market. Everyone talks about the 5.25" like they were old-school, but those were actually the smaller version of the original 8" floppies. Not as many people know about those because they predate the World Wide Web and fewer people had PCs at that time.

That's exactly why my teenage human uses Tinder. She said she likes the way it gives them selfie culture, male humans that want to f*** with her that she chooses from, and how it makes her think she's special. I think everyone is special.
Yes this is great. Totally what dating in America has become. Its obvious that whoever you talk to - if even moderately attractive - can potentially have 100s of ex lovers. So disgusting. But Tinder isnt all skanks and d-bags... I met my wife on Tinder and she is Mexican, has only slept with one person before me and now I live in Mexico and will never have to settle for a skanky white chick again.
