Tinder and Bumble aren't anything new. Decades ago, we had videocassette dating services. And as early as the 1700s, lonely bachelors searched for wives through printed ads. However, by the looks of it, today's singles would've had a hard time getting a match even in the old days.

Internet personality Aubry Andrews recently tweeted a screenshot of a guy's online dating profile. The self-described open-minded fellow had 14 demands for women, many of which were contradicting each other. For example, his perfect candidate must make at least $100K but at the same be available 6 days a week.

Satire or not, even elite mountaineers couldn't reach such high standards. So as you might imagine, people immediately started reacting to the picture, creating one heck of a funny thread. Continue scrolling to check out the replies and upvote your favorite ones!

According to a survey by the Pew Research Center, three-in-ten U.S. adults say they have used an online dating site or app at some point in their lives

For some Americans, these platforms have been instrumental in forging meaningful connections: 12% say they have married or been in a committed relationship with someone they first met through a dating site or app. All in all, about a quarter of Americans (23%) say they have ever gone on a date with someone they first met through a dating site or app.

TW: ED TALK ...…............ ................... I am 5'8" and when I was struggling with anorexia I stopped getting my period at around 125lbs because I was so malnourished and unhealthy at that weight. I was hospitalized at 118. This guy is not only an a*s but an idiot.

Also, online dating is especially popular among certain groups – particularly younger adults and those who identify as lesbian, gay, or bisexual (LGB).

Roughly half or more of 18- to 29-year-olds (48%) and LGB adults (55%) say they have used a dating site or app, while about 20% in each group say they have married or been in a committed relationship with someone they first met through these platforms.

However, Americans who have used online dating offer a mixed look at their time on these platforms.

I have a friend in early 30s. She is not married. A colleague of hers(same age)told her that he would prefer to marry someone around 23-24 and never someone my friend's age(or his own)because it would be difficult to mould someone her age as they have their opinions and views regarding everything and it won't be easy to mould someone that age.

Broadly speaking, online dating users describe their overall experience using these platforms in positive rather than negative terms.

Additionally, most online daters say it was at least somewhat easy for them to find others that they found physically attractive, shared common interests with, or who seemed like someone they would want to meet in person.

ADVERTISEMENT

However, users also experienced some downsides to online dating. Roughly seven-in-ten online daters believe it is very common for those who use these platforms to lie to try to appear more desirable. And by a wide margin, Americans who have used a dating site or app in the past year say the experience left them feeling more frustrated (45%) than hopeful (28%).

Nothing says "fun" like no male friends and limited female friends

Dating sites or apps can also become a venue for bothersome or harassing behavior – especially for women under the age of 35.

For instace, 60% of female users ages 18 to 34 say someone on a dating site or app continued to contact them after they said they were not interested, while a similar share (57%) report being sent a sexually explicit message or image they didn’t ask for.

He wishes he was as cute as a dog, unique looking but I'm 100% sure it's better than him.

All of this has sparked a broader debate about the impact of online dating on romantic relationships in America. On one side, some highlight the ease and efficiency of using these platforms to search for possible partners, as well as the ability to expand their dating options beyond their traditional social circles.

But others offer a less flattering narrative about online dating – ranging from concerns about scams or harassment to the belief that these platforms facilitate superficial relationships rather than meaningful ones.

I guess you just never know who you are going to match with!

Nothing wrong with living with your parents if they can help you out, especially with the current housing situation (Paul is still s**t tho)

Same. I think I was last that weight when I was 19 and depressed. It's not a sexy look.

It took me 44 previous tweets to get annoyed enough of not understanding these numbers to actually google it. So if you're a similar potat, here you go -> 175.26 cm and 56,69 kg ;)

But that list is wayy more reasonable, as travelling and starting a family together are important goals. Also being funny and smart.

Funny thing is, I'll bet if this tall, malnourished, high earning, friendless, petless gamer he thinks is out there for him turned up on his doorstep, his k**b would probably fall off in shock...
