Dating apps were supposed to make finding love easier. But for many people, they’ve made it far worse. Cringe openers, unsolicited pics, and bizarre demands from men have become a daily routine on Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble — to name a few.

For many women, reading through their inboxes has gotten so exhausting that they’ve started sharing these toxic gems online. We’ve collected some of the most unfathomable and head-scratching profiles and texts to show you just how wild the modern dating scene really is.

Scroll down and get ready to feel some second-hand embarrassment and a bit of rage.
