After This Woman Got Mocked On Tinder For Wearing Her Dress, ASOS Puts Her Pic On Its Site
Some would say Tinder brings more good than bad as it allows people to find a like-minded person whom they can start a relationship with. However, as hundreds of women online can assure, Tinder can also be a pretty terrible experience as it enables people to show off some truly terrible behavior.
Just last year, Thea Chippendale had an unfortunate run-in with a man on the app, who offered the woman some unsolicited “advice”. “Not gonna lie you’re a bit of a joke but that dress in the last photo is not doing any favours. Hope this helps,” wrote George, finishing off his sentence with a thumbs-up emoji. Of all things the man could’ve said, he decided to criticize the dress Thea was wearing in one of the photos.
Thea went on to share their exchange on Twitter, showing just how rude people on Tinder can be. The responses from the people on the social media site were what you’d normally expect from anyone reading such a conversation, however, something unexpected happened. Seeing how Chippendale was critiqued over wearing their dress, the people behind ASOS decided to make Thea their model and put up her photo on their website to represent the dress. Now that’s some sweet revenge!

Thea got her revenge after posting the rude Tinder exchange on Twitter where ASOS noticed her
Bored Panda reached out to Thea for some additional information and she provided an update on her life. “My name is Thea Chippendale, I’m 21 years old and when the tweet happened I was still a university student but now I work as a digital PR executive for a digital PR & SEO agency called Rise At Seven,” the woman introduced herself. She said that a lot has changed since that unfortunate Tinder exchange.
“The situation started when I was on a usual scroll of Tinder and came across a message from the guy, he then wrote those comments,” she provided some background to the story. “I was so angry that I just decided to tweet them, only thinking that it would shock a few of my friends but within a matter of hours it took off and there were thousands of people across the world tweeting me with support,” Thea said.

Chippendale also shared her reaction to ASOS’ response to the tweet: “I was in shock when ASOS responded the way they did, I couldn’t believe that they had done what they had done and was so grateful that they were able to put such a positive spin on such a negative situation”.
“Since the tweet, the CEO of ASOS, Nick Beighton, invited me down to their HQ where him and the amazing ASOS staff gave me a tour of how ASOS works and all the different departments they have,” Thea revealed. “They also gave me a makeover and I got to have a little photoshoot with their photographers – it was an amazing experience,” she added.
The woman also explained how it has majorly impacted her life and career: “As a result of the story, my now boss tweeted about it and her tweet went viral too, we managed to stay in contact and now I work for her at Rise At Seven! So all in all, it’s amazing how much one tweet can impact your life so much. It’s amazing! My picture now gets recognised everywhere, and I’m now “the ASOS girl”.

Share on FacebookWhether the dress is nice or fits her or looks nice on her- the tone of his entitled opinion isn't needed as if he's doing her a favour- no one asked him for an opinion in the first place. What a douche.
Its incredibly messed up when people on dating sites go out of their way to be mean. More and more dating sites are allowing you to report people, and I think this qualifies.
These people are mean for the same reason rattlesnakes have rattles. It's a warning to stay as far away as possible.
Load More Replies...Oof he really was an a*****e, but she didn't have to say "men are trash". Even if she doesn't mean all men, it helps contribute to attitude towards men that is becoming popular in pop culture; and that is to hold contempt for them. It doesn't take much time to type out "some" But yeah, otherwise, I'm really glad for her! We girls dress for ourselves, and no one should say anything about it
Men are doing just fine in this world they built for themselves. Really. They don't need you to stan for them, and they aren't in any way oppressed..
Load More Replies...*squints and examines closely* I don't see anything "wrong" with her dress. (I worked in fashion for a couple years and have dressed people to go on tv.) None of that is the point though, no one asked Mr. Jerkface. Even if they had there are polite and constructive ways to go about it, if you are asked for your opinion. Lastly... I wouldn't say "men are trash." I would say "that man" is trash. :) Sometimes other women can be jerks too, especially about clothing.
George, you are some legit douchbag and first grade a*****e! Glad things turned out well for the OP
Oh man, he claims his conscience would have kept him up all night if he hadn't told her that he hated her dress. By the way, I think my husband owes me an apology for not telling me that his sweat pants don't flatter my figure and his sweatshirt looks terrible on me. I'm sure that's why he hasn't slept well lately.
And he's grammatically wrong too in claiming so. Satire material.
Load More Replies...I guess teaching children that if "they don't have anything nice to say..." has become unfashionable. (for those of you from other nations who may not be familiar with that aphorism the rest of it is basically: STFU!)
And then the idiot write "hope that helps"? From what I can see on the little photo of him, he's no he-man himself. And a lousy haircut too. Lol
In person, saying "you heard" is almost ALWAYS in an aggressive tone. Based on just that alone, I'm going to assume this George person enjoys a few jars of Stella (aka wife beater here in the UK), getting in to punch ups outside pubs, buying a kebab, throwing it up in the taxi and rolling in to his mummy's house missing his top and covered in blood from his evenings activities. Ladies, stay away from George. Everyone can do better than George.
Has anyone taken the time to look at the skinny prick who cant grow a proper beard? He's a real catch ...just like syphilis!!
George doesn't look like much of a catch anyway. Why does he think he's so special?

She does NOT deserve that man!UGHHH, I TOTALLY HATE people for criticising other people just because they think the dress or outfit is not pretty on the person who is wearing! Thea DID NOT ask for HIS opinion and she can wear anything she wants!Such a douchebag!
Thanks for posting this. I didn't realize this was some twisted phenomenon- with its own name, no less. Very sad.
Load More Replies...I’ve copped this kinda s**t so many times from guys, although they usually wait until they’ve been rejected before they tell me how fat/ugly/much of a whore I am. It’s incredible how fast it goes from ‘you’re so hot, can I buy you a drink?’ To ‘you’re a fugly s**t’ 😂 ah, fragile masculinity!
And then they get on their Incel chatrooms and whine to each other about how they can't get laid.
Load More Replies...Not all dresses exist to make the wearer look their best or look the most attractive to men. Some dresses are just there because they are fun and make us feel good. This one has an unflattering colour and cut, yes, but it has a great texture and looks cool. I am happy to read that she basically told that rude a*s to go f*ck himself. So often the woman's side of these convos is still way too polite.
For someone to send such a nasty comment to a complete stranger is just absurd to begin with. This woman is gorgeous and the dress is very nice and looks great on her. When a man writes a comment like that he is admitting his own short comings. I would bet he couldn't get a date in a house of ill repute with a pocket full of silver dollars.

I think she looks awesome! As as one tweeter said... it actually looks better on Thea than it does on the model. I glad for her. That guy is a real wanker! Definitely does NOT hava way with women! But then, what troll does?
What happened to this particular guy. As if women are not able to leave mean comments, FFS.

i think the Dress is cute and suited her. but even when he doesnt like it, he could say it at least nicer and not just calling her a joke and to tell she should "grew up" when he is clearly the childish one here. there are two kinds of honesty and he choose definitely the wrong one.
I feel that the focus should rather be on his 'wouldn't of slept', this is the biggest fault here.
men like him are a******s who will remain single for life. Nothing wrong with the dress at all. We need to post these trolls faces and info online
Guy was a jerk, and one of those people who can't accept a women who has curves. But texting her and tell her she's a joke? What the heck was that about? He's got something else going on in his brain. She obviously took great care with her outfits and wanted to make sure they looked great. Go home boi!!!
I can't believe how rude some people are! He could scroll over saying nothing, nobody begged him to say something. Don't like it - pass it by! Unsibscribe! Don't read. He is so c**k-sure. Jerkge
I would buy more clothes if the models looked like her, like real people!
She`s a very pretty girl, but that dress is not. I think she would be a great model, she has the looks.
Dude was burnt she wasn't responding to his subpar scrotiness. Typical low-value male tantrum.
Forgive me but which picture is the guy referring to? All the pictures looked perfectly fine to me. Not only that, but the girl is clearly a stunner. Am I missing something?
What's wrong with this guy? She looks stunning. And she is smart. I wish I would match with her. Lucky the guy who does!
What a f'n dummy must be some virgin who plays fortnite all day In mommy's basement. I would put a ring on this Queen anytime!! She's absolutely breathtaking!!
The color is great for her, the patterns subtle and not overpowering, it fit her curves beautifully, was not reveling cleavage or crotch, was that dude gay wannabe fashion designer? I see her beauty and to me, the dress accentuate that beauty.
It kinda sounds like that little B I T C H George needs to be throat punched. I'd be more than happy to do it.
It looks gorgeous on her, it'd make me look like a dumpy napkin, but I thought it was a nice dress regardless. Girl makes that think look good. Can't get over the arrogance of this bum hole thinking his opinion is worth anything. He needs to take a look at his life and sort himself out.
How about some photos of fashion critic "George?" I don't know if Tinder users can block others, but she should have shut him down and not responded.
Sometimes you have to respond. I mean why not? Have some jerk putting you down? No way.
