pickup lines

We can always count on Tinder for the cheesy pickup lines, the spicy wordplay, and the bold and unfiltered banter. It's a place where the world's hopeless romantics and spicy silvertongues collide to exchange pleasantries, or get in genuine verbal squabbles. Sometimes though, all the odds are defied, and people somehow end up walking away from the "successfully paired right swipe" with an actual date set up. 

Funny and attractive? That's a winning combo for today's fast-dating landscape. It seems that dating today relies on the ability to think of (or look up) witty puns quickly, so if you don't have your A game with words, forget about it. Here are some conversations from Tinder peeps who know how to sling a word or two, and some of these are actually really impressive. I wonder if they got a reward from the person they were chatting up...

And here are some more funny Tinder screenshots since you are probably all into that kind of stuff.

Sometimes the blinding thirst takes control and an otherwise socially acceptable conversation takes an aggressive nosedive for cringe-inducing, sex-crazed face-palm city. These people need to reassess their Tinder pickup strategy as soon as possible; or they can keep providing us a steady procession of what not to do when you want to keep the proverbial 'unmatch' from striking. 

Are you French? because Eiffel for you. Oui love horrible pick up lines here, and one of the best places for social ineptitude is the rash of dating apps that have exploded into app stores. They cater to practically every group and quirk to make sure there is something for everyone. But Tinder pickup lines can sometimes just be absolutely horrendous. Cringe isn't a strong enough word. More like violently shudder and try to shake off what those phrases did to me.
