dating

Facebook is a wonderfully entertaining cesspool of freaks. From pyramid scheme promoting moms to anti-vaxxers, the whole site is a veritable goldmine of cringe. And we've just stumbled upon some Grade A material. After her ex-boyfriend's mother talked smack about her dead grandmother, one enterprising woman took it upon herself to steal some astro turf from the maternal shit-talker. And then tried to sell it. While some of her Facebook friends were supportive of the criminal act, the mom herself makes an appearance in the comments and things go downhill (or uphill, depending on how you look at it) from there. 

Warning: if you're sensitive about foul language, do not proceed. These people boast very colorful vocabulary.

Let's hear it for the wonderfully weird and (mostly) hilarious world of Tumblr!

Check these funny memes for an extra boost of hilarity

Rapper Future is no stranger to the meme game. He's been the star of many a mocking relationship-centric meme since "Future Sending Exes Texts" came onto the scene around Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, instead of making a mockery of ex-boyfriends, this meme seems to wag a finger at promiscuous women. The tweets feature the text "She belongs to the streets," which was popularized by Future - and many of the meme creators seem to acknowledge their misogynistic nature by labeling the rapper's tome as the "Book of Misogyny." We're hoping the people who retweet the memes are aware of the slightly problematic message - and hope women know it's okay to run free. We all know that dudes see no qualms about it.

This selection of tweets, memes, and pics is for anyone who is having a bad day or needs a little pick-me-up. Sometimes when you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel you need a little bit of warmth and perspective.

Whether you're single and trying to manage the "dating thing" while in quarantine, or you've got a ball and chain, these memes will remind you of the absolute joys of looking for love. It can be a pain in the ass in either situation, but at least you know you're not alone in the struggle.

Life has its fair share of struggles, a few happy points, and a lot of dumb facepalm moments that we can't help but laugh at. These relatable memes reflect all three of these categories. It's important to realize that you're not alone, even when you might feel like it.

Finally, a Twitter thread that somehow manages to combine two of our favorite things: Lord of the Rings and talking shit about ex-boyfriends. Twitter user @AlexArellia hits the nail right on the head with these assessments, and even tacked on everyone's favorite dudes from The Hobbit  after receiving numerous requests on her viral thread. We just hope we never date anyone like any of these guys ever again.

What if we told you that you could enjoy fresh amusement from Twitter without seeing all the crazies and wannabe politicians doing their thing? That's what our Twitter galleries are all about. We put together these short and sweet gems so you can avoid the minefield that is social media. There's something here for everyone, whether you're looking for memes or simple one-liners. Happy scrolling!

Want to feel like absolute shit about love in a digital world? Well, cartoonist Tommy Siegel has some cartoons for you! He's taken Necco's (RIP) classic conversation hearts and put a seriously dark spin on the Valentine's confection. Instead of cutesy messages, he uses the hearts as to convey some seriously depression truths about dating, relationships, and marriage. And somehow, we can't get enough of his dark work. If you like what you see here, give the dude a follow on Instagram. He deserves it. 

As far as cringey online interactions go, this one is definitely up there for the amount of discomfort it makes us feel. It takes a lot of guts (read: stupidity) to ask your friend if he'll break up with his girlfriend for you. This dude very clearly gives zero f*cks!

While we're happy for all anyone who has had a "successful" friends with benefits situation, but in our experience someone almost always gets hurt. The current climate is an especially weird time for "no-strings attached" lovers. While some people are going months without seeing their sexual partners, others have instead decided to shack up for quarantine. This r/relationships post  (since deleted) deals with the latter. After a couple years  of being sexually involved, and finally after quarantining with her, this guy has started to catch feelings. The confused dude took to Reddit to express his conflicted feelings, and after the post was shared on Twitter, many users decided to share their two cents. While we think it is rotten to string someone along, it's important to remember these people are in their early twenties. It's normal for a 21 year old to be somewhat immature in love. We're just glad he seems to be wising up emotionally. 

Happy Monday! Are you ready for a new week of cringe? 'Cause there's a whole lot of it on the internet today. Our new favorite facepalm-worthy thread comes from @alpharivelino, an account run by a sexist dude with way too many followers. The thread, which was shared on May 2, suggests that men who lean into their partner during photo ops are weak. Using photos of Hafthor Bjornssen (one of the world's strongest men), Jason Statham, and Kevin Hart, @alpharivelino tries to make his case that posturing determines whether you're a strong, powerful man, or basically a needy simp. Needless to say, people on Twitter did not take kindly to the ridiculous thread, and were very vocal about it. 

What is it with Nice Guys^tm and role-playing? This should go without saying, but we don't like that sh*t, so although this might seem harsh, we're doing you a service here. Dudes, if you're reading this, we hate that we have to remind you not to do this, but here we are.

It's been a few months since he blocked and then unblocked you. A few weeks since he watched your Instagram story. Does that mean he still cares? The truth is that doesn't even matter. It's time to stop investing your time and emotions in someone who went out of their way to hurt you and who doesn't want to be in your life. It would be better to invest your time loving yourself, and looking at dumb memes. We're here to help you with that second part.
