The internet and smartphones have done wonders for the world of dating. We now have the opportunity to take our absolute lack of shame and morals outside of our local bar and use them to lure similarly filth-minded individuals into our bedrooms. These seemingly shamless individuals are doing just that - and doing it with style.

Dating is rough. Dating on the internet? Extra rough. Online dating in the middle of a pandemic? Forget about it. Ghosting's never been so easy. But for all the pain and suffering that searching for love brings, we have to give credit where credit's due: the insanity makes for some very good and relatable memes.
Anyone who's been single in the last decade probably understands just how bleak Tinder can be. Some people can be straight up awful but 90% of Tinder exchanges are generally just boring. Once in a while, thanks to subreddits like r/tinder, we get to witness those strange and awkward conversations between star-crossed millennials that make for pretty entertaining content. It's especially fun to see when people don't take themselves too seriously with their one-liners or their profile bios. We've picked out some pretty amusing Tinder moments for your enjoyment, and there's more where that came from.
Don't let the term fool you—softbois are not simply in touch with their emotions (we're all for that!) A softboi will often use corny platitudes and 'alternative' interests to get laid. If someone rejects or ignores them, a softboi will quickly become bitter and turn to insults. A sensitive person might write 'I'm delicate like a sea sponge' in their tinder bio, whereas a softboi would say something like, 'I'm into red wine and girls with daddy issues.' The @beam_me_up_softboi Instagram account is dedicated to documenting the most wince-worthy instances of softboi cringe. Out of the hundreds of submissions they've posted, we've narrowed it down to forty-three to give you a taste.
Swiping through Tinder can often be a supremely thankless and tedious activity. Everyone's looking for their "partner in crime," and everyone likes pizza and craft beer. Every now and then, however, a bio comes along that speaks volumes. A bio that showcases humor and intellect. If you're lucky the photos will be stimulating, too. This is a collection of the bios we like - may we all stumble upon them in our hunt for love.
Ever have it out with someone (either seriously or in good fun) and think of the perfect comeback hours later when you're in the shower? Happens to us all the time. These clever souls didn't have to suffer like that - they came up with some seriously smart sh*t at just the right moment. Salute.
Many people are in happy relationships, but there are also those of us who can't seem to lock anyone down no matter how hard we try. These memes are for the latter. Godspeed, because it's rough out there.
For people who have found their special someone, these ain't for you, move along.
One of the worst parts about being on Tinder is that the following stereotypes about people are absolutely, 100% true. You've got the girl who "just loves the outdoors," or the dude who thinks "pizza and IPAs are life." News flash: hiking isn't that great and literally everyone likes pizza and beer. You ain't special.
If you're in need of a little change of pace, scroll through these clever Tinder bios that somewhat restored our faith in the dating game.
You know what they say: if one relationship doesn't work out then don't fret because there's plenty of fish in the sea! Either way, dating apps are always really frustrating, but at least they can offer us some comedic relief! Check out Fail Blog and eBaum's World for more Tinder madness!
Red flags are one thing. But to make someone straight up walk out of a date is another. Sh*t's gotta be serious. Redditor u/PorridgeBeforeBed took to the r/AskMen subreddit to ask members to share their ejection-worthy date stories. We'll give you some spoilers: a lot of people are addicted to their phones, a lot of people are looking for free meals, and others don't seem to understand that a date is between two people. The stories are disappointing, but not seriously surprising. So strap in, get your reading glasses, and learn what not to do on a romantic evening.
A Leeds man went viral a few days ago after sharing a major dating disappointment on Twitter. Harry (@hazposting on Twitter) tweeted a screen shot of an exchange with a Rachel, his Tinder date from the night prior. Harry sweetly expressed interest in seeing Rachel again, and in response he received a screen grab of his own text, punctuated with a hearty "LMAO." It's abundantly clear the screenshot was meant for a friend, and wow. Ouch.
Rachel quickly apologized for the gaffe, but the damage was done. After sharing his woes to Twitter, Harry found an overwhelming amount of support. People tweeted their sympathies, their confusion (not everyone realized Rachel had intended to mock him to a friend), and their feelings that Rachels are not to be trusted. While we can't speak to the integrity of a world of Rachels, it's clear that this one doesn't deserve the attention of Harry - who consistently updated the viral post with funny, self-deprecating, and niche reaction memes. If he hasn't actually deleted Tinder, we wish him a million quality matches.
Country singer Dolly Parton started a serious meme on Tuesday when she shared a collage of four photos of herself. Each panel represented a social networking site: LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and Tinder. The post inspired many other celebrities to create their own version of the photo, which is meant to show the differences in how we represent ourselves on the aforementioned sites. It's since been called the Dolly Parton Challenge, and is now being used to create everything from animal memes to satirical cartoons. We've put together our favorites, but you can catch more over at Ebaum's World.
