Ever think to yourself "Man, dating is not even worth it"? Well, these pics are proof that you're probably right.

It's not often that clickbait does anything more than elicit eye-rolls or lamentation from most of us, but today we're happy to say this is not the case. We're here to thank The Daily Mirror for composing a tweet so incredibly clickbait-y that Twitter has turned the damn thing into a meme. To promote a piece about a Tinder love-connection gone wrong, the publication tweeted the following:
"Woman's perfect Tinder date with 'The One' shattered by five simple words."
It's a pretty histrionic title, especially when considering the five words: "Stay away from my boyfriend." Her supposed Prince Charming was not, in fact, an eligible bachelor. The spicy yet vague headline immediately put Twitter to work. Social media jokesters started to tweet five words that would leave them shook - and the rest is history. We'll keep our politics to ourselves, but Julia Carver's (now deleted) tweet is on point. This website could never love someone who doesn't get down with some Popeyes.
Ever swipe right and end up regretting it? Got caught up in the swipe motion and accidentally sent a match the green light? Twitter user @hannahhhxoxo certainly has. When the 22-year-old received a phone number from one such suitor, she decided to play a prank on him rather than text or simply unmatch. The prank? Convincing the guy that they shared a phone number.
Poor Patrick was none the wiser. He fell for her trolling - and it's no wonder. Her feigned shock and almost had us believing that the phone-crossed lovers were being kept apart by some strange higher phone power. After posting the exchange on Twitter, many commenters expressed skepticism that Patrick had been fooled. They theorized that he was playing along. And then Hannah shut them down. She decided to text him and he was shocked that she had been able to do so after their exchange. Once she revealed her deceit, he even admits that she got him good. We hope this becomes a trend because we definitely derive endless joy from the antics of stupid people.
The internet has revolutionized so much of our lives - drones deliver packages to our houses, we can keep in touch with our loved ones around the world, and with Tinder and other dating apps - we can use terrible, punny pickup lines from the comfort of our homes. Ain't life grand?
