Online dating is wild. You swipe through a catalog of profiles that people (who you probably have never met) purposefully made for themselves to appear funny, smart, creative, confident, kind, positive, ambitious, well-read in the classics (but not so much that it would make them a snob), and, of course, attractive, all for the sole purpose of catching your attention and try to find someone who you could like in real life and would also fall for your 'advertisement.'
If that sounds like an exhaustive and quite chaotic quest with no guarantee for success, well, it is. And the subreddit Bumble is a perfect example of that. There, the users of this popular app share screenshots of everyone and everything they run into and let's just say that they're pretty colorful.

I sometimes wonder if some people are really human or just worms pretending to be one

I don’t find tgis that bad. He doesn’t want to say he owns a living being, what’s the problem?
Oofda; Was I Too Harsh?
Dude, if someone gave me the opportunity to nerd out I would take it with great joy!
He Really Just Mansplained Me My Vagina You Can’t Make This Up
I love it when people without vaginas try to tell people with them how they work. Apalling. The amount of unmitigated gall is staggering.
Sometimes You Just Gotta Say It
And I’ve Officially Deleted Bumble
Her-"First thing you asked is if I have big boobs?!?!?" Him-"No" Her" Oh thats alright then."
I Thought I’ve See It All
1 Hour On Bumble.....i'm Done. I'm Happier Single. I Just Wanted To Know About The Avocado

Why Type Lot Letters When Few Letters Do Trick?

Same Thing, Right? 🫠
I'm so glad I got married before dating apps got really popular. I cannot imagine dating like that. Looks miserable.
Can only speak to past 7 decades, but I believe the answer is an enthusiastic yes. Across all generations. While there are likely more reasons than I can list here, I suspect the rise of FB and its successors really brought out the worst in all of us. Potential was always there, but now it has platforms, and some of those platforms reward bad behaviors.
Load More Replies...If posts like these have taught me anything, it's that someone needs to develop an app specifically for people not into hookups.
I feel like that's what bumble was supposed to be, but it got hijacked by hook up dudes.
Load More Replies...It does make me laugh when I say I'm not attracted to a certain type and women say it's the personality... Happily off online dating and having a life 😂
If it's generally like that, it's really depressing. I know as much as Bumble was founded by a woman, Whitney Wolfe Herd. She's the CEO. I believe she wanted to create a better place for women for dating. "Bumble" I guess is about bees 🐝.
These are all too relatable. And I hate it. Said goodbye to dating apps a while ago because of this stuff!
My husband and I have been together for 20 years (married for 17) and I keep reminding him that he better never f*****g die 🤣. He is my best friend in the whole world and I would seriously rather live like a lonely hermit in my house than try to enter the dating scene today. Also glad I met him when I was 17... apparently STD's are rediculously common these days 🤢... so glad we found our own isolated bubble so early on!
