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.

Orangutan, because i would be able to block in free time to practice my sword fighting skills. Fighting a chicken everytime I leave my house would be impractical, because I would have to leave earlier then I have to. However, do we know when the Orangutan fight is happening? Because that would be some must need information.

I was unsure about having a tattoo, so the tattoo artists suggested a nice temporary one. We both agreed that tattoos don't work on me, so I paid him £300 to do a bunch of temporary tattoos as practice. He was a fun dude!

There are a lot of these women around. If she asks your height, ask her weight. If she is offended, it ends there. My neighbours' daughter is obese, and her boyfriend is a dwarf. They are one of the happiest couples I have met. Plus, they have a dirty sense of humour and are hilarious to hang around with. Never heard them argue

My friend would check her cell phone all day waiting for a reply from some guy she had just met, and if they didn't reply promptly to her messages, she thought they were playing her, when they were probably at work and couldn't reply in a timely manner. Then she'd send them a scathing message stating that she was entitled to prompt responses from them, and they'd ghost her. Oddly, she never replied promptly to any text messages I sent her, but then, I don't have a dork.

Ok I literally call people for a living and I don't like making calls before maaaaybe 8:30 or so for this very reason. 6:50 is far too early to expect a response like this. Also! they literally tried to change the plans and then used the excuse to not go because they "didn't have a solid plan." looks like they just didn't want to go.
