20 Cringeworthy Yet Hilarious Interactions From Dating Apps

Many of us have been subjected to the terrifying experience of being active on dating apps. Online dating has become the norm for finding love these days. In some ways it's better. It's more convenient, efficient, and the options are plentiful. In other ways it is utterly terrifying. Like the fear that someone isn't who they say they are, and just the amount of totally unhinged messages and bios. Then there's the cringeworthy pickup lines that have to be endured, which arguably is the worst part.

Reddit has many subreddits dedicated to collecting cringeworthy, scary, funny, and just plain bad online dating profiles and messages. Here are just 20 of the millions out there. There's the ones that are way overused and ones that are just plain terrible, in content and cringe. If you're out there using dating apps to try and find love, or maybe just some attention, I feel for you, stay strong out there.

Annoys me. Wbu Sent
