The famous dating app Tinder has become one of the most popular places for people to meet others seeking romance (among… other things). Online dating is the most efficient way to match with other (hopefully) single people you find attractive. All it takes is a single swipe to meet the potential love of your life. Tinder, and other dating apps, are also unfortunately filled with a lot of concerning and frightening people though. It takes a lot of time to search through the bad to find the good, and there are some odd encounters that come out of it as a result, from unhinged profiles to shocking first messages and pickup lines.

The world of Tinder can be a scary place. Reddit's r/tinder is a place where users can come together and show all of their own odd encounters from their time on Tinder. The profiles, the photos, and of course the messages can all be found there. These 24 strange Tinder encounters should be enough to keep anyone off the app.
