Some people should just never be allowed on online dating…
Dating apps were invented to make finding a potential match a breeze – you can do it from the comfort of your own home! In your pyjamas! But for some people, the instant, no-effort-required nature of online dating (and the fact that you can’t get punched in the face for a dodgy chat-up line) brings out their worst side.
From cringeworthy conversation starters to lines that ramp up the rudeness from 0-100 in nanoseconds, the best of the worst ever chat-up fails are collected here for your reading pleasure.
Note: Unfortunately you can’t swipe left on these conversations.
