We're back at it again with a fresh round of Tinder wins and fails, from the online world's lot of hopeless romantics. People love to break out the best and very worst of their cheesy pickup lines, when it comes to seeing what will take on the dating app. Sometimes, they defy expectations, and actually end up getting somewhere.

Sexual consent is something that you should always get from your partner before you bang. But is an app really the best way to go about getting it?
For starters, talk about a moodkiller. "Here, before we go any further, let me have you complete this form on my phone. So hawt."
Second, if someone is "pretty wasted," as one of the app's sobriety options reads, are they going to truthfully report said sobriety while they're drunk, knowing full well that marking "pretty wasted" kills the consent process? If you're drunk and ready, you're drunk and ready, and your phone yapping at you saying that you don't give consent is only liable to piss you off, not stop what you're about to do.
Third, if one party does in fact revoke consent mid-sex, what are you doing to do? Pull out your phone again and change your answer from "I'm Good2Go" to "No, Thanks?"
Fourth, tying into the last point, what is the app actually meant to accomplish from a legal perspective? How is someone going to prove that they revoked consent when they originally put "I'm Good2Go" at the start of the encounter?
"You see, Your Honor, I know I said that I was Good2Go, but then I changed my mind and was Bad2Go like five minutes in!" "Too bad! The app says you were Good2Go and that's it! Case closed!"
Last, but perhaps not least, I can barely type my lock screen password in while I'm drunk. Am I really going to be able choose consent, choose my (truthful) sobriety level, put in my phone number and create a password all as quickly as they claim you can? Unlikely.
All in all, sexual consent isn't just a good idea: it's mandatory. End of story. But bringing in a confusing app complete with phone numbers, passwords, and dubious legal authority might not be the best way to get it.
Plus it just ends up reminding me of this:

I also got you an XBox that I'll totally let you play when I'm finished with it.
Tinder tends to be a pit of despair and desperation... most of the time. Sometimes, though, it can also be a great source of hilarious moments and, believe it or not, amazing one-liners. I suppose people have to be pretty creative on there to stand out. Big ups to these Tinder peeps for not taking themselves too seriously.
It's a wide weird world of casual dating out there. Almost nobody's happy and genuine connections are rare but that doesn't stop these Tinder Astronauts from blasting into each others lives. If you wanna see some strange and disturbing profiles, then check these out.
Tinder is blossoming right now. With many experiencing more "free time" alone, and without the external stimulation of social obligations, events, etc, people are flooding the app like never before. This makes for a welcomed wealth of ridiculous moments from the world of Tinder. It would seem to be the home of people trying out the very best and worst of their pickup lines.
There are flairs of originality, crudeness, immaturity, and silver-tongued smoothness throughout these randomly assorted moments from the Wild West of the Modern Dating World, Tinder. For all we know we're witnessing snapshots of history's next great love story. And it all started out with some locker room-level witticism...
"No worries, I'm not crazy like your ex." Run, run for the hills! This guy dodged a big bullet with this Tinder match. Brace yourself for unhealthy levels of tireless pushiness, cringe, and anger. Like, she seems mad at something more than half the time. Yikes.
And then family dinner happened. This embarrassed woman experienced quite the shocking, bone-rattling revelation over a family dinner with her special date; a date I might add that she'd been seeing for 5 months! Her cousin. If this is actually a true story, our hearts go out to this woman and her family. The shockwaves of cringe from that dinner could probably have been felt around the globe.
