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.

HappyPlayTime is a new no-shame, you-should-try-it! app that encourages women to become more proficient at special lady time. A cool idea, except I can't imagine the weird hoodie gaping-chasm-stomach baby putting anyone in the mood...
These didn't fail to leave us highly amused. Although some of them seem so bad that they must be real, we will never know for sure. Tinder can be mysterious like that. Either way, they definitely deserve serious consideration on the right swipe for the effort put forth.
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...
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.

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:
The world of Tinder is a mixed bag. Sometimes it's desperate and makes you lose faith in humanity, and sometimes it's hilarious. The fact that dating now depends on who can take the best profile photo and who has the best one-liners is pretty f*cking bizarre, but that's the world we live in now, so we might as well embrace it. Without further ado, enjoy these surprisingly funny Tinder moments and remember that you can use these for yourself if you need to.
Black Mirror is happening IRL people.
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.
