cringe

Tinder is the black hole of unadulterated, shamelessly thirsty modern day 'romance', and these moments capture the inevitable cringe that almost inevitably pops up every time you swipe right in sync with someone else on Tinder. If you ever find yourself stuck in a solidly shitty Tinder conversation headed fast for nowhere, break out this particularly stellar pick-up line: "C'mon, yolo and stuff". Riiight?

These are a skin-crawling kind of CRINGE.

If there's one guarantee when it comes to sex, it's that things are going to get awkward at some point in the game. It's just human nature. If these particularly harrowing confessions from the cringe-tainted bedroom hit close to home for ya, you've my personal condolences. Keep trucking on.

Sometimes when browsing my way through the internet I come across something that just makes me utter 'ohgodwhy' uncontrollably. Well, this list is 41 of those things.

There are people in this world that just don't need to be on social media, who should restrain themselves to the far reaches of the internet or just refrain from going online at all. 

These facebook FAIL's are guaranteed to make your whole body cringe.

Okay, so we know that Tinder and like-minded dating apps aren't ALL bad. In fact, they can be pretty damn addictive to swipe through and can give you a little ego boost to boot. And some people get real creative with their profiles, which you'll see below. The following memes and moments provide a little insight into the good, the bad and the ugly sides of dating.

This dude is divorced from reality. This troubling tale is tearing at the seams with outright delusional tendencies. You can note the raw measure of insanity run rampant amok his process of (ir)rationalization. 

Leave it to Tinder to always push the boundaries when it comes to what we thought possible in terms of semi-painful, always hilarious interactions. Only question here is if these are vaguely intelligible bots at work, or just dumbed down humans that altogether stopped giving flying f**ks. 

It's a great measure of assurance to read through these botched attempts, full-fledged romantic fails, and know that there's gotta be someone out there having a worse time of that crazy little thing called love (on Valentine's Day, no less) than your sorry ass. If there's one Pro Tip that stuck out from the pack here, it's that you probably shouldn't opt for gifting the box of fire ants, bro. My best bet is that's the kind of gift that'll never fail to end up biting you in the ass. 

Not set on whether this is super creepy and indicative of a dude with some seriously off kilter coping mechanisms, or just outright victorious revenge. What do you guys think?

These guys weren't ready for the dating world. Life Hack: make sure you got more than five bucks in your bank account before trying to buy a girl dinner.
