tinder

Ellen C Scottwas having trouble finding a date, so she decided to channel the words and confidence of Kanye West to help her with Tinder.

Sometimes the blinding thirst takes control and an otherwise socially acceptable conversation takes an aggressive nosedive for cringe-inducing, sex-crazed face-palm city. These people need to reassess their Tinder pickup strategy as soon as possible; or they can keep providing us a steady procession of what not to do when you want to keep the proverbial 'unmatch' from striking. 

Are you French? because Eiffel for you. Oui love horrible pick up lines here, and one of the best places for social ineptitude is the rash of dating apps that have exploded into app stores. They cater to practically every group and quirk to make sure there is something for everyone. But Tinder pickup lines can sometimes just be absolutely horrendous. Cringe isn't a strong enough word. More like violently shudder and try to shake off what those phrases did to me. 

Well that escalated alarmingly quickly. Just goes to show that crazy wears all kinds of faces, and the devil is in the (bio) details. Suffice to say our troll of the hour learned his lesson, and managed to have some fun in the process. 

In less than a month Pokémon GO! has taken this planet by storm. Look around you, and you're apt to see someone with a fixed gaze on their phones, swiping upwards aggressively, scowling at their screens, trying to catch 'em all.

It's insane how big this game is. Pokémon GO! is more popular than Tinder right now, and was more popular than porn for a brief bit of time as well. Plus Pokémon GO! is tracking more than 21 million daily active users, so that's pretty damn chill...

You never know what you're going to find behind the next "right swipe" in the wild world of Tinder. Some people that use the app are actually able to strike up a reasonable conversation that gives way to a legitimate relationship on down the road. Other folks use the app to try out the best and worst of their pickup lines that they have on hand. The following collection of moments from Tinder have some wins, fails, and just generally shameless one-liners.
