online dating

Anyone who's been single in the last decade probably understands just how bleak Tinder can be. Some people can be straight up awful but 90% of Tinder exchanges are generally just boring. Once in a while, thanks to subreddits like r/tinder, we get to witness those strange and awkward conversations between star-crossed millennials that make for pretty entertaining content.

Check out how calmly he manages the situation and how 

Funny and attractive? That's a winning combo for today's fast-dating landscape. It seems that dating today relies on the ability to think of (or look up) witty puns quickly, so if you don't have your A game with words, forget about it. Here are some conversations from Tinder peeps who know how to sling a word or two, and some of these are actually really impressive. I wonder if they got a reward from the person they were chatting up...

And here are some more funny Tinder screenshots since you are probably all into that kind of stuff.
