tinder

This is certainly one of the more aggressive dating stories we've come across in a while, but hey, leave it to Tinder to inspire some modern day madness.

Love is a chemical reaction and these two could be working on it. This guy's commitment to using as many scientific pickup lines as possible to flirt, is absolutely relentless. 

Some are funny, some are sad, some are funny and sad. The world is a funny and sad place, and the context of dating only raises the stakes. Here's what people said that sometimes worked but mostly didn't work in the moments that counted. Check these out or these if you wanna see more priceless Tinder moments. 

It's all troll and games until somebody makes a "rape" joke. Back in August, Olivia Melville was the subject of a online abuse after a screenshot of her Tinder profile was uploaded to a stranger's Facebook page. A mutual friend alerted Olivia and soon her friends came to her defense. That's when things got heated. The post began picking up traction across Facebook, until one person (Zane) began dropping rape threats and other violence towards Olivia. Now, Zane faces 3 years in jail.

It's a low stakes game, so why not have a little fun? Besides, every girl loves a guy who can make her laugh!

Tinder's a wasteland of cruel cheesiness and aggressive acts of trolling. It's a wonder people suggest blasphemous things like modern romance being dead. 

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.

The state of the modern dating world has never looked so overwhelmingly emotionally stunted.
