'On a scale of 1-10, how high maintenance are you?': Top Pickup Lines of the Week (October 8, 2023)

'On a scale of 1-10, how high maintenance are you?': Top Pickup Lines of the Week (October 8, 2023)

No one ever said that the most memorable pickup lines had to be the great ones. Some pickup lines are creative and clever and wholesome. Those are obviously strong in quality. For this list, we've included a few of those ones for good measure. However, cynical-minded folks like me will be more interested in the pickup lines that are so bold and so bad that somehow they're good?! We love a bold swing and a miss here at FAIL Blog, and you have to hand it to some of these singletons because they r…

'People don't [know] what they want': 25+ candid reasons behind today's breakups

'People don't [know] what they want': 25+ candid reasons behind today's breakups

People are getting candid online about why their relationships are falling apart. No, the answer is not because Mercury is in retrograde, although if you haven't noticed, there have been an unusually high number of breakups and divorces this year among public figures and celebrities. If we look closer than astrology, which is not exactly my preferred method of analysis, there seems to be a disconnect among partnerships about how to even be in a partnership anymore. Part of that is because of th…

'He thought he could convince me I was pregnant': 25+ ridiculous attempts exes made to get back together

Trying to get back together after you've burned a bridge is a lost cause. It's kind of a Sisyphean task and a pointless one at that. If your relationship crashed and burned, you must be in an even worse place if you're trying to get back together. There's no way you could be well-adjusted. If you were, you would have recognized that the damage is done and that it's just better for everyone involved if you walk away and stay away. Some of us, however, are not this smart. When I was in my early t…

An Awkward Bucket Load of 21 Cringey Dating App Conversations

It is a Friday night, you have surrendered to your sofa, turned on the TV, and put on some garbage reality show, just to get bored enough to pull your phone from the wooden living room table posted in front of you. Have you gotten a text? No sirree. Just one missed phone call from your mom. You will call her back, you say to yourself. Soon, for sure, totally. Oh, an email from work. Would you look at that. Your eyes move slowly across the different icons… until they reach one specific one. You…

'She had 22 cats': 20 first dates that made people say 'I'm out of here'

'She had 22 cats': 20 times people walked out during the first date

Everyone says it's important to be your full self on a first date, but let's be honest: some people should absolutely not follow that advice. Their full selves are far too bizarre, ridiculous, and outlandish for any stranger to encounter without a serious advanced warning. I suppose showing all those true colors is good for the other person to make an immediate judgment, and in all of these cases, that immediate judgment was a hard no. Personally, I have never had a date that went so poorly I c…

'My date asked if we knew each other': Guy goes on cringe first date when he discovers his waitress is the other girl he was messaging that day

It's not exactly easy to play it cool in a situation like this. Picture this: you wake up one morning and you scroll on social media for a bit. Then, you complete your lazy morning routine by checking out your dating app matches and messages. You start to message someone new, you exchange witty texts, and you agree to catch up later because you both have to get ready for work. You then check in with the person you had already been messaging for quite some time now because the two of you have a…

10+ Top Tinder Moments From the Wild World of Online Dating

When you venture forth into the wild wilderness of online dating, there's no telling who (or what) you might find… Turn over enough rocks, and you're bound to uncover some creatures who would have been better off remaining under said rock. But that shouldn't discourage us from pursuing meaningful connections with other people. Remember, if you turn over a rock and find a toad… It might turn out to be a prince. That—or you're just going to look really silly kissing a bunch of frogs out in the ra…

'It’s not me, it’s you': 20 regrettable things people said during breakups

In fairness, there's certainly no easy way to break up with someone. You can try to be as prepared and as measured as possible, but in the end, it always goes down differently than expected because at the end of the day, relationships are a two-way street. Your experience of how something is or isn't working will inevitably clash with the other person's perspective. So when you're finally readying yourself for that unfortunate conversation, it's unavoidable that someone will say something surpr…

'I Blocked Him': Top Dating App Flops (May 24, 2023)

Our society is under steady scrutiny, as we are being constantly studied by algorithms whose only objective is to get us to spend as much time on whatever app it is they work for, as possible. So if you've opened Tinder and realized that slowly over time, your options seem to deteriorate, then just know, that makes total sense. They are experts at getting you to keep swiping, in hopes of greener grass, yet always fail to deliver. We're not saying that the algorithm hasn't made mistakes… after a…
