Chivalry may not be alive and well these days, but whatever has replaced it is, at the very least, entertaining. Well, it's entertaining if it's not happening to you, that is. Otherwise, it's just infuriating. However, that's the wonderful world of dating in the digital age. For those of us who are lucky enough to remember a time before dating apps, there were, in theory, far more romantic ways to meet someone. That being said, one could argue that human beings are by their very nature flawed a…

As summer approaches, people seem to getting more and more desperate on dating apps. Seriously, if these screenshots of dating app conversations serve as any indication, then it's quite clear that a lot of y'all are looking for something to materialize as soon as possible. That something could be a committed relationship, an uncommitted situationship, or something in that confused middle-ground territory a few bizarre people seem to enjoy. Many of these conversations include misinterpretations…

This one goes out to people who are trying to put themselves out there this year! It's not easy to get on the apps and start swiping, especially when the other singletons on said apps are ridiculous humans who need to be called out on their nonsensical behavior. From people who are strangely into the fact that their potential date has other single roommates to folks who boldly acknowledge that their love language is “manipulation in all its forms,” the wild world of Tinder has continued to main…

Who hasn't come across a bizarre dating app profile in this day and age? It is an unfortunate part of contemporary culture that when we have to resort to re-downloading the apps in order to “put ourselves out there,” that means we also have to be bombarded with cringeworthy, creepy, and straight-up odd profile descriptions. It used to be that only certain apps attracted these kinds of weirdos, but they're just everywhere at this point. People aren't even masking their controversial opinions, pr…

Finding kindness on dating apps is like an elaborate game of Where's Waldo: you know it's there somewhere, but you have to scan through a lot of nonsense to find it. Of course, there are success stories that allegedly make all of those hours spent swiping worth it. Sure, the chances that you will find your soulmate might be slim, but at the very least, you are destined to get a couple of good stories and maybe even a free meal or two out of the whole “dating thing.” In this economy, that's wort…

There's an odd smell in the air. No, it's not the smell of a home-cooked email. No, it's not the smell of a late-night pizza delivery you forgot you ordered and then didn't pick up while it was still warm because you fell asleep on your couch. The smell we're talking about is the smell of desperation emanating from the wild world of online Tinder messaging. These days, people are getting more and more direct online, which in theory is a good thing but in practice, it's just plain old weird. The…

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…

Everyone acts like they don't like a cheesy pickup line, but have you ever actually gotten one? They're kind of great.

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 a wild world out there… and when you open the magical wardrobe of online dating, there's no telling what might spill forth. Sure, you're probably going to encounter some mischievous fauns—who have more experience sending unsolicited photos of their anatomical features than participating in actual conversation. You'll probably also run into that ice queen who cares for naught but how she's perceived on social media—but is seeking a partner to finance her photo-centric misadventures. You mig…

There doesn't seem to be a lot of consensus as to what love actually is… Is it a battlefield? A stranger? A losing game?.. That aside, is it really all you need? This general confusion and lack of consensus about love translate over into the world of dating—with no one really being able to agree on what they're after or what they even want. The problem is… if you don't know what you want, how in the heck can anyone possibly give you what you need? Thus, those looking for love often end up in a…

The world of online dating subjects the aspiring dater to a myriad of tumultuous experiences; from the outset of communicating with a potential match, the doors open to all kinds of less-than-desirable possibilities. You could find yourself the unlucky recipient of an unsolicited image of something that you didn't need to see or find yourself the target of the inane ramblings of an incoherent individual who is telling you their opinion of you that you didn't even ask for. Of course, it's not al…

It's a harsh and wild world out there… When you brave out into the wilderness that is the online dating lifestyle — you never know what you're going to find. There are so many people out there that haven't the slightest idea what they actually want or who they themselves even are that it's hard to imagine them ever finding a successful match. It's often said that in order to find someone, you need to focus and work on yourself first. All too many people see this as validation of their own narci…
