40+ Women Are Sharing the Worst Dating App Fails That They’ve Experienced, & They’re So Bad

The dating world nowadays looks a lot different than it used to. We’ve gone from courtship to meet-cutes in bars, from dating websites to swiping right on apps that aren’t necessarily used for their intended purpose. From bad pick-up lines to raunchy questions, we’ve compiled a list of the worst dating app fails that women have had the misfortune to experience.

A Weird Way of Mourning

Losing a beloved pet is one of the most difficult things animal lovers can go through. Although they can't speak to us, pets become a member of our family, brightening our days and our lives - until one day, they're gone.

What on Earth made him think that sending this message, especially nearly half a day later, was appropriate? It just shows that he was never actually serious about building a connection with the person he's messaging. Bet he received a swift block.

A Little Too Honest

Creating your bio on a dating app is intimidating. You have to try to sum up what makes you interesting in a very small amount of words, and also make it unique enough that you stand out amongst the thousands of people doing the same thing.

Some people take more...creative approaches, and we have to say, it did not pay off here. Calling yourself white trash is already enough to make girls cringe, but that pick-up line scores a -1/10 on our quality scale.

An Old Acquaintance

Most phone number exchanges have an expiration date. If the people don't contact each other within a certain amount of time or the conversation dies off for too long, that's the end of things... usually.

Not if you're this guy, though. Sounds like he wasn't all there the last time they saw each other. Never, ever ask someone to be your backup plan. No one appreciates being a backup.

The Most Creative Rejection

Some people seem to think that the term "dating app" actually means "hookup app," and try to use it as such. What they don't realize is that propositioning random people on an app rarely, if ever, works. Still, they keep trying.

If you don't have a sense of humor about these unwanted messages, they can drive you crazy. So instead, some people are getting creative with their rejections, like this girl. It's like a great anti-pick-up line.
