25 Weird And Creepy Messages I've Actually Received That Show The Harsh Realities Of Being A Woman On Dating Apps
When I moved to NYC, I decided it was time to hop back on the ol' dating apps and see what the city has to offer. Spoiler alert: It's not going well.

Since you may be wondering...here are the photos I use across my Tinder, Hinge, and Bumble profiles!
Here are just a few of the most *charming* openers I've received thus far:
Side note: If I answered the message, I have my response included. Unfortunately, for most of these, I didn't have the energy to respond. It might as well have been an AI boyfriend chat.
Dream bigger, dude.
It's just so...specific.
Should've seen that one coming, TBH.
Refreshingly nice, but still a bit much.
Sighhhhhh.
I picked the question and answered it first, then saw his answer/opener later. I was just hoping we could bond over carbonara or chocolate chip cookies or something.
Maybe your wallet? Or your watch? Dude, come on.
...My tongue isn't out in any of my photos?
I guess I appreciate the honesty.
Hey bud, did you send me this message while at work?
I hope so too.
I thought it was funny until my friend pointed out that it's actually kind of a weird way to try and get a woman to like you.
When words fail...
IDK, it's just so aggressive.
Hmm.
I'm good.
I probably shouldn't have "provoked" the troll since it seems like he got off on it a bit...ew. I then realized that his seemingly kind and "woke" bio was purely bait. Ugh.
Poetry.
It started out promising. But then...what? Has ANYONE ever preferred high heels?
He really invited himself over to get high at noon on a Monday.
"Pretty smile" would've maybe made me feel better, but "pretty mouth" was a little...odd?
Is this how we get to know people now?
Why do I look like trouble? ??
Bro, it's 6:00 p.m. I gotta go cook dinner.
It hurts.
Anywayyy, my profiles are still up, but I'm mostly on a break from swiping. ???♀? Some people are really nice and cool on the apps too! Unfortunately, the experience as a whole can just be a bit draining. And, I know plenty of people are receiving even weirder and worse messages than I am! Stay safe out there folks, and if you want to share any of your dating app frustrations, let's chat in the comments!
