We always say that dating apps are the epitome of all evil, but that's only because we wholeheartedly believe it. Think about it, these damn apps solely rely on appearances, limited information, misrepresentation, ghosting, and all the other fun stuff. 

Don't get us wrong, the initial idea and thought process behind the apps was cute. You know, a platform that allows you to meet people from all corners of your city, some you'd potentially never even run into in real life. If you're an introvert, this probably sounded like a dream come true. You mean to tell us, we could meet people without even having to leave our houses? Sweet! Or so we thought… 

In reality, dating apps have become a virtual playground for all the emotionally unavailable men (and women) to play with the hearts of those who are seeking real true love. But who are we kidding? We all know that as much as we love to hate on these apps, we always come back for more because while it is disappointing, the chaos is a whole lotta fun. 

With that being said, we hope you enjoy this humongous collection of memes that perfectly capture the dating app experience… the good, the bad, and the ugly.
