• Online dating was supposed to make finding love easier. Instead, it created an entirely new category of human behavior that future historians will spend years trying to understand.

  Somewhere along the way, people collectively decided that introducing themselves normally was overrated. Why say hello when you can open a conversation with a bizarre demand? Why write a bio that describes your personality when you can list seventeen reasons everyone else is disappointing? And why make yourself seem approachable when you could present yourself as a customer service complaint waiting to happen?

• There's something fascinating about watching people sabotage their own chances in real time. A dating profile is essentially a personal advertisement. The goal is to convince strangers that spending time with you might be enjoyable. Yet countless people approach this task by listing rules, requirements, ultimatums, and warnings that make them sound less like a potential partner and more like an unusually hostile HOA president. Take the classic profile that opens with a declaration like, "I'm bored, so unless you sweep me off my feet, I probably won't text back." It's an incredible strategy if your goal is to make talking to you sound like an unpaid internship.

  The funny thing is that dating apps have become one of the internet's greatest accidental comedy generators. For every thoughtful profile, there's another one demanding six-foot-tall soulmates with professional careers, emotional maturity, a sense of humor, excellent communication skills, and the ability to reply instantly while somehow never being on their phone.

• Of course, dating app fails aren't limited to bios. There are awkward opening messages, accidental oversharing, painfully forced pickup lines, and conversations that somehow derail before they've even begun. The search for romance can be messy under the best circumstances. Add screenshots and public internet humiliation, and suddenly you've got comedy gold.

  The good news is that collections like these serve an important purpose. They remind us that everyone is struggling a little. Every person who's ever stared at a dating app wondering what to say next can take comfort in the fact that at least they aren't demanding strangers "entertain them" before earning a response. So if your dating life feels a little embarrassing, don't worry. These dating app fails are here to provide some much-needed perspective. Compared to these people, you're doing great.
