Were dating apps like Tinder and Bumble a mistake? If so, at least we get to laugh a lot along the way.

At a time in life where our desires, needs, and wants are incredibly diverse from one person to the next, it's no surprise that "matchmaking" has expanded into user-friendly mobile apps. While some folks will find their life partner through dating apps like Tinder and Bumble, other people will find a great hook-up or someone to suffice for now.

The practical use of such apps can bend to the desires and goals of the various users and that means there is a lot of unintentional, hilarious "content" being created every single day... and many of it comes in the form of astonishingly absurd direct messages being sent from one party to the other.

By September of 2019, Tinder reported an audience reach of 7.86 million users in the United States and as of 2020, Bumble had over 100 million users! That's a LOT of people looking for love (or whatever that might mean to them,) and it's only natural that disaster would strike on a regular basis.

I'm sure if you're invested in the dating pool then you just might find comfort in knowing you're not the only one experiencing less-than-desirable experiences. At the very least, can't we all laugh it off?

1. WOW, y'all. The bar has been SET IN STONE.

2. "Her bio said "isn't Kentucky the only state that starts with a K?""

3. "Keep trying"

4. "Hello police? Yes. I think I’ve been murdered."

5. "Country roooooooooads"

6. "We've come full circle..."

7. "He had reading as an interest in his bio...a common one..."

8. "Is this weird? Matched 2 weeks ago, she’s nice..."

9. "Confidence is key."

10. "And they say romance is dead."

11. "Am I doing this right?"

12. "Freshly dumped and back on the chat"

Can we all just appreciate the comment section, please? Thanks.

13. "Why do I even bother?"

Nothin' wrong with body hair, y'all.

14. "D&D: Tinder"

15. I hope they get married

16. A Tale As Old As Time: Two Birds, One Stone

17. "Best conversation I’ve had yet"

18. "It's a group effort, really."

19. Raise your hand if you're about to go ask your significant other how they feel about olives.

20. "Starts a convo with hello gets mad when I reciprocate the laziness"

21. Run away from anyone who can't appreciate a quality pun-filled pick-up line.

22. "How am I single? smh"

23. "I don't even know what flirting is anymore."

24. "Her bio said that she loves debating"

25. "Solid Communication IMO"

26. "Well I dodged a bullet"

She just keeps going...

27. Woof, we need a palet cleanser after that last nightmare. Enjoy:

28. "I think I'm funny."

29. "I was pretty proud of this one, her bio said she was a CS major"

30. "This conversation was brought to you by Nostrildamus"

31. "A wholesome twist."

32. "F*ck you Paul, my cat is my WORLD"

33. "I swear guys will only try to be normal for 5 seconds on this app"

34. "Be careful when you copy/paste openers y’all"

35. C O R N

If I could have a simple wish right now, it would be that everyone finds someone they are compatible with long-term so that we don't have to expose ourselves to these blunders much longer. Of course, if things continue at this rate, let's hope people continue to dump their DMs on Reddit for the rest of us to laugh hysterically at.

Do you have any dating app fails that are share-worthy? Don't hold back, let us know what moments are ingrained in the "SMH" department of your memory.
