    Okay, so I am hoping the MODs here will allow this.

    Over the last few years of using dating apps I have accumulated a ridiculous amount of screenshots, mostly from gross guys with even grosser message content, and what I really, really want (what I really, really want) is to share the gross around - naturally.

    So the idea of this thread is to share the worst messages you have ever received on dating apps. Via screenshots from your phone/pc. I guess, a plain text transcript would work too.. But you know, it lacks that touch of err... class... and VD.

    Rules are simple:

    - no easily identifying marks in screens -i.e. real names, face pics, etc..

    - no illegal stuff

    - genitalia is prob best avoided showing too


    Anyways, i thought this might be a little more lighthearted than the stuff I usually end up entangled with on here and if the MODs are okay with it... I am happy to share and traumatise you all :)

    Reddit lolgrindr sounds the exact same

    What offends one person may not offend another

    I’d say as long as there’s nothing too NSFW, and no real identifying info, there shouldn’t be an issue.

    On OKC, I’ve had “What does trans woman even mean? Did you put that up for the fun of it?” and the likes, but no real horror stories.

    I'm not really sure that's a good idea. By all means tell stories but screenshots, even with names blurred etc isn't really great.
