With the rise of various dating apps like Tinder, Bumble, and Hinge, the world of online dating has basically been accepted as a societal norm.
After all, these apps allow you to connect with other singles in your area all from the comfort of your own home. The minimal effort involved alone is enough to make these apps sound like a pretty sweet deal.
Here's the thing about Tinder: you don't really know the guys you're swiping right or left on until you actually talk to them.
That's the gamble we make when we decide to use apps like Tinder.
Either you find someone really fantastic to hang out with, or you end up with an inbox full of crude messages that you know for a fact these guys would never have the guts to say to a girl face-to-face.
And this little experiment in Snapchat filters is no different...
Some random guy decided to mock this woman for a dress featured in one of her Tinder profile pictures because that's exactly what a woman needs from her Tinder matches - amateur fashion advice.
Because she's now professionally modeling that same dress, and pretty much winning in life.
Seriously, how much clearer did they have to be?
People have been having a lot of fun with this new filter, like this guy who decided it would be fun to prank his girlfriend into thinking he was with another woman.
I'm not really sure how else he saw this prank going but he seems somehow surprised that she believed him.
According to LADBible Twitter user Jake Askew from Norwich, UK, thought he looked pretty good as a girl. So, he set up a new Tinder profile using his filtered photo.
Soon his alter-ego had managed to win the hearts of over 1,600 guys on the app who gave him a right-swipe.
He also got somewhere between 200-400 matches — and if you're a woman reading this, you know that means a hell of a lot of weird messages.
Jake got to experience firsthand what it's like to be a girl on Tinder and found his inbox flooded with messages from his matches, ranging from fairly innocent greetings to blunt propositions.
Personally, I think he should have stopped at the beaver bit but some people don't know how to quit while they're already behind.
Any guy who sends a girl anything about his "pork sword" can just leave the chat now, thanks.
This must have been a really interesting social experiment for Jake to see the difference between responses from women versus men in this case.
Even though you can see that there is some sort of aura around "Jess'" face and hair, a lot of Snapchat filters do that now anyways.
"So rather than going out, me & SJ decided to see how far Jess could go on tinder," Jake captioned the post. "Within an hour I was the most popular girl in Derby."
Like the suggestion to set up a lil' business in the realm of private Snapchats... If you know, you know. If you don't — we value your innocence.
Now, we aren't sure if this is a flirt telling Jake to join Grindr, or a curious George telling him to find a girl to perform the same experiment. Either way, we support it!
Honestly, considering what this guy asked of "Jess" Earlier, his response could have been a lot worse. So, kudos to him...I guess.
Men can be real trashy, especially when there's a digital buffer between them and the people they are targeting with trash.
Or maybe they won't care at all and they'll just keep sending whatever they want to any poor girls to happen to match with them.
No one ever said dating was easy.
