Cringeworthy Tinder Openers That Will Fuel Your Dating Nightmares

zachnading Published 07/02/2022

These opening lines prove that romance is dead as a doornail.

Let's put all of our cards on the table here. Dating in the age of apps is atrocious. Who knows what anybody is looking for? Tinder was literally marketed as a hook-up/sex app when it first came out. Now there are multiple apps like Bumble or Hinge which make it a tad bit easier to filter through the idiots. But you just never know what you're going to get.

So it's hard to blame SOME dudes for coming on strong. Now that doesn't mean all romance goes out the window. That doesn't mean dudes get to be vile and misogynistic. But unfortunately there are those types of guys out there.

Thanks to the Instagram page TinderNightmares, we've collected some of the most douchey, cringeworthy, and honestly hilarious opening lines from the wild world of Tinder.

Strap in for this gallery because the cringe is never-ending. Enjoy.
