Dating apps are in their flop era: Straight women are going “boy sober” ― in other words, swearing off dating entirely ― in large part because of their disappointing experiences on the apps. A whopping 79% of Gen Z say they’re already burnt out with swiping, and speed dating ― once viewed as a light humiliation ritual ― is popular again.
Need more proof that people are over Hinge, Tinder and the like? Below, we’ve gathered 34 funny tweets that show just how abysmal the dating app experience is.

A guy on Hinge asked me who my favourite Tudor was (as an opening question) and I said Anne Boleyn. And he unmatched me ????. Was that....the wrong answer???? I can't stop laughing.

Queer dating apps are so funny because people will be like "I want a femme woman to top me" and like the reality is there just are not that many of that kind of person

Shoutout to the 19-year-old on Hinge who wrote “I bet I can make you feel 20 again" to me. Admire the confidence and love that he still picked an age older than him.
