Dating Apps Are A Dystopian Nightmare And These 34 Tweets Are Proof (2025)

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.

Nobody does the “I’m weirdly attracted to” prompt correctly on Hinge and it bothers me. Oh, you’re attracted to blondes, Tyler? WHAT A WEIRDO. COME LOOK AT THIS WEIRDO OVER HERE WHO’S ATTRACTED TO BLONDES.

Why are 24 yr olds on dating apps? literally go to the park & give direct eye contact. These apps are for ppl in their 30s who are dead inside with commitment issues, damn.
