"Wanna Level Up to Bride?" Weird Comments I've Received on Hinge
Have you ever been told you “look saucy as a bowl of spaghetti”?
Or been asked to dress up like a bridesmaid for a first date?
Are you ever left confused about whether someone’s trying to make a joke or genuinely means the wild shit that’s coming out of their fingertips?
Surely I can’t be the only one who receives weird af comments on their dating profile, can I?
In this lighthearted episode of The Date with Confidence Podcast, I thought we'd do something a bit different. I’m taking you behind the scenes of my Hinge profile and sharing some of the weirdest comments I've received on my photos.
Here are the key topics covered:
1. Saucy as Spaghetti: From bizarre compliments to a comparison with a bowl of spaghetti, some comments are just plain weird.
2. Dress Up for Me: One comment suggested we go on a date with me dressed as a bridesmaid. A bit presumptuous, right?
3. Intense Dating Proposals: Some people get a bit too intense, like planning spin classes at 5 a.m. for a first date or suggesting we honeymoon in the Maldives before we've even matched.
4. The Art of Banter: There's a fine line between playful banter and taking things too far. Mocking each other can be fun, but some of the comments I received were not what I’d call ‘banter’....
5. Unique or Weird?: When someone calls you "unique," is it a compliment or a polite way of saying "weird"?
6. "I'm Too Deep": One guy claimed to be "too deep" for his own good - was this a euphemism…?
I'd love to hear your bizarre dating app encounters too, so feel free to share your screenshots or stories. Remember, these comments are all in good fun and not to shame anyone so if you’ve got a comment to share, please remove the person’s image/name.
