idk if this would actually be considered a “bit” but before i realized i was a lesbian i used to do this thing on hinge where i would ask guys for their spotify username and then once they sent it i’d unmatch them almost immediately so that they’d think their music taste was so foul it sent me running

i have a folder of screenshots on my phone called “dating app horrors” so there’s quite a few
one of the worst ones has to be in response to my somewhat silly prompt saying that i was looking for “rom-coms (romantic communists)” & this man who labeled himself as conservative and had multiple pictures of him with guns liked my profile and said “Hey girl, I want you to turn my bloodline into a breadline”
i also met my ex who was a serial cheater on a dating app.
scarred for life! delete your dating apps y’all! free yourself!

Reading through these answers is brutal but here’s my interpretation of dating apps:
the longest seriously relationship I have ever been and still am in is from a dating app. they are not engineered to be built for short term use because they lose their value fast if people end up in successful relationships as a result. They’re not designed as a means to an end. they are a time and sometimes money suck and can hollow out the social interactions
However
They are the most easily accessible option and if you choose to explore that path, being as intentional as possible when curating your profile is important. Sounds sleazy but these apps encourage people to develop a personal brand or become product like, you have to “sell” yourself to demonstrate that you are a good fit for partnership. There’s probably good people out there who are well intentioned who want to find someone
I would advise (if you do it) to be specific about what you are looking for, what you like to do for fun, hobbies, and the right people will come if you have shared values. Or just have a profile with a profile pic and no bio and talk your way into things like I did
avoid: laundry lists of what turns you on/off, anything that feels inauthentic, such things
