Modern dating can sometimes feel like the Wild West, with apps making it easier for people to connect and providing the internet with a never ending flow of bizarre stories.
One woman recently went viral after explaining her date ditched her after ordering 48 oysters and leaving her with a huge bill. Another ended up finding the wedding website of the man she had been dating for six weeks on Google.
It seems the terrible dating experiences are never ending, as TikToker Chloee (@chloeemlindsay) has gone viral after sharing her date’s “outrageous” message claiming that he wishes she had less “less self-respect” so he could date her.
In the video, which has been viewed more than 3 million times, Chloee shared a screenshot of the baffling message sent to her by a Hinge date.
They wrote: “Quite honestly I think I need someone with a little less self respect lmaoo.”
The message continued, with the guy claiming that she had her “s*** together” and essentially admitting that, because of this, she was too much effort for him.
He continued: “A girl with less confidence and standards doesn’t know she isn’t being treated ‘right’ or not because she will just have whatever affection she can get (meaning I can give less effort. Not in a malicious way but yeah) and obviously you’re not like that.”
In the comments, people couldn’t quite believe their eyes and that the man actually admitted to it.
One sarcastic commenter wrote: “We love a self aware king.”
Another said: “That text belonged in a THERAPY SESSION.”
Someone else commented: “So they DO know!?!?!? THE WHOLE TIME!?!?”
“Ohh?? my?? God??” another baffled TikToker said.
