16 Tinder Pick-Up Lines That Should Have Never Worked As Well As They Did (Photos)

by Connor Toole

In theory, Tinder is a simple app: You sign up, pick which people you could see yourself having sex with and hope that one of them feels the same way.

Unfortunately, turning theory into practice is slightly more complicated.

Getting a match on Tinder is only the first step -- if you can't think of a opening line that will grab the attention of your potential soulmate (or, more realistically, your potential hookup), you're going to have a lot of trouble when it comes to making your dreams a reality.

There are no shortage of terrible pick-up lines and conversation starters you can choose from while trying to woo your Tinder match, and if I were to compile a list of the most pathetic attempts at getting an actual number, the number of entries would probably be in the millions.

However, there are people out there who are somehow able to bridge the gap between Tinder and the real world by harnessing the kind of lines most reasonable people wouldn't even pay attention to.
