This Tinder guy thought his putdown was smart but it was just plain mean

Someone shared this awkward Tinder exchange in r/MurderedByWords – and it looks like they picked the wrong forum.

What do you think?

Yes, it was a savage putdown, but if there’s an r/ImASelfImportantTool forum, surely it belongs there.

A few people, like u/kipwrecked were vaguely on the side of the so-called murderer.

I’ve already been mulling over how I’m going to explain this to somebody who messages me every other day and asks how I am.

But most people thought he – because he was identified elsewhere as a man in his forties – was, well, kind of an asshole.

What’s wrong with how was your day? šŸ™

I think of myself as just severely out of practice with talking to people. Like I donā€™t know what else to do so I ask how someone is.

Some people just don’t have the skills to talk via text.

I am no stranger to online dating so I can appreciate being direct, but this hit them between the eyes approach was a bit much.

That was a shockingly mean thing to say to a stranger.

u/gothiclg pointed out the diplomatic option.

I phrase it as ā€œIā€™m sorry weā€™re just not compatibleā€ when Iā€™ve meant ā€œyouā€™re actually boring AF and Iā€™m not going to keep putting in more effort than you’re worth to me.ā€

But u/Ch33105‘s comment is probably true.

I am sure they both are telling themselves “Dodged a bullet there.”
