If what he says is true, poor kid.

tell me about it. I got a fling from a girl named Anna and I asked her if she wanted to build a snowman. She replied telling me to fuck off and that she has never seen Frozen.

To be fair, that sounds like one of those names that could piss a person off with peers trying to be cute/cheeky, especially if it's someone still in Highschool or something.
 
Yeah, this was cute, but it's gone downhill quickly. It's probably time to remove it.

A couple thing the devs could do to help a little (but wouldn't fix things):

  1. No text-only Flings
  2. Detect Flings that are a black or single-color screen and refuse them
  3. Show the number of people a Fling went to (because you know "sent to 1" is BS)

As someone who's name is part of a very popular pop culture reference it does get rather old, yeah.
 
This app has the worst UI in history. At least on Android. I fucking hate it.

Swiping right takes you to the camera, not to Replies.

Pressing Back from the camera doesn't take you back to the main screen; it leaves the app and takes you to the Launcher. WTF.

I was thinking it was just bein artificially inflated with pictures of teens to keep people using the app and avoid scaring off the important demographics.

Prob a handful of people making min wage sitting around responding to these in bulk. Sting operation works too, honestly. I just really doubt this is legit.

Lol.

Is it really that hard to believe that this is literally all the current generation of people can do when it comes to actual communication skills?

This is the same generation of people who took to social media when Wikipedia had its blackout asking how the fuck they are going to do their homework now.

The same generation that asked why facebook had changed its login page when 'Facebook Login' was no longer the #1 google search result.

The same generation who take selfies in front of moving trains almost getting themselves killed.

It's an unmitigated disaster but you shouldnt let that devalue the app. There are many people including me who have had some interesting convos with random people.
 
Learned shrooms are legal in the Netherlands through this. Unless that person was lying.
Then he was just taking shrooms anyway which is moot.

Yeah that has been winding me up!

My experience so far with the app has been lots of "Hi's", lots of guys asking for tit pics and lots of people from school. Still no one from GAF.
 
My last batch was just a bunch of horny guys...all looking for guys. Odd since I've only had guys looking for chicks this whole time.

I feel like it's getting closer and closer to deletion time, but I'll wait it out. Was talking to a very nice girl in France earlier. If I don't hear from her again in a bit, I'm out before it gets really bad and a constant stream of penises.

I think they should also work on their list adapter some. It's not really removing some of the flings I've swiped away. They can be pretty crappy to work with, from my limited experience with them.

100% of the flings I've received in the last 9 hours have been thirsty dudes.

Seriously.
 
Eh, it takes like 15m to get a new message if you aren't doing anything for me.
Either they have it set so that the intervals are way too spaced out or no one is using this.

I'm more apt to believe no one is using this.
 
I've no idea why I'm still using this app, but I'm addicted. It's worth getting 90 selfies for a single interesting post.
 
Barney from Germany just sent "Myboobsfordigs"

They mean dicks right? I mean I could send pics of archeological digs, but on the other hand boobs.

And is Barney ever a girls name?

Damnit I'll sent the digs, I can't see a typo and just NOT take the piss, can I?

Please do it for science!
 
There needs to be some type of age filter for who you get your flings from. It's getting creepy constantly getting pics from kids at school.
