Anyone who’s ever been on a dating app knows people send some pretty wild messages. A Reddit post asks, “People who use dating apps, what is the weirdest message you’ve gotten to start a conversation?” From more than a thousand responses, these are some of the strangest.

- “Matched with a woman. Her first message was, ‘I guess you’ll do.'”
- “A friend got the message: ‘Wow, your eyes could start a cult.'”
- “The weirdest first message I’ve received was: ‘My hovercraft is full of eels,’ and I can’t imagine what sort of conversation she expects if the person she sends the message to doesn’t happen to be a Monty Python fan (we’re getting old and rare here).”
- “‘Excuse me, good sir, would you kindly like to hook up?’ She was clearly wasted. Five minutes later, she unmatches. Apparently, she didn’t like that I wasn’t available immediately.”
- “I was on Bumble and got asked about my Myers-Briggs personality type. When I responded, she unmatched me immediately. I gotta respect the hustle.”
- “I was the weird one. I’d start off by commenting about something in the background of a picture. If I couldn’t think of something funny, I’d just say, ‘How do you feel about geese?’ Most people have strong opinions.”
- “They opened our initial conversation on PlentyofFish by asking for my detailed zombie apocalypse survival plan. I fell in love immediately. We’ve been married for almost 12 years now.”
- “‘I want my wife to have your eyes.’ I don’t think it was meant like that, but my first thought was that the dude wanted to cut out my eyeballs.”
- “I once got an opening message that said something like ‘You might not be the prettiest girl on here, but beauty is only a light switch away.'”
- “One guy asked me for a pair of dirty panties. One offered to make me dinner at his house and gave me the address. One guy asked me if I would go with him to Burning Man.”
- “A woman texted me on Bumble, ‘fight me,’ It was the weirdest but funniest first message I ever received.”
