Gone are the days of sending love letters to your crush and presenting flowers/chocolates/sparkly bits of jewellery to them as a token of your affection. Now, it's all dating apps, swiping right, and judging the quality of banter in your conversations before deciding whether you'd actually like to meet in person.
And while there are plenty of success stories about people who met on Tinder and the like, there are just as many tales exchanged between friends regarding the different creeps that message people with questionable opening questions, requests for "n00dz", and VERY in-your-face pictures of their own private parts, that were neither requested nor welcomed.
Some women have decided to share their responses to such unsolicited messages online, and their comebacks are hilarious. Take a look at these 17 examples – we've got a lot to learn from these women!
