How to respond when tinder guys say "your dog is cuter than you"?

[Anonymous]

On my tinder profile, I have a photo with my corgi pup 🐶 And I've gotten two messages expressing that my pup is cuter-- which I can't argue against because dogs are the cutest

The first guy messaged "That awkward moment when your dog is cuter than its owner" and the second guy initiated the convo with "You're cute but if I dare say the dog might be cuter #priorities ;)"

What are they trying to accomplish by saying that? And how should I respond? Thanks!

I'll tell you a male secret, he is not being rude, just kidding with you. The goal of this kind of message is draw your attention being different, it means he liked you. We do that to be more funny and get away from the boring messages that most men send. Respond him "yeah, but he already has a girlfriend lol"

Any guy who would make such a comment - to someone they don't know, on a dating site - is an idiot of the highest order. You should respond, "If you are interested in me, you need to find a better way to express yourself!"

"unmatch""

it's a way for them to see how low your self esteem is, say anything back and you will be regarded with extremely low.. they won't pass on the chance to sleep with you than on to the next date.

Obviously they're still hitting on you... otherwise they wouldn't have even contacted you.
But they're either trying to make you feel not as hot (self-conscious) or they're just thinking they're 'funny'.

It’s a way to get your attention by insulting you because you probably get a lot of lame ones and what they said probably stands out to you. Plus it is an icebreaker in their eyes.

"At least I have something cute on my profile at all..."

[ShadezMcgee]

They are trying to be cool with a backhanded compliment. Tinder has never been the best place to initiate messages. Always the same crap on everyone's bios.

omg I Know! he should be in porn! he is obviously the best looking dog in the states if you think he is better looking than me, and for sure his cock is 3 times the size of that little , what do you call it? can't really call it a penis can we? how about 3 times the size of your tiny Sissy clit? oh gotta go, date is here. have fun squatting to pee toodles

[vittle1999]

Don't respond. Let them stop talking about you for a change and not your dog. On the other hand it appears that they are trying to get your attention by giving attention to your dog.

Ugh. First guy seems rude, second maybe flirty?

Just say "duh, nothing is cuter than him/her".

People are weird.

[Christpaquin]

He is nagging you or kidding with you.

Is it you in the pic or it's taken in Internet.

Because if it's you you're pretty hot.

Its meant to be a neg to make them stand out from all the other guys saying "omg you're both so cute, please go out with me". Its supposed to knock your ego down a peg.

[BleepRawrsaurus_Rex]

Exactly what this guy said

[ohshee18]

I would have said I've never noticed that but I think you're right oh look there's now has bigger balls than you do now the best thing is not say anything and just move on

[chimchilla]

He is kidding with you.
If he didn't like the way you look, he wouldn't have swiped right.
Nobody will swipe right if they dont like the person.

[Browneye57]

You ignore it. He's telling you he's not very attracted to you. Find someone that is. Period.
The whole tinder thing is a fail in the first place.

[Harrisontb]

I think they're just trying to be funny and start a conversation

[jumpingbeans]

ok that was strange to hear that, I dont think I would take it as a compliment.

[Nik1hil]

you should respond by saying either
1 ) Eww... You zoophilic pedophile, its my lovely puppy.
2) Or reply saying,

[nevermoregirl7]

Sounds like they want to show they love animals. Which isn't bad, just a sucky way to pick up women.

[HungLikeAHorsefly]

It means get off of Tinder and go develop your social skills with real people in a real place.

[anewgirl]

Lol just laugh and say thanks. Don’t let them know if it bothers you

[false]

Bitch i bet you'll make another post asking "how to respond when people comment their opinions on your post on GAG"
as soon as i finish writing this comment

[nvik47]

Mmmm read between the lines..." The source is in the pudding"..;)

[raspberry0416]

I would just ignore. It’s probably an immature way to get your attention.
I’m sure there are lots of other guys on there you can chat with.

[Dale1982]

Haha cheeky bastards lol. It's ambiguous though. They're trying to either slag you off or they really like the dog. Which is it?

[GillyGoo]

I had a girl tell me this on a dating site, this was after she hit me up interested. It bothered me quite a bit but if guys are saying it to a girl that looks like you. Then it must just be a playful jab
