A Lot Of Husbands On Here: 59 Tweets About Awful Romantic Encounters

With millions of single adults in the world, one would think it should be fairly easy to find a match. There's a huge dating pool to choose from. The problem, it seems, is that the so-called 'pool' is more like a murky shark-infested tank, where you risk being eaten alive. It's filled with frogs pretending to be princes, dangerous sea snakes, empty shells masquerading as starfish, and creatures that clearly belong on another planet.

It's wild out there and to prove it, we've gathered some of the most hilariously relatable dating tweets from the depths of "desperately seeking" [end]. There's the guy who took his date to the aquarium just to prove how much he hates fish, another who worshipped a guru who 'resurrected a duck,' and the absolute charmer who used spit to moisturize his hands while eating sushi. If you're still considering dating after scrolling through this list, may the force be with you!

A quick scroll through these tweets and is it any surprise that a fair amount of people are choosing to stay single? That's not a made-up statement...

The 15th Annual Singles in America Study, conducted by the Kinsey Institute in partnership with Match.com, found that one in four people would turn down their perfect match if that person showed up tomorrow. Close to 5,000 single adults across the U.S. took part in the poll.

"Nearly half of respondents (48%) went on zero in-person dates in the past year. More than half said they were happier than they’d been in their last relationship, while 50.6% reported feeling more confident and 54.5% said they were less stressed," reports Vice.

The survey found that only 16% of respondents are actively seeking a committed relationship. That's not an incredibly high figure. What's more: a third of respondents said they'd been single for at least five years.

"For many of them, being single has simply been life for a while," Vice reports. "There’s work, friends, bills, weekends, family, bad dates when they bother, and everything else that fills a year whether somebody has a partner or not."
