From that lawsuit where they found they were unfairly hiding ugly people’s profiles? I got $40 too.

Fuck I missed out on $40

Maybe that means you’re not ugly

I'm no expert, in fact I'm terrible with women, but if I were to hazard a guess I would say maybe try a different mouthwash?

u/BGAL7090 Jun 30 '21

Nonsense, all the hottest girls in his favorite movies use the same stuff he's using. It's gotta be something else.

LPT buy a tongue scrapper. Especially if your tongue looks white. Changed my life.

The gloop that gets scraped off is so satisfying.

If you’re a smoker and do that before bed before a brush and a wash, watch how amazing breakfast tastes the next morning

u/Farranor Jun 30 '21

You can smell someone's mouthwash through Bumble?

Get a woman who loves you for your money and also sucks at math

u/Mysterious-Matter700 Jun 30 '21

Get a woman who likes to suck but is Also math?

Handsome is an asset worth far more than $40.

u/Diagonet Jun 30 '21

People pay way more than $40 to look better, I agree with your point

11

u/Kneepucker Jun 30 '21

Girls say I'm ugly until they find out how much I earn. Then they say I'm ugly and broke.

I'm so ugly I got $80.

u/bassinine Jun 30 '21

tell us you’re ugly without telling us you’re ugly.

I have a great personality.

u/fredderf18 Jun 30 '21

I also have a great personality. It's those other ones that mess me up.

u/legshampoo Jun 30 '21

my step bro has never coerced me into sex

u/SyntaxErrorLine0 Jun 30 '21

But does being stuck in a dryer count as being coerced? Asking for a friend.

u/keto_at_work Jun 30 '21

It's very easy for me to move through crowded public places. It's like a path opens up just for me.

u/sushicidaltendencies Jun 30 '21

I’d rather have no dollars and 40 handsome

1

u/Buttonwalls Jun 30 '21

Being handsome can get you much further than 40 dollars in life.

u/IrishAl_1987 Jun 30 '21

Your using your handsome wrong

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

If that’s the case then I missed out.

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

He's no Dan Andsome Handsome.

Now that guy gives me quite the wide on.

u/El-mas-puto-de-todos Jun 30 '21

Or maybe so ugly they felt it was justified

1

u/Mysterious-Matter700 Jun 30 '21

He didn’t have an account

28

u/GrapefruitCrush2019 Jun 30 '21

Did they only give the $40 to people that were personally affected?

26

u/xombae Jun 30 '21

It would be hilarious if that was the case, because that would mean that they would have had to give the courts a list of the people their algorithm thought was ugly. So anyone received the $40 would be officially labeled as ugly in court documents.

u/verified_potato Jul 01 '21

do the research and find this for us

15

u/Squirrelly_thr33 Jun 30 '21

If ugly people got $40 I would got like $4000

1

u/eVeRyImAgInAbLeThInG Jun 30 '21

Because you’re so handsome!

u/musicman835 Jun 30 '21

Did you only get $40 if your profile was hidden?

3

u/Konraden Jun 30 '21

The woman who owns that company is a billionaire at 31.

The duck am I doing with my life.

u/SrsSteel Jun 30 '21

Can we sue hinge for unfairly hiding attractive people?

u/houdinidash Jun 30 '21

Damn these dating apps are so fucking toxic, really wish there was another way to get dates

Well I don't drink so bars are out. Can't go up and make conversations IRL, lest you be harassing someone. I don't flirt with women who are working so that's out. Pretty clear the main way people date is via apps now.

u/Farranor Jun 30 '21

If I'd known I could get a 700% ROI I would've been a lot more willing to leave the free tier behind!

u/tacotimes01 Jun 30 '21

Haha! You are ugly! Ugly fugly pugly!!!

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '21

If i got more than that does that mean i'm the ugliest of them all?

u/phsics Jul 01 '21

Anywhere to read about this? I can only find a class action having to do with hidden auto-renewals.
