I think the term here is 'chadfishing.'

There are people who allegedly do stuff like this on Tinder, but it's mainly to push the incel narrative that you need a strong square jawline, huge chin, and other masculine features to even have a chance to match with ladies on Tinder.

Or course people claiming this could easily have faked screenshots, so take that with a massive grain of salt.

well it is a pretty shallow app.

being good looking helps. I've done tinder as a fat guy and as a fit guy (legitimately, i lost a load of weight for a while) and i got a lot more attention when i was fitter.

People looking for a quick boink like fitter people better. No surprises there
