Dude Regrets Choice Of Words After Texting Like A Scammer On Bumble And Getting Unmatched Instantly

One Bumble match turned awkward fast when a joke landed like a scammer script instead of a flirty opener. Reddit user Froyed thought he was playing along with a woman who had a good sense of humor, but one badly timed reply changed the whole vibe.

She asked if he had seen a Reddit post about a man who fought with his girlfriend's family by pretending not to know what potatoes were. He searched for it, acted like he had not read it, and answered with a flat no, only for her to send the link anyway. That was enough to get him unmatched instantly, and the whole exchange left people debating whether he was being clever or just creepy.

Now the screenshots are doing the talking, and the reaction is not exactly subtle.

Here's how it started.

u/Froyed

Why would it be boring? It's the sanest thing to ask.

u/Froyed

This is downright creepy. I'd run for the hills too.

u/Froyed

Why am I not surprised? smh.

u/Froyed

Knowing the girl frequents Reddit, this is also my question.

u/Froyed

ROFL. Let's creepify the entire situation.

u/Froyed

Nope, it definitely wasn't.

u/Froyed

He does, and he messed it up. Also, I smell jealousy.

u/Froyed

Exactly my point; OP's hiding something creepy.

u/Froyed

Yes, this is true. It's not something to joke about.

u/Froyed

And this is messy in the same way as the woman who set her crush up with her friend, then confessed and sparked a love triangle.

Facts.

u/Froyed

Um, no comments here.

u/Froyed

Maybe she unmatched him because he was pretending too much.

u/Froyed

Exactly; there's something else OP hasn't mentioned, perhaps.

u/Froyed

Honestly, this isn't a very good thing to say. Sorry, lass.

u/Froyed

Good point.

u/Froyed

Facts.

u/Froyed

LOL.

u/Froyed

I'd hate to agree, but it's weird to pretend and then ask for personal info, even as a joke.

u/Froyed

I didn't say it.

u/Froyed

You just tried too hard, my friend.

u/Froyed

LOL.

u/Froyed

Well, this escalated quickly.

u/Froyed

Meanwhile, somewhere...

u/Froyed

In Summary...

So before I forget what I was about to say, I'll just spit out some facts here. If he could tell she had a great sense of humor, chances are she didn't fall for the 'scammer-type' text that Froyed sent her.

She knew he was joking but was either too mature for him or didn't want to go out with a guy who thought he was funny but, in reality, wasn't funny at all. There's a level of cringe people can bear, y'all.
