Inconsiderate Man Mocked A Young Woman Because Of Her Dress, So ASOS Placed Her Photo On Its Website As A Sign Of Support

Tinder is great for meeting the right people to start a relationship with, but sadly, it is also a platform for encountering individuals who are... well, idiots. Some time ago, a woman named Thea Chippendale had an encounter with such a rude person on Tinder. He offered her some unsolicited and totally uncalled-for 'advice.'

'Not gonna lie, you’re a bit of a joke, but that dress in the last photo is not doing you any favors. Hope this helps,' said a guy named George, closing his message with a thumbs-up emoji. Instead of giving her compliments for things he liked, he chose to criticize the dress Thea wore in one of her photos. 

Annoyed, Thea shared their correspondence on Twitter as proof of how rude some people on Tinder can be. The responses were what you would expect, as fortunately, most people are normal and empathetic, in contrast to that George guy...

However, one unexpected thing happened. When people at ASOS saw how Thea was criticized for wearing their dress, they decided to make her their model and feature her photo on their website.

The Woman Got Her Revenge After Sharing the Rude Tinder Message She Received

'My name is Thea Chippendale, I’m 21 years old, and when the tweet happened, I was still a university student. Now, I work as a digital PR executive for a digital PR & SEO agency called Rise At Seven,' the young woman introduced herself. She admitted that things are now very different after that regrettable Tinder exchange.

'The situation started when I was on a usual scroll through Tinder and came across a message from the guy; he then wrote those comments,' she provided background on the story. 'I was so angry that I decided to tweet them, only thinking it would shock a few of my friends. But within a matter of hours, it took off, and thousands of people across the world tweeted me with support,' Thea says.

Thea also spoke about her response to ASOS’s reaction to the tweet: 'I was in shock when ASOS responded the way they did. I couldn’t believe that they had done what they did, and I was so grateful that they were able to put such a positive spin on such a negative situation.'

'Since the tweet, the CEO of ASOS, Nick Beighton, invited me to their HQ, where he and the amazing ASOS staff gave me a tour of how ASOS works and all the different departments they have,' Thea says. 'They also gave me a makeover, and I got to have a little photoshoot with their photographers – it was an amazing experience,' she concluded.

Thea also described how it has significantly impacted her career and life in general: 'As a result of the story, my now-boss tweeted about it, and her tweet went viral too. We managed to stay in contact, and now I work for her at Rise At Seven! So all in all, it’s amazing how much one tweet can impact your life. It’s incredible! My picture now gets recognized everywhere, and I’m now 'the ASOS girl.'
