Tinder: every creepy guy's favorite platform to harass women with bizarre and/or threatening messages semi-anonymously.

The sad part is, from my own experience, 90% of the time they're not joking. These under-evolved neanderthals truly believe that their embarrassing pick-up lines and unsolicited dick pics will make women swoon.

Although intended to plant the seeds for hook-ups and budding romances, Tinder is basically just a safe-haven for douche lords to say whatever the hell they want and get away with it.

And when we reject them, even nicely, we flip the switch from "Yeah I guess I'd call myself a feminist" to prehistoric, poo-flinging, chest-beating ape.

A few weeks ago, I reactivated my Tinder for the express reason of trolling my matches. And I decided to document it.

From my research, I have comprised a handy dandy list of the best trolling methods. Featuring some images of my own Tinder matches!

Here's how you fracture some fragile masculinity.

1. Come up with a clever "reason" to unmatch them

If you just want to unmatch them and not make a big scene, you might as well come up with a funny reason for it. Don't just click the "No Reason" option. give Tinder a really clever reason why. This is mostly just for yourself, but it's still funny. I didn't report this guy, but

2. Take screenshots of the convo and send it to your friends

Again, more for you than anything, but odds are, you'll have material to make fun of this loser for weeks.

3. In responding to bad pick up lines: Be either really subtle or really overt

If you're going to give a harsh response to a pickup line (and or any dumb thing this loser says), make sure it's very clever and funny. If you're going to be subtle, you can either play along with it and troll them, or just subtly make what they said look stupid until they finally realize you're playing them.

Except this guy never did:

4. Become overly attached really quickly (and/or be really creepy)

PrankDial his ass. Star 67 him.

OR: send him "automated text messages" from a fake texting service you made up. My favorites are "Feminist Facts Daily" and "Queer Love Poem of the Day." Honestly, anything that fractures his hetero-normative masculinity is gold.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
