Though hilarious, these ridiculous dating apps are a compilation of some of the strangest and crudest apps on the market today. Whether you're looking for the love of an elderly gentleman with a lot of cash or a fellow Mac lover, these intensely specific apps will find you the partner of your dreams.
Some are truly useful for the dating world. The Burner app for iPhone, for instance, gives you a temporary number that you can answer from to give out to people you've just met. It gives you a chance to vet them before trusting them not to stalk you using your real information. The Tiger Text iPhone app, as well, gives you the chance to erase any embarrassing mistakes so you can appear suave and smooth to your new love interest in your texting exchanges.
