Here are some of the top-voted responses:

— u / pinkynarftroz
2.“What is your credit score?”
— uranium / Shahfluffers
3.“I was on Bumble and got asked my Myers-Briggs personality type. When I responded, she unmatched me immediately. Gotta respect the hustle.”
— u / chromane
4.“I had my job title and company on my profile, which back then was an administrative/management job for a UK parcel company. A girl messaged me asking if I could track her parcel for her. I didn’t know if she was joking or not but she just kept asking me weird things about parcels and then blocked me.”
— uracil / Jlaw118
5.“I was on hinge for a while and saw someone had ‘can’t text/call/meet on weekends because I’m in jail.’ I thought this was a joke. It was not. She was doing time on the weekend for assault.”
— u / Exobyter
6.“Her first message was, ‘I guess you’ll do.'”
— uracil / Bigtits38
7.“Where’s the nearest KFC to you, because Friday nights are for chicken ‘n’ dickin’.”
— u / crazyforkovu
8.“I once got an opening message that said something like, ‘You might not be the prettiest girl on here, but beauty is only a light switch away.’ This was over 10 years ago, and I bet that dude is still single.”
— u / Crystaltornado
9."‘I want my wife to have your eyes.’ I don’t think it was meant like that, but my first thought was that the dude wanted to cut out my eyeballs."
— uracil / CurvyCarrots
10."‘You’re cute. Hate dogs though.’ (I had my very cute dog in a photo.)"
— u / DuffNinja
11.“A woman texted me on Bumble ‘fight me.’ It was the weirdest but funniest first message I ever received.”
— uranium / gift_wrapist
12.“After matching with a girl, she messaged me first with ‘Meow.’ That’s all she sent — no context, no reference to cats in either of our profiles, no follow-up to it. I was left completely bewildered and confused. I didn’t know how to respond to being meowed at so I just unmatched and went about my day.”
— u / WatchingThisWatch
13.“Back in college, I got an opener from this girl saying, ‘I really wish they taught us more about Vikings in school, you know? Like I feel that’s a big topic we just overlooked.’ It was fucking weird, but I bit. Went on a couple of dates. She was a total weirdo, but certainly not boring.”
— u / sdpthrowaway3
14.“I once had a guy ask me my thoughts about lizard people. He mentioned it in his profile, and I thought it was a joke because it’s such a bonkers conspiracy. Who the fuck could actually believe it? So I matched with him. And turns out he was very, very serious about it.”
— u / CaptainFartHole
15.“Last week I got ‘I like your long torso.'”
— atomic number 92 / orceingiemsa
16.“A woman asked me what I did for a living, which is a normal question. But her follow-up question was, ‘And how much do you earn doing that?’ Hard pass.”
— u / working_class_tired
17.“A long time ago on Plentyoffish, a guy told me that I was gorgeous but a 2/10 because my elbows were too pointy. I didn’t know it was a meme at the time, so I just said ‘okay’ and never messaged him again.”
— u / FizzleKit10
18.And finally, “I was the weird one. I’d start off commenting about something in the background of a picture. If I couldn’t think of something funny I’d just say, ‘How do you feel about geese?’ Most people have strong opinions.”
