Woman’s Tinder profile went viral after embarrassed man’s awkward question

Birmingham singleton Emily was dumbfounded when a potential date asked a very puzzling question. “This may sound weird but are you an amputee?” Was the opening line of a guy who was a match on Tinder. 

Once she realized why the embarrassing question, she went into fits of howling and laughter. 

Emily, a 21-year-old student at Birmingham City University, shared her video on TikTok that was seen more than 700,000 times. With the caption, “I’m done.” it has gone viral and peppered with hundreds of comments. Who could blame the guy? Her photos on the dating app seemed as if she had only one arm.

Dating Faux Pas?

Thinking that the man made a blunder in dating etiquette, she replied no and said she can’t wait for his next chat-up line. In their conversation, he maintained that his question was genuine. The guy then asked Emily to take a look back at all her photos.

She did and what happened next left her howling. Then, she saw that he did have a point. She never realized before that the photos she shared showed only her left arm. Indeed, the pics would make anyone think that she has no right arm.

Going Viral

In a follow-up video, Emily admitted to seeing why the man would make that mistake. “You only ever have 1 arm in them.” was his reply. She noticed how in all of her pics on the dating platform, she unknowingly hid the right side of her body. 

Curiosity about the photos made her create a video about them. In it, she clarified that she does have two arms and shared the snaps which made one man think the opposite.

The video went viral and many commenters agreed with what her potential match saw, she did look like an amputee. People were left in stitches as they saw why anyone would get confused. Many comments told her about how funny and awkward they found the situation to be.

The Comments

Hysterics then ensued as many viewers agreed with what the man saw in her appearance. Emily acknowledged that her photos did seem to back the poor guy’s assessment of her body. As sultry and stunning her poses were, she unwittingly showed only one side.

Comments such as “He was totally right.” and “This is probably the funniest TikTok I’ve ever seen, omg. I’m literally crying.”  Another wrote, “The fact that it’s the same arm every time, too.” and “He has good observational skills.” All these comments show why the whole incident justifies the man’s question as being mortifying.

You would think that asking if someone is an amputee is a bit off for a first-time dating chat. One viewer commented that the one with her wearing the Betty Boop shirt was probably what made the guy ask her the question. 

Almost everyone who saw the exchange between them clearly sided with the man. With over 95,000 likes, the guy has good enough reasons to wonder and get baffled by it all.

Lesson Learned

Thinking that the guy’s probably trying hard to think of a unique way to chat with her, Emily now says that she learned her lesson. She now thinks he’s right and will have to think about it every time she takes a selfie from now on. 

As for the guy who asked her that question, there were no reports if he ever got to date her or anyone, for that matter.
