What Happens When Parents Read Their Daughters' Tinder Messages

"I'm speechless."
By 

Senior Lifestyle Reporter, HuffPost

We think it might be time to initiate a new rule for Tinder correspondence: Would you want someone’s mom or dad reading your message? If the answer is “no,” don’t send.

That’s precisely what happens in the BuzzFeed video above: parents read obnoxious messages received by their Tinder-using daughters. 

“I wish you would send nudes,” one mom says, reading a relatively tame message. “I hate this.”

We do, too, mom, we do too.
