Carrie Mantha Bad Tinder Date Live Tweet

Illustrated by: Emily Turner.n

Live-tweeting TV shows is so last week. So is live-tweeting obnoxiously drunk plane passengers. It seems the new fad is live-tweeting Tinder dates, as proven Carrie Mantha, an entrepreneur/physician/biotech consultant/hedge-fund investor (phew!) who found herself in a New York City restaurant seated next to the date from hell. Rather than keep her thoughts to herself, Mantha took to social media so that the world could experience the horror as it transpired in real-time.

After her incisively hilarious commentary went viral, Buzzfeed caught up with Mantha to find out what compelled her to live-tweet the date. "It’s the kind of thing my friends would find amusing had they been sitting there with me,” she said. "So many people were amused and the conversation kept getting funnier so I felt compelled to keep sharing.”

And, boy, are we glad she did. In fact, Mantha's commentary on dating in the age of social media is so spot on, she may want to consider changing her last name to Bradshaw.

Dude just casually admitted it's his 3rd Tinder date OF THE DAY. Girl seems strangely amused, couple on the other side hilariously appalled

Oh God, he just said "Theoretically I should be providing for my daughter, but really my parents do that." Girl looks slightly confused

Apparently his 3-Tinder record today is marred with an * because he saw the girl come in, decided she wasn't as cute as her pic & snuck out

It's really hard to believe this guy made it this far without anyone snatching him up. What a catch.

He's giving a rundown on what was wrong with prior Tinder dates. One girl was from Alabama and just wanted to watch FB all day (the horror!)

"And this one girl ate AN ENTIRE DESSERT before the date was over AND asked for a bite of mine." (Sadly, I am now officially not his type)

"I don't JUST fly around being a socialite, I also run a fund. I'm a serious investor." I assumed all serious investors were also socialites

Girl: "When did you become an investor?" Dude: "I've basically always been one" Girl: "What do you invest in? Dude: "Whatever I want"

You guys, HE'S SWIPING THROUGH TINDER WHILE SHE'S IN THE BATHROOM. I think he might actually be an addict. Appears to be all right-swipes.

Girl: "Have you been to Africa?" Dude: "I used to go on safari with my family, but that's how you get ebola - eating lion brains & stuff."

Tinder Dude: "I lead a really healthy lifestyle. I take a lot of naps and smoke a lot of weed." And, he's totally free from Ebola to boot.
