Fish pics were famously the most hated type of photo on dating apps, with Tinder even joking about officially banning them. Thankfully, they’ve become a rare species (at least in my swiping experience).
But fear not, a new contender has emerged. And dare I say, it might be even more cringe than its fishy predecessor.
Bug pics.
These are selfies taken from bizarre, unflattering angles—always with the guy looking down at the camera. The expressions vary, but are generally vacant stares, vaguely menacing frowns (a failed attempt at Blue Steel?), or a smirk that’s more unsettling than charming. The result? The point of view of a bug that’s about to get squished.


So y'all, please replace those. They’re weird and not your best angle (by far).
