Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the internet.
I am your host Rebecca Felgate and today we are having a bit of a chat about dating.
I am recentlyish single and navigating the world of online dating can be a minefield,
I haven’t really tried it yet and after this list, I am pretty scared to!
Join me as we talk about the Top 10 Scary Tinder Stories!
I guess this list goes to show you have to be wary with people you meet online…they
might not be who they say they are.
Before we swipe right on into this video I want to know if you guys have a boyfriend
or girlfriend, and how did you meet?
Also, check out our description box for links to our social media.
Okay, coming in at number ten.
10 - Facebook Employee Uses Tinder to Stalk women
Recently, in May 2018, it came out that Facebook had fired an employee who had been using his
clout with the social media giants to access private information about women and stalk
them online.
The facebook security engineer used privileged access to find women.
A woman called Jackie Stokes shared her screen shotted exchanged with the man with facebook,
who were quick to act.
9 - 100 missed calls In a Reddit Thread about awful tinder stories,
a guy who’s username is Joskilatrix posted a story about a girl he matched with.
After 2 weeks of messaging, they met up.
He said he was excited for the stae as she seemed pretty and cool, with loads in common
with him.
They exchanged numbers and facebook details prior to meeting…
big mistake.
He said in person she seemed really off.
After a short date, he made his excuses and left, which was when she began bombarding
him with calls and over 100 texts.
She sent him a string of video messages of her crying, telling him she was suicidal.
She began messaging other people he knew when he blocked her.
Eventually, after weeks of bombardment, he managed to successfully cut her out… but
it was enough to make him delete his tinder.
8 - Angry Tiny Anus Sure, nobody’s personal safety was threatened
during this scary Tinder story, but it is still truly horrifying.
In a Buzzfeed Article about awful tinder dates, compiled from community responses, a buzfeeder
wrote in about an awful dinner companion.
Imagine going on a first date…sitting down to a lovely dinner and hearing this… they
wrote: “I went on a date with a guy from Tinder and as we were eating, he told me about
his visit to the doctor that day…
I listened sympathetically as he told me how he "regularly produced massive stools" due
to him being a vegetarian, making tears in his "tiny anus," which he had to put cream
on.
Needless to say I didn't date him again!”
I literally never want to hear about your anus, even if we have been together for ten
years.
Don’t tell me about your anus.
7 - A woman who attacked her boyfriend with a sword because she found out he had Tinder….
A warning to all of those using dating apps to cheat on their partners, it doesn’t end
well.
In March 2018, a woman in Camas Washington slashed her boyfriend with a Samurai sword
because he was using tinder. 30 year old Emily Javier stabbed her 29 year old boyfriend,
Alex Lovell, at their home and then called police to say she was worried he was dead.
It seems the whole incident was pre-meditated.
Emily had found the dating app on Alex’s phone, gone to the mall to buy the sword,
then launched her attack.
Immediately regretful as to what she had done, she called 911.
Luckily Alex survived the attack.
6 - Tinder Rapist In February 2018, a man was jailed for five
years for raping a woman who he met on tinder. 20-year-old Kristian Stevenson of Hemlington,
Middlesbrough, UK, was convicted of raping a woman who wished to remain anonymous.
The Rapist’s text stream with his victim was publicized, during which he defended Donald
Trump and said rape is, I quote, not that bad.
Kristian went to the victims home on their second date and tried to sleep with her.
She rebuffed his advances but he managed to pin her down.
She later text him saying he knew she didn’t want it but he continued anyway, to which
he replied, I know, I shouldn’t have.
An Unsolved Murder at number 5 So we do not know whether or not the killer
was definitely Tinder related, but we do know the last thing Sydney Loofe from Nebraska
did was go on a date with a woman she had met on the dating app.
24 year old Sydney posted how excited she was about her date on Snapchat – posting
a selfie and the heart eye emojis.
She met 23 year old Bailey Boswell and her phone was last pinged at her house that she
shared with roommate, Aubrey Trail, a 51 year old male.
When Sydney failed to show up to work the next day, she was reported missing.
She was found dead in a rural part of Clay County.
Both Bailey and Aubrey were arrested but protested their innocence.
4 - Fell off a Balcony In 2014, Warriena Wright was on a date with
a guy called Gable Tostee that she met on Tinder.
Warriena went back to Gable’s Gold Coast apartment and drank while listening to music.
The pair took a selfie together, although she looks out of it.
Gable made an audio recording on his phone asking Warriena to leave, threatening to throw
her off his balcony.
In the recording, the 26 year old female sounds distressed.
Gable seemed to threaten to lock her on his balcony, and woman tried to climb down to
her freedom, but instead fell to her death.
Gable was arrested for murder, but was cleared.
3 – Doused in Gasoline This is a horrifying Tinder tale if ever I
heard one!
In 2017, a man led police on a 100-mile chase on Australia’s East coast after stabbing
his Tinder date 11 times and dousing her in Gasoline.
Dr Angela Jay had been seeing 36 year old Paul Lambert for 2 months before she ended
their relationship.
He didn’t take it well and snuck into her house as part of a plot to rape and murder
her.
Angela had already started applying for a restraining order when Paul Broke in and stabbed
her legs, then doused her in Gasoline as she tried to escape.
She managed to flee to a neighbours house and call for help, with police trying to catch
the fleeing maniac.
Paul Lambert was shot dead after a lengthy car chase.
2 - Stabbed to Death 23 year old Molly McLaren was stabbed to death
by a man she men on Tinder, even after she reported him to police.
Molly, from Kent in the UK met Joshua Stimpson on Tinder in November 2016 and they dated
for four months.
After the woman called things off with the 26 year old male, he struggled to accepy it
was over.
They briefly got back together in June, but once again, Molly called things off because
of Joshua’s demanding nature.
She blocked him on social media, but he kept posting nasty things about her where he could,
which led to Molly reporting him to the police, she also told her friends she was scared if
him.
12 days after their relationship ended in June 2017, Joshua stabbed Molly 75 times in
her car in what was described as a frenzied attack.
Joshua was arrested at the scene.
It seems Joshua went on another Tinder date the night before Molly’s murder.
1 - Body dissolved in Acid In 2016 in Mexico City, Francia Ruth Ibarra
began dating Emmanuel Delani Valdez Beocangera’s, both of whom were 26 years old.
The pair dated for a short while, with their last date ending in Francia’s murder.
On the 3rd of December 2016, Francia got ready for her date, not knowing it would be her
last ever.
Police believe that the woman may have turned down Emmanuel’s advances, but they can’t
know for sure.
What they do know is that she was murdered, and her body dissolved in hydrochloric acid,
then her bones left out on his apartments balcony.
Reportedly the man was emotionless upon his arrest.
So that was the Top 10 Scary Tinder Stories…what did you think to this list?
What is quote strange is that I had to do extra research to include the three women
on this list, and that by and large it is men out there enacting violence using tinder.
I hope we find a way to make dating apps safe for everyone, but mainly find a way to protect
women from the few maniacs using the site
to hurt people.
