      “Look, I still like you and wish you the best, so I want to help you maximize your chances to move on. This really helps both of us.”
      Yeah, I can see it.

        Depends on how you paint it I guess.

    Receiving one of these as a gift must be one of the saddest experiences known to man…

    I’d rather just get the generic men’s gift starter pack of Lynx/Axe deodorant, socks, and a DVD of [insert movie that was popular a few months ago]

      Depends. It can be a good joke gift in your early twenties between men, but on any other occasions it can get pretty depressing.

        High-quality socks are a great gift, but these socks usually aren’t that

      I don’t know which is sadder to receive, this gift card or a gym membership.

        Some people actually enjoy fitness so i am sure they could appreciate it.

        I am not one of them, they are alien to me but they do exist.

          True, although they would probably already have a gym membership. I was thinking more about how some people will give a gym membership as a gift to basically send the message that the recipient is fat.

          Yes but these people cheat by being fit in the gym from the start. That’s not how it’s supposed to work, he completely ruins the montage.

    This is almost as bad as my grandmother giving us self help books for birthdays/ christmas. My sister and I got several how to lose weight books and she has eating disorders. I’m just fat.

      I think it’s supposed to be dystopian that you can buy gift cards for Tinder but I dunno, if you know someone is using Tinder then it might be an useful gift. Especially since it’s premium or what’s it called is that expensive.

        Plus there’s the whole economy of people who don’t have access to credit cards, but can buy gift cards in person, or trade for them.

          This. And even if you have one, maybe Tinder is not the company you want to share your credit card details with?

          OTOH, I think you need a facebook account to log in? It used to be like that a few years ago.

            This is for people who don’t want their SO to see Tinder on their statement

              For example, and there may be good reasons for that, too. Picture a person in an abusive/violent relationship who tries to escape.

        “my standards are too high to fuck you myself as a gift, so much so that I decided to purchase you a gift card, with my own money, so that someone else can reject you instead.”

        “oh, thanks”

    The hell does the Snapchat gift card give you? I’ve never used Snapchat I thought it was free.

      Snapchat premium or whatever it’s called. It allows you to change the background, delete messages, more tapbacks and other messaging features. Remove the stupid AI. Maybe removes ads from stories?

          I could be wrong. I remember it was something like that I was trying to do that I couldn’t without the paid version
