This woman nailed Tinder with her bio
A woman from America has recently gone viral because of her tinder bio, and honestly, it beats all dating bios ever.
20-year-old Lauren, who did not share her last name, lost her arm last year in a moped accident.
Speaking to BuzzFeed, she explained that she lost control of the moped and sliced her arm when she came off.
āI was going pretty fast on a moped and lost control of it, and I hit the median in the road.
āI flew off and hit a sign and it sliced my arm off. I stayed conscious the whole time,ā she said.
The first responding officer had just received tourniquet training and was able to save Laurenās life.
Instead of letting the loss of her arm change her life negatively, she has turned to humour and social media.
She jokes openly about learning to live with one arm as a coping mechanism.
Lauren said: āFor a while, I wasnāt okay with the jokes.
āBut then I started telling the jokes, and itās kind of helped.ā
She added that her online commentary has helped other amputees and those with disabilities.
āI have never really hid it.
āPeople donāt see that very often, so a lot of people DM me to tell me itās really helpful to them, people who are also missing limbs or are disabled.ā

Lauren went even more viral after a screenshot of her Tinder bio ended up on Reddit.
She explained that she wrote it while drunk, as a way āto address the elephant in the room that I was missing a limb.ā
āI got home pretty drunk, and I donāt remember typing it up really,ā she said.
āI just woke up to someone DMāing me a Reddit post asking if it was me, and I was like damn, I guess it is.ā
In the bio, Laurenās works as an āarms dealerā.
āHands down the best catch on tinder
face 10/10
body 9/10
personality 20/10
arms 1/2,ā the description reads.
A picture of the bio has been retweeted thousands of times and many people are applauding her for her hilarious outlook on life.
Some have said they feel uncomfortable laughing about the horrific incident that led to the loss of her arm, but Lauren insists that she is ācompletely comfortable with itā.
āPeople always respond like, āOh, I feel bad for laughingā. And Iām like, āNo! I think itās funnyā¦I made it!ā,ā she added.
The dating app recently introduced gender-inclusive options on the platform.
Since the LGBT+ friendly feature was introduced, a quarter of a million trans users have been matched.
