I don't have much of an introduction for this one, the title says it all. Today we are looking at three increasingly disturbing profiles that play to a potential match's sympathy. Nobody ever swipes right on these guys, y'all. Nobody ever responds to their messages, so they might just have to give up! Cue eye roll... until the ploy for sympathy crosses the line into what very well may be a legitimate cry for help. Let's talk about how to navigate these profiles (spoiler alert: mostly just don't) and how to take care of your own mental health when it comes to the ups and downs of the dating app experience. 

Content warning starting at the 24:28 mark for discussions that touch on depression, allusions to violence against women, allusions to self harm, allusions to potential suicidal ideation. Take care of yourselves, folks!
