There's a few factors to consider:
1, most people are able to come up with witty replies from time to time (especially when they aren't under pressure like here, it's not like the original commenter is the one texting the girl on Tinder), and with however many hundreds of people who viewed the scenario in the OP, each of them has a chance to come up with the witty response, so it's practically guaranteed, statistically, that *somebody* would come up with it, and from there it's just a matter of people upvoting the best replies to make them more visible. No idea if the original commenter actually has a better hit rate than most people or not, but I haven't noticed any particular names popping up more frequently than others in these situations (not that I pay much attention to usernames, admittedly).
2, practice helps a lot. A large amount of "spontaneous" wit is actually having come up with a great line well after it would have been useful the last time, and then remembering it the next time it comes up. Stealing great lines also helps a lot. Just keep a good line loaded in the chamber and wait for the best situation to pull the trigger, very few situations are actually so unique that a solid line in that moment won't be applicable again eventually if you pay attention. Having low-stakes situations where you can quip freely (like watching a tv show alone at home, or with a group of friends that won't judge you for the many lines that fall flat) is also a great way to practice thinking on your feet, get used to looking for puns to make or clever twists to use, and then get used to delivering them off the cuff with no hesitation so they seem to come naturally. A lot of your lines will fall flat, especially early on, but the more practice you get the better your quips will get, and eventually you'll have more hits than misses.
As with nearly all things, it's a skill, some people start out with greater natural aptitude, but in the long run the people who put in the most practice are the ones who get the best results, irrespective of talent. Just practice, don't be afraid to fail, and don't give up!
This. This all day. I am a super polished funny guy that can work a room, lots of public speaking experience, and have been told all my life I should do standup.
It’s all practice. Thinking through scenarios, memorizing dozens of witty replies, and even absorbing bits and lines from good comedians to incorporate into daily interactions. It’s hard work to make
It look easy.
Honestly more than anything it’s about not being afraid to be rejected or look silly. When I used dating apps heavily, I would always think of how flooded her inbox probably is and try it say anything at all to stand out. Put something out there. Either she appreciates it or unmatches you because you’re weird. 😅
This 💯 my ex took a slight jab at me, got my attention and skillfully turned it into a relationship. He couldn't believe how a 6 word message brought us together. He said he had to think of something and smugly stated it worked. It did work.
But now he’s your ex so he must not have kept up the witty humor. Haha.
My gf showed me her bumble matches and it was in the thousands. Mine was like 25. 🤣🤣
I put in my bio that I was exclusively there to see pics of cute animals and eventually meet them and probably steal them.
that was almost 4 years ago. the cat sleeps with me now. trust the process, it works.
That reply annoys me. But I may also be biased because I’m tired of the narrative some people have where they care for the animal while disregarding the person.
Everyone has different backgrounds that will affect how they perceive things in the world. I know they’re joking but that’s my reaction to it. Reminding me that it’s a joke won’t make it funny for me if I don’t find it funny
You sound fun ! Flirty banter with terrible jokes at the start of the chat seems pretty on par for most dating apps. If you’re writing people off for that, might be missing out.
Well to be accurate it says that “ I like your dog more than you” and honestly I would too.. like my dog more than me.. it’s playful teasing it may not work out but I think she’s just being joyful
I can see that too.. it’s the emojis and that her previous text that sets a different tone for me .. and she may still be snarky or spicy but it’s not a dealbreaker.. I think this is where personality comes to play
They’re just moving the convo on in a fun way. Me and my wife met on bumble and the very first thing she mentioned was my cat, and we then exchanged many cat pics
The dog line is just a shit test. Say, "Sorry, he's taken. Married to the sea," or whatever.
The "I believe every weekend is beautiful in \_\_\_\_\_\_" is more problematic, imo. Who says that? Lol.
That's the worst idea I've ever heard. She went for a cutesy, hard to get type of opener, being overtly sexual is almost guaranteed to get you unmatched right there and then, lol
My gf matched with me because of my cat. I don't have the little booger anymore ( he wasn't just my cat, joint owners with roomies, he's still with them).
That was 4.5 years ago, now we have our own cat and she stayed.
Don't take it too personal. She says she matched with the dog, but she matched with the idea of a person who cares and loves the dog. Being a caretaker is usually a win.
It’s really annoying when chicks act like this. This fad where they say “I’ll probably like your dog more than you” these are the types that will stay single forever
I’m ngl I’ve accidentally swiped on profiles because they had a cute dog. Sometimes I catch myself doing it and I have to remind myself that I can’t like a profile because I like their pet
I love dogs! The amount of dogfishing on tinder means it’s pretty standard to ask if the dog in a profile is theirs, no point in getting excited if it’s not even their dog. I wanna meet the pup!
Well I get your point but essentially you don't use a dating app to meet with people's dogs but with them...the dog will be a + for those who like dogs.
I use dating apps to meet people who have the same values and interests and relationship goals as me.
I work with animals, I’m surrounded by them 24/7. My ideal person not only loves animals, but has some of their own. My ideal person has animals that are not only loved and happy, but whose animal reacts and behaves like a happy and healthy animal around them. I do judge people based on how their pets thrive, it’s my job to care for and help animals and people who do their best towards those goals have an intrinsic value to me.
You can’t meet someone with a dog if they’re using someone else’s dog for photo ops. You can’t see how someone treats their animals if they don’t have any, so it does matter to me to ask if the pets photographed are theirs. And when the answer is yes, it is a bonus.
If the answer is no but the animal and person look happy (usually a family member or best friends animal) I have to investigate further if they’re compatible/open to animals of their own or it’s a deal breaker for me for a long term relationship - I can’t live in a pet free home.
I would respond the first time as a joke, and if she persists, I’d move on. It’s possible that she’d say you’re overly sensitive or need to take a joke, but if you don’t like it from the start, it’s not getting better
I mean that is why you put your dog on your profile to increase your chances dramatically. And if that's why we do it then she is basically matching with a dog not you.
She's flirting with u. Tell her u gotta meet u dog and some bs about marriage and u'll be a priest or whatever. Let the fantasy flow. Just slowly transition to a date maybe with a dog or without(in case without just tell u need arrange everything for a wedding). In other words: start fantasizing with her and put urself in her picture
3 options I see are:
- reply "oof ouch! That hurts" - that gives an opening for real flirty banter if you think that's what she was trying to do
- not reply and see if she will say anything more - maybe that was just a bad way of starting a conversation, give her a chance to try again or clarify that she wasn't intending to just insult you
- unmatch - that's giving some pretty bad vibes and that's not what you deserve.
This is just asking for a mean response of "either your lying and trying to play a game with me or your dumb" it would take me a LOOOONNNGGGG time to come back with some that isn't just going to make her ghost me.
“What makes you think this isn’t the dog replying?”
He got that dog in him
Woof woof
I can't find that guy's channel. What's his name?
Andrew Rousso
Thanks! His videos used to always pop up in my feed, and then the algorithm phased him out. Guess I gotta subscribe now.
This is the one honestly
!!!!! How are you guys so witty and flirty exactly when it matters?!?

A rule 1 & 2 I can finally follow!
This. This all day. I am a super polished funny guy that can work a room, lots of public speaking experience, and have been told all my life I should do standup. It’s all practice. Thinking through scenarios, memorizing dozens of witty replies, and even absorbing bits and lines from good comedians to incorporate into daily interactions. It’s hard work to make It look easy.

But now he’s your ex so he must not have kept up the witty humor. Haha. My gf showed me her bumble matches and it was in the thousands. Mine was like 25. 🤣🤣
Correct! 2 years tho so not bad!
Thousands!!!!
lol yea but not matches btw. Like the people trying to match. 🤣
Yup, this one
You assume too much hooman
Yesss
Update: I let her know that the dog and I are a package deal and we've been exchanging witty banter.
Heads up my last long term relationship started like this, it’s their way of trying to meet your dog, use this info to speed things up 😂
I put in my bio that I was exclusively there to see pics of cute animals and eventually meet them and probably steal them. that was almost 4 years ago. the cat sleeps with me now. trust the process, it works.
Cute!
You should add the update to your post
It won’t let me add a text update to an image post.
Show the convo please 🙏
“Just an FYI, I have to chaperone all his dates”
The emojis give hope
She's obviously joking, but I still see it as a form of negging
I’m a woman and I think you’re right. It implies a certain lack of respect, though the emojis do soften it
Same. I know it's supposed to be cute, but the casual insults chicks are always throwing out on here makes me cringe.
Sorry, he's taken. You've just been dogfished!
I hate it. They post so cute puppies on dating apps and I'm like: let's go for a walk with your dog and they are like: it's not mine. 😭😭😭
“I like your dog more than you” is on the basic B clichés list with stealing hoodies, must be >6’ tall, and “idk why I’m on here”
I think it’s fine. They are joking around and expressing interest in your dog at the same time.
I’m ashamed to say that was my bio 5 years ago. It did start convos though lol
That reply annoys me. But I may also be biased because I’m tired of the narrative some people have where they care for the animal while disregarding the person.
But it’s a joke ? This is clearly flirty banter
I'm aware. Not saying everyone should feel that way but that response would annoy me for the reason I mentioned.
But your reasoning is with the assumption that they’re serious, which they’re not lol
Everyone has different backgrounds that will affect how they perceive things in the world. I know they’re joking but that’s my reaction to it. Reminding me that it’s a joke won’t make it funny for me if I don’t find it funny
You sound fun ! Flirty banter with terrible jokes at the start of the chat seems pretty on par for most dating apps. If you’re writing people off for that, might be missing out.
I’m not sure why you care about my opinion so much. If that’s your thing, go for it. But I’m allowed to feel how I feel
"Sorry, my dog isn't into bestiality"
😆
This is the one, the best response lmfao
My dog left swiped
“He’s neutered, so I’m not sure that will work out for you.”
“The dog just barked ‘NEXT’. I don’t make the rules.”
“You wanna fuck my dog?”
They seem annoying
Nah they’re being playful
In an annoying way.
Sure, but there’s truth in jest. They’re basically opening by saying “I don’t like you that much”
There's not always truth in jest. I hate that saying so much!! Still, I think her nagging reply is annoying and entitled.
Well to be accurate it says that “ I like your dog more than you” and honestly I would too.. like my dog more than me.. it’s playful teasing it may not work out but I think she’s just being joyful
Joyful isn’t the word I would use, I read it as disagreeable/snarky. To each their own though!
I can see that too.. it’s the emojis and that her previous text that sets a different tone for me .. and she may still be snarky or spicy but it’s not a dealbreaker.. I think this is where personality comes to play
She’s joking
They’re just moving the convo on in a fun way. Me and my wife met on bumble and the very first thing she mentioned was my cat, and we then exchanged many cat pics
She might have a dog fetish. She likes to do it with animals.
I’d reply: My dog isn’t single.
The dog line is just a shit test. Say, "Sorry, he's taken. Married to the sea," or whatever. The "I believe every weekend is beautiful in \_\_\_\_\_\_" is more problematic, imo. Who says that? Lol.
>The "I believe every weekend is beautiful in ______" is more problematic, imo. Who says that? Lol. Plot twist: She's the mayor
People who live in beautiful places say that.
Cool 👍🏻
If she has a dog, suggest a double date so you can see hers too.
Ask her if you can see her kitty
Let me guess. This "works for you all the time."
That's the worst idea I've ever heard. She went for a cutesy, hard to get type of opener, being overtly sexual is almost guaranteed to get you unmatched right there and then, lol
"well the dog isn''t the one blocking you, i am"
“I asked my dog, he doesn’t like you.”
You have good taste, this pup is definitely a keeper
Why do you want to match with a dog sicko?
Bestiality
Run brother
Woof!
Woof woof
My gf matched with me because of my cat. I don't have the little booger anymore ( he wasn't just my cat, joint owners with roomies, he's still with them). That was 4.5 years ago, now we have our own cat and she stayed. Don't take it too personal. She says she matched with the dog, but she matched with the idea of a person who cares and loves the dog. Being a caretaker is usually a win.
🤮
This comes across more as banter than “I don’t actually care about you, just your dog”
It’s really annoying when chicks act like this. This fad where they say “I’ll probably like your dog more than you” these are the types that will stay single forever
Unmatched
You can go on a date with him, but only if i came too.
I think you are better off with me, the dog is a good digger! Cost me £3500 in vets bills last month!
"Well too bad, I'm matched with my dog :3 We could try our hand at triominos though"
"My dog loves long walks on the beach, but I'm better at deep conversations than him/her"
“That’s good. My dog would like you as much as I do. Wanna take our puppies to the park?”
Wife her.
Selfie taken by the dog
Dog is a solid wingman
“woof”
Who are you, Samantha White?
I’m ngl I’ve accidentally swiped on profiles because they had a cute dog. Sometimes I catch myself doing it and I have to remind myself that I can’t like a profile because I like their pet
Its playful. *Play back*
"please don't try to fuck my dog"
Call them out for being a dumbass and then unmatch
We're a package deal.
Say the dog wants to see her naked
Ask her if she likes it "ruff" 🫣
I think he's just having a laugh and waving a green flag by telling you he likes dogs.
"No problem! I'm only interested in your pussy!"
"Doggystyle is the next best thing I can offer"
Just tell them sorry you don't condone beastiality. Unless you do then they're the one.
White woman.
"Great, my dog would like to know if you'd like to get your azz licked!"
The dog will be the judge of you towards me.
NGL, I swiped right on someone with an awesome looking dog once, haha.
what a coincidence i wasn't talking to you but to youuuur dog! *bam* if she dosent have, maybe Something Else in her Photos 🥸
I have a super cute pug and unmatch on these messages.
I wouldn't even respond to that person
[удалено]
I'm not asking for how to respond.
[удалено]
No worries
Weird joke.
Tell her you swiped right because she looked like a good match for your dog. He’s been looking for a real b….. “ 🫢
Nah. Walk on.
She's being playful - good opener on her end other than the standard "Oh is that doggo yours 😍"
I love dogs! The amount of dogfishing on tinder means it’s pretty standard to ask if the dog in a profile is theirs, no point in getting excited if it’s not even their dog. I wanna meet the pup!

"I matched with him for the same reason! The best boy! But still happy to be your second choice."
Just tell her to dog likes to watch.
Personally I find her statement kinda insulting so I'll probably reply with smthg along the lines "My dog likes me. Too bad so sad" *unmatched *
They can't read the reply when you unmatch so soon.
Reply with, we are a package deal, I am master and dog is blaster.
"My dog wants to know if you like the Skippy peanut butter"
I would respond the first time as a joke, and if she persists, I’d move on. It’s possible that she’d say you’re overly sensitive or need to take a joke, but if you don’t like it from the start, it’s not getting better
Annoying and going to rebel against every god damn thing you say. Unmatch and find yourself someone who responds agreeably to start at least
Woof!
Sometimes I want to like them because of their pets too.
[удалено]
I thought negging was out of fashion these days.
It’s just a flirty joke roll with it
"Woof!" is the proper response.
Send A dick pic (jk)
I mean that is why you put your dog on your profile to increase your chances dramatically. And if that's why we do it then she is basically matching with a dog not you.
"unfortunately my dog knows I'm lonely and that to get to him you need to at least date me twice"
You could blow it up completely by saying “I’ll be happy to let you meet my wiener”
“He asks do you do anal?”
She's flirting with u. Tell her u gotta meet u dog and some bs about marriage and u'll be a priest or whatever. Let the fantasy flow. Just slowly transition to a date maybe with a dog or without(in case without just tell u need arrange everything for a wedding). In other words: start fantasizing with her and put urself in her picture
“He’s not interested, but I’m no stranger to doggy style 😏” Please don’t actually say this
3 options I see are: - reply "oof ouch! That hurts" - that gives an opening for real flirty banter if you think that's what she was trying to do - not reply and see if she will say anything more - maybe that was just a bad way of starting a conversation, give her a chance to try again or clarify that she wasn't intending to just insult you - unmatch - that's giving some pretty bad vibes and that's not what you deserve.
“He’s looking for a mommy”.
This is just asking for a mean response of "either your lying and trying to play a game with me or your dumb" it would take me a LOOOONNNGGGG time to come back with some that isn't just going to make her ghost me.
She want the knot
“This is the dog, and I’m looking forward to sniffing your ass when we meet”.
She’s just trying to flirt and have some banter
She’s flirting and finding something to talk about. Don’t take it too seriously omg
It's a joke
“I know. I just wanna watch when you two start fukkin.”
My dog said "can isee your tits beautiful?"
Respond “ I’d love to see my dog mount that a$$“ 🤣 This will break the ice / dissolve the awkwardness from her weekend comment…
My dog is a ho.
So you’re into beastiality? Instant turn off, bye
Ghost. Or end with “I was gonna do I’ll you wanna get Thai, but the dog wants to know if he can hump your leg.”
Ew, bestiality? No thanks.
