Unsuspecting Tinderellas & Tinderfellas Swipe-Right To Serial Killers
An American actress and absolute pranking ledge has tested the thirsty lengths Tinder users will go to for a match. She set up fake profiles using pictures and assuming the identities from two notorious serial killers – cult leader Charles Manson and ‘Monster‘ killer Aileen Wuornos – and surprisingly got a bunch of yes’s. You filthy lot.
In the sly social experiment on Tinder, Natalie Walker posed as serial killers, including a range of images from the killers earlier years in the created profiles.
Manson’s profile includes some of the masterminds iconic images and the not-so-subtle bio: “I love the Inkwell and Valencia filters. Also I want to control you.”

Despite this, ‘Charlie’ got a match after three days and engaged in some blatantly obvious but frankly hilarious conversations with matches, slipping in an odd “Do you think a lot about the imminent race war?” into convos.

Next up Walker posed as serial killer Aileen Wuornos. Proving that guys on Tinder practically swipe-right everyone, she got 12 matches in just eight minutes. This is despite the profile reading: “I want to kill white men“. For real. Thirsty, thirsty, thirsty.
