Christmas Eve is the date we’re most likely to receive a text from an ex, according to the findings. Read more…

Dating is tough for everyone. It looks like humans aren’t the only ones into swiping for dates these days and apparently we aren’t the only ones with high standards.
A video of a gorilla at the Louisville Zoo has gone viral once again after a zoo goer sat beside him, showing him photos of other gorillas.
The gorilla appears to be signaling for “next” as we often do when swiping on dating apps like Tinder, proving he can’t settle for just any mate.
