Swipe Left on This 'GoT' Spoiler on Tinder

by Caroline Pate

There's already a lot of weirdos on Tinder, a place full of mirror selfies, an inordinate amount of pictures of guys with wild animals, and even people who use Jaden Smith's tweets to pick up women. But the most vicious of them all is Bread Foster, who is (of course) one of the bros on BroBible who wrote a post about his success with women not with pickup lines, but with Game of Thrones spoilers.

It seems that Foster has a beef with fans who haven't read the books and yet complain about "spoilers," so he went ahead and spoiled the show for them by (spoiler alert, of course) telling them about how Tyrion kills his father (he also throws in a few fake spoilers, as well). As you can imagine, the women don't react well. Sure, the ones who've read the books aren't surprised, but in the rest of the exchanges, he's called Joffrey a demon, and several curse words are involved.

But why use television references on Tinder in the name of spoilers when you can use them in the name of love, instead? It's a dating app, after all. We came up with some pickup lines so you can use your love of pop culture in the name of good, not evil.

Game of Thrones

"You must be a bravos, because you look like you know how to use your sword."

"Are you a White Walker? Because I want you to have my babies."

"Winter won't be the only thing that's coming."

"Are you a celestial being? Because you look like my sun and stars." (Or if they're really nerdy, go for Shekh Ma Shieraki Anni, which means "my sun and stars" in Dothraki.)

"Your name must be Tyrion, because you seem like you'd be a Lion in the sack."

"Hodor."

Arrested Development

"Wanna see what's under these jean shorts?"

"Teach me the ways of the secular flesh." (Courtesy of the Veals).

"Wanna make a huge mistake?"

"I just blue myself thinking of you."

"I'll show you what's in the banana stand... in my pants."

The Hunger Games

"Your name must be Peeta, because you have some hot buns."

"Is your name Katniss? Because girl, you are on fire."

"You must be good at making snares, because you've got me caught in your beautiful eyes."

"Need a date? I volunteer as tribute."

"Is your name Katniss Everdeen? Because you've got my district in an uprising."
