‘That photo is not doing any favours’

The move came after Ms Chippendale posted a screenshot of a conversation she had had on Tinder with one of the men she had matched with.

In it, the man called George said, “Not gonna lie you’re a bit of a joke but that photo is not doing any favours. Hope this helps.”

Ms Chippendale replied, “Why did you feel like you needed to comment on it? Is your head that far up your own a**e that you thought your opinion mattered?”

In response, the man claimed that he would have had trouble sleeping if he hadn’t told her what he thought.

He said, “It’s awful you not reckon? Charity shop job! I tell you what.. GROW UP! And shop somewhere decent! Thanks. Hope this helps.”
