Australian woman Georgia McCudden believed she had matched with someone promising on Hinge.
That optimism quickly gave way to confusion when the man sent an unsolicited voice message dissecting virtually every detail of her dating profile.
Georgia, a popular YouTuber known for her comedy sketches and hilarious observations online, shared the encounter with her followers after receiving the lengthy audio message.
Instead of starting with small talk or a typical opening question, the unidentified match seemed to review Georgia’s profile as he went. He offered commentary on her clothing, bikini pictures, hometown and the kind of relationship she hoped to find.
He made little effort to soften his opinions.
The message initially appeared harmless, as the man praised the first image on Georgia’s Hinge account.
‘This first photo, you look really good in that dress. I really like that style. Actually, it’s very girly,’ he said.
He then pivoted unexpectedly to another detail from her profile, before trying to work out precisely what Georgia wanted from the dating app.
Australian woman Georgia McCudden (pictured) thought she had found a promising Hinge match, until he sent an unsolicited voice note reviewing her entire dating profile.
Rather than making conventional conversation, Georgia’s mystery match appeared to scroll through her profile in real time, commenting on her outfits, bikini photos, location and dating intentions.
‘You’re figuring out my relationship type. Does that mean you just want to hook up, or are you trying to find someone?’ he continued.
‘I’m assuming that’s just like a hookup because you put that you’re looking for something. I don’t know. You tell me. Either is fine.’
Making his way through Georgia’s profile, the man returned to commenting on her appearance, telling her she dressed ‘awesome.’
After spotting what appeared to be a radio-related photograph, he questioned whether she worked as a presenter.
‘Looks like you’re on some kind of Triple J radio station. Are you a radio host?’ he asked.
But the commentary became increasingly awkward when he discovered Georgia was originally from Newcastle and now lived in Sydney’s Haymarket.
‘You must be like the only Caucasian in Haymarket. It’s probably racist as hell, but it’s true.’
Seemingly unfazed by his own remark, the man swiftly continued scrolling and landed on another prompt revealing Georgia had once driven two hours from an airport before realising she’d left her suitcase behind.

‘Oh, that’s got to hurt,’ he remarked.
His running commentary was far from over. Upon reaching one of Georgia’s bikini photographs, he couldn’t resist sharing his verdict on that too.

‘You look awesome in a bikini too. I’m not going to lie, can’t ignore that,’ he said.
Finally, he came across an image of a bath on a balcony, which prompted perhaps his most forward observation of the entire message.
‘This bath, this bath on a balcony. I just want to get naked on a balcony and get in, and it looks good.’
After working his way through seemingly every corner of her dating profile, the man eventually signed off by putting the ball firmly back in Georgia’s court.
‘Anyway, I’m going to leave this here for you to choose to reply or not.’
Georgia shared the humorous voice note on Instagram, where her followers were both baffled and highly entertained by the unusual approach.
‘Oh, he chose the wrong girl to critique,’ one person joked.
‘You should have done the same thing back to him but in a funny, sarcastic way,’ another wrote.
‘I think the fish you’re holding in the third pic is a 5/10, I’ve definitely seen better,’ a person joked, mocking men’s profiles holding their catch of the day.
‘I would have kept talking to him because this is too entertaining, I’d send him more things to review,’ one person confessed.
‘The audacity of men,’ a fed-up follower declared.
But while plenty were left stunned by the man’s approach, others surprisingly admitted they didn’t completely hate it.
‘I fear this would work on me,’ one wrote.
‘Nah, this guy’s a keeper,’ another agreed.
Not everyone was convinced, however, with another person declaring that the dating bar ‘is in hell.’
‘Bloody brilliant! This makes me actually feel good about being nearly 58 instead of nearly 28! Like, Wtaf,’ a woman boasted.
While singles are no strangers to unusual opening lines and questionable messages on dating apps, receiving a running review of your photos, prompts, location and romantic intentions before you’ve even made it to a first date appears to be a new level of oversharing.
And judging by the mixed reaction to Georgia’s encounter, the man’s unconventional approach was either a spectacular dating faux pas or, for a surprising number of viewers, strangely effective.
