This Woman Rejected an Olympic Swimmer on Tinder, Realizes Poor Decision Post-Win

|

Tinder is a goldmine for catfish and hookup buddies, so when Sabryna Salazar, a 20-year-old University of Texas student, matched with Olympic swimmer Joseph Schooling, it wasn’t surprising that she completely blew him off. After all, she had no idea who he was or what he was about to become.

“I figured he was a swimmer here at UT though based on his profile,” she told Buzzfeed. But when Schooling beat Michael Phelps in the 100m butterfly, she realized his name sounded familiar. “I was watching Michael Phelps in the 100m butterfly race and then Joseph won. I noticed the name sounded familiar and the announcers kept saying he was a Longhorn so I looked back through my Tinder matches and found out it was him.”

Their conversation was short and sweet, with Salazar ignoring his last message. Considering the 21-year-old Texas Longhorn is a ripped babe with dimples, we have no idea why she ignored him in the first place. And neither could Twitter, where she posted their brief encounter with the accompanied tweet “My Tinder just won the 100M butterfly final and beat Michael Phelps. This is my greatest accomplishment… and not replying to his message was my greatest failure.”

Since the NBC Olympics account retweeted Salazar, her original tweet garnered more than 38,000 retweets and 77,000 favorites. Reactions to the tweets are hilarious, with some offering advice and others just rubbing the poor decision in her face.

“Reply now. Tell him you were building houses in a third world country for the month and had no internet! Sorted! ” wrote @spin1038. “Putting this on social media was your greatest failure lmao,” Michael Martinez added.

And then the thought that hit all of us after reading this story: “I better get to replying to all of mine rn,” Kait Mess tweeted. Yup, that’s a lesson learned right there.
