Amputee Woman Fields 12 Marriage Proposals After Listing Herself as 'Arms Dealer' on Tinder Posted: 5:08 PM, August 16, 2017 Updated: 5:08 PM, August 16, 2017
A San Diego woman's humor about her missing arm on her dating profile has led her to become a Tinder sensation.
Lauren, 21, lost her left arm in a moped accident a year ago, but that hasn't stopped her from creating a profile that puts her amputation on full display, along with this cheeky bio.
On her Tinder profile, she jokingly wrote she's “hands down the best catch on Tinder.”
She also stated that she is an “arms dealer” and rated her “arms 1/2” and “personality 20/10.”
The response from male suitors has been incredible and now she is inundated with thousands of date requests.
She has even had 12 marriage proposals.
“I figured it would be fun to make a profile and get some interesting messages,” she told Inside Edition. “It was really unexpected. I got a lot of compliments.”
The 21-year-old has even become a mini-celebrity around town.
“My sister and I were at a restaurant and the waitress was like, ‘Oh my God, you are so brave,'" she said.

Even Tinder reached out, donating and donated to her GoFundMe page to raise money for a prosthetic arm.
“They donated a big chunk," Lauren said. "They donated over $15,000, which is incredible."
Now that she's put herself out there, Lauren says she is not put off by any negative attention she may attract.
“I am totally comfortable with my body," she said. "People can say whatever they want to me. They can make jokes, they can make fun of me and I am still going to be myself and be happy."
Not guilty
Well, the fact that she is a real cutie pie didn’t hurt her prospects.
Can she make me a sammich?
I’m gonna time her.
/sarc
I see that she can’t put on a bra. Not that I’m complaining or anything.
give that girl a hand
Props to her for having a sense of humor about her accident.
I’m impressed!
oops
More beautiful than before ...
ummm
She’s cute and has a sense of humor. What’s not to like?
Not at all.
You suck.....lol.
She’s disarming but strictly hands off.
Another California lefty
Uh oh, now comes the part where all the Tinder trannies complain that they can’t get men - so unfair. They’re being hated on.
Bravo! It is entirely a choice to think of yourself as a victim or not a victim, to be happy or not happy. She chooses wisely.
She’s an attractive woman.
That is a conservative sentiment. If society at large took her advice and took themselves less seriously, we would all be better off.
