Chemistry Dating Profile: Bonding On A Molecular Level

Chemistry pickup lines just reached a whole new level of nerdy brilliance! This meme introduces "Nilered" (a play on the popular chemistry YouTuber NileRed) with his orientation listed as "aromatic, mainly hydrocarbons" - because he's literally made of benzene rings like the benzaldehyde structure shown. The joke gets even better with his flirty promise to "bond with you covalently and ionically" and "enter your orbital if you want him to." It's basically a chemist's Tinder profile where molecular bonding becomes an innuendo for relationships. The title even references oxytocin (the "love hormone") with another chemistry pun about being "aromatic" (which in chemistry refers to compounds with rings of delocalized electrons). This is what happens when organic chemistry students try dating apps!
