It's been 20 years since Match.com first launched , which means that there have been two whole decades of brave men and women putting their love lives in the hands of the Internet.

Online dating revolutionized the way people connect with each other, opening up new avenues for finding romantic love -- and of course, bringing with it a whole host of new #DatingFails.

Here are 24 struggles of online dating that are old as Internet time.

1. Anyone can take one great profile picture -- especially if said picture is 5+ years old.

2. You have to face the fact that you may be the only person on Earth who doesn't find "running together" to be romantic.

3. Whether you're Latina, Asian or have a lot of tattoos, your identity is ripe for being openly fetishized online.

4. You will virtually run into at least 15 coworkers while swiping through Tinder -- and probably accidentally match with at least one of them. Awwwwwkward.

5. You never know if that hot 30-year-old is actually 22 -- or if that silver fox 52-year-old is actually 68.

6. You also never know whether the person you're meeting up with will have a voice that gives you the same feeling as listening to nails scraping against a chalkboard.

7. Half of the time you end up spending two months exchanging surface-level messages with someone, and then never actually meeting up...

8. ... Or you do meet up, but it's been so long that you have forgotten all those surface-level details and have to repeat the conversations in person.

9. GROUP. PHOTOS. But for real... which one is the person you're supposed to be dating?

10. You match with someone and excitedly realize you have a mutual friend -- and that it's your ex. Fail.

11. You find someone who you're a 99 percent match with online, and have everything from favorite bands to how you want to raise your kids in common, and then have 0 percent chemistry in real life.
