Picky gorilla wanting to see more pictures of apes is all of us on dating apps

"Eh no, next one please."

Dating is tough for everyone. It looks like humans aren't the only ones into swiping for dates these days and apparently we aren't the only ones with high standards.

A video of a gorilla at the Louisville Zoo has gone viral once again after a zoo goer sat beside him, showing him photos of other gorillas.

The gorilla appears to be signaling for "next" as we often do when swiping on dating apps like Tinder, proving he can't settle for just any mate.

While it isn't clear if the gorilla found a match he approved of, people shared their concerns and hilarious scenarios of how this dating process most likely would've gone.

Good thing gorillas probably don't have much of a catfishing problem.
