There is certainly a lot of talk about 'sensitivity' these days online, but no matter where you fall on sides of that argument, everyone can agree that grief is something that always should be handled with care.

Yet that wasn't quite the experience that 36-year-old Jenn Welch experienced when she decided to be up front about a recent loss with her matches on Tinder.

Jenn, a New York City-based comedian, lost her father less than a month ago to . And while she certainly doesn't feel ready to leap into dating life, she decided to turn her grief into a bit of a social experiment.

Getting through it: Jenn Welch, 36, a New York City-based comedian, has been informing her Tinder matches of the recent loss of her father

She took to the edit page of her Tinder profile and wrote: 'I'm a comedian. My dad just died,' and started swiping.

Seemingly using humor to help her deal with her dad's death, Jenn has started an Instagram and Tumblr page dedicated to the reactions she has received from potential dates on the app.

In a description on her first post, Jenn insists that everything that follows is real, adding that she knows perfectly well that now is not the time for her to be leaping into a relationships.

'So, I decided to take my sadness to everybody’s favorite casual hook-up swamp, Tinder, and fling it at my matches like an unsolicited dick pic,' she writes.

Not so good: She claims the reactions have 'run the gamut from sweet to repulsive'

Just wow: She has been sharing screen shots of the conversations on Tumblr and Instagram accounts dubbed Dead Dad Tinder

'I put everything a Tinder match would need to know right there in my bio - I’m a comedian, my dad just died - and since a lot of men don’t read words if there’s a picture of pretty lady’s face above them, I made sure to mention my dad’s death at the top of each conversation,' she adds.

'The responses have run the gamut from sweet to repulsive and wow I suddenly feel less alone.'

The exchanges displayed on the accounts, dubbed Dead Dad Tinder, prove that not everyone knows how to handle dealing with another person going through something traumatic - especially if that person is a stranger.

Most men seem to respond with 'sorry to hear that' or 'that sucks', with many also attempting to continue the conversation after getting condolences out of the way.

Others made no attempt at sympathy, even responding in despicable ways, such as one man who asked her: 'Can I bury him in your a*****e?'

Looking up: She claims that the strange conversations have helped her cope with the loss

Or another man 'looking for a hookup' who, when Jenn declined politely explaining that her father had died, insisted: 'Why not?'

Speaking to Cosmopolitan.com, Jenn insisted that she isn't trying to make fun of the men involved, saying she is just dealing with her pain in way that may be more healthy than jumping into a relationship - or taking it out randomly on people around her.

'I remember there was a lady just the other day in Target, I was kind of in a daze — it just hits you at different times,' she said.

'I was standing in what I thought was a line, and this lady was just like, why are you standing in line? I just wanted to yell at her, MY DAD JUST DIED. You have this instinct that you just want to yell this at people, you know?'

By not pretending she is okay, Jenn is hoping that it might help her get to the point where she is.
