Went on a hiking trip with a girl I matched with on Hinge. It was literally 30°C uphill, obviously I was drenched in sweat. Now she’s posting IG stories joking about 'surviving the biohazard stench' and zooming in on my soaked back for laughs 💀 Am I crazy for being furious, or is this totally out of line?

You are not crazy at all—that is completely out of line. Sweating heavily while hiking uphill in the summer heat is basic biology, but turning your body into public punchlines for internet clout is plain disrespectful. Disguising body-shaming as "travel humor" is a cheap way to dodge accountability. When someone broadcasts your private moments without asking and mocks something you cannot control, they are showing you that their online engagement matters more than your dignity. Tell her directly to remove it: "Take those stories down. Sweating on a steep trail is normal, but putting me on blast to your followers isn't funny to me." Don't get pulled into a debate about whether you "can't take a joke." Her reaction will show you immediately if she has genuine empathy or just wants an audience. You deserve a hiking partner who shares water on the trail, not someone who uses you as content.
