Maybe he was the type of dude who liked a sexy lil' sparkly stripper. Or perhaps she had an affinity for Winnie the Pooh. Whatever your virtual partner liked, there was a glittery GIF out there that could say all that you ever wanted to say, but in the form of a weird, sometimes misspelled, but always flashy image.
