    Most of them literally “start the conversation” by saying something like “hey.”

    Not much was really lost here.

    The amount of women on there who write they don’t message first is astronomical. Sure, most are bots who copy/paste their bios but come on?

    Yeah that never um worked…

    I loved the idea but I would get a ton of matches then they would just never message….

    Lame, it will become like the other apps and have even less women on it.

    I’m pretty sure this is because they lost a class action discrimination suit

    They never really made the first move anyways. “Hey” Then it’s up to you as the man to carry the rest of the ineraction.

  7. That rule was really stifling attracting the gay men demo. Now Grindr is in trouble.

    Aren’t dating apps filled with bots, catfishers/scammers, and inactive profiles?

    Is “not making the first move” generally out of shyness, anxiety?

  10. That was the primary reason I used it in the past, lol. Now what differentiates it from any other app?

    It will just be the same dudes carpet bombing “hey beautiful” to a million women.

    Pretty soon you’ll have to chat with a girl’s Chat BeePT bot for a few days, then if you score high enough she’ll actually see your message 🙄

    Why just let it the match last untill the girl unmatches. Seems to make more sense

    Dating is broken beyond repair. 

    It makes me wonder if the reason we exist in the first place, is because our parents forced their kids to marry and have kids

    Maybe the suffering of life simply doesn’t outweigh its pleasures. .. 

    ..Just kidding. Bring on the robot girlfriends/boyfriends and artificial wombs, and forget about the past

    This Bumble app reminds me of that lady that had the smart idea to start an only ladies bar,no one was buying drinks,old habits die hard🤣

    If girls want the guy to initiate first all they have to do is just type literally anything like “hi” so the dude can have a chance to say something.

    I have this option in my account already, but am in no way turning it on. It’s already no different to Tinder EXCEPT that I’m not bombarded with boring time wasters.

    Bumble BFF is the only good thing about the app, and even then it’s still just an app relying on the user’s emotional intelligence and bandwidth. I’d rather go IRL.

    Anyone that started with “hey”, “hi” or anything similar will always end up being a catfish or unmatched.

    The ones I went on a date with always started with a long sentence that would showcase their personality
