Well, although I'm not so sure about bumble, I know women on tinder have a volume problem, a few friends have shown me the number of matches and current conversations and wow, it's actually absurd. I could not maintain that many interactions either. So perhaps if not an issue with formulating an opener there's just too many matches to reasonably get through them?
That makes me actually wonder if a match limit would be a worthwhile feature on some of these. Just a stray shower thought
I agree it was a better model. I've never found it easy to begin a conversation even with someone who has a good profile. I just struggle with the formulation of an opener. Way easier in person IMO, though a good profile makes a conversation continuation much easier.
Yeah, pretty much haha, otherwise its just tinder. I used it briefly a while back and usually the first message would be "." so that I could start the actual conversation. So I supposed it's never been all that different to begin with
Bumble is moving away from having women message first as apparently it was too much of a burden for the women on that app (According to https://www.npr.org/2024/05/06/1249296671/bumble-dating-apps-women-opening-moves )
Understandable as I find having to generate an opener hard too. Kinda a shame though as the point was to give them a place to have some more control with the interactions.
They took away lunch breaks 4 years ago for me :(
I recognized that scene immediately but didn't know it was called the "cosmic bit flip"
I still feel like there's a constant brain fog. It never seems to go away. Been there a looong time
Recently myself and two friends were at a restaurant, I bought one a Shirley temple against his will because my other friend and I were having them. This spiraled into us all ordering the same meal in the same way and for whatever reason we just could not stop laughing when the food was brought out and they asked "who had the (dish)", three separate times.
So I totally agree, non-funny things can absolutely be a ROFL given a certain mood
Loneliness level?
You know when your mother or SO will adjust some clothing, or put a blanket on you or something equivalent and it doesn't sit perfect but you don't want to change it because that oddity is what tells you they did it and that feels better than having it be comfortable?
Yeah that, when a nurse applied a bandage to my hand. 🫠
I recently had a moment of panic at work, a person from a different area was in the break room and was the spitting image of my ex. Albeit, a bit taller.
Zero tolerance for snitches punches kid
Obligatory /J
I can see how it'd be less money for the app and better for the User, so definitely not gonna happen lmao. IIRC choice fatigue grows wildly with anything beyond a few options so, yeah, being bombarded like that suuuuucks.
