[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So Bumble is supposed to be a platform to 'empower' women in the dating world. But the geniuses who invented this moronic platform overlooked the simple fact that the vast majority of women hate to be the ones who send messages first to a potential match. So they recently have been trying to come up with ways to avoid women actually having to message first. Most of the time it is now a woman who matches with you and she has her instagram handle in her bio and say something to the effect of..."i don't message first if you want to reach me try instagram".

This obviously defeats the entire purpose of the whole platform! Why should any man sign up and pay for this absurdity of all it amounts to is message womenon insta? Utterly incompetent company managment and the stupidest platform ever invented. If you're going to give women all of the power for selection and communication, then they better communicate and kick it off, otherwise why would any man waste money on this platform? [/quote]

I wrote about Bumble and their failed premise a few months ago.  Women complain about dating sites and the poor quality of responses they get from crude men, but women are also very lazy on dating sites.  Because they can be.  I don't blame them.  The experience for women is 180º the experience for men on any dating site.  They have their pick of 100s of men hitting them up in their first week or so on the site.

Now comes Bumble and their bright idea that women should make the first move, send the first message and it has failed because, they really are spoiled and lazy when it comes to online dating or dating in general.  They don't want to make the first move and they don't want to search profiles for men they may match with or write even a few sentences to a man.  Why bother when they don't even have the time to sort through all the messages in their inbox?

The most I usually got in a message from a women on Bumble was, Hi.  That's it.  They know that's enough to get a response if the guy likes her profile.  So Bumble had to come up with ways to get around this failed business idea by inventing clever ways for a man to actually make the first contact by complimenting a photo.  It's a shame because their app is ahead of the really bad apps out there like, Tinder, or POF which seems like it was developed in the late 90s and hasn't evolved since that time.  They also do a better job than others at keeping out scammers.  As far as a women posting to contact her on Instagram, that's an obvious scam and you need to block all those accounts.  If you can't spot scammers on dating sites, you really don't belong there.  [/quote]From the article:
"But the unintended result of that was that women [b]started to feel burdened[/b] by having to think of what to say, having to always keep the conversation going," Hoffman said.

Awww, it's such a burden to figure out how to write two sentences and actually converse.  This sounds like saying, I'm a women so math is hard to me.  This is the problem that Bumble is struggling to overcome.  As much as women complain, and rightly so about the messages they receive on dating sites, when you put the power in their hands to make the first move, most of them find it too burdensome.
