So okcupid became Tinder, and now Tinder is becoming Bumble.

So glad I am permanently away from the nonsense that is online dating: as if women in general on those sites didn't already have a ridiculously inflated ego. It's hard to believe it has gotten that much worse in the three years since I found my permanent match.

Willing to bet most of their paid members are men, how will making it so paid members won’t be able to message anyone make people pay them. I bet it’ll actually cause men to drop their paid memberships. We want you to pay us but we going take away what you’d be paying for. Let’s be honest it’s mostly desperate men who pay dating sites not women or men who get lots of matches. I’m their key target market.

But of course...of course!! Do you really believe that females really need to pay to get dates from dating sites? Don't be naive.

The majority of user (80%) on dating sites are males.


I've noticed recently that I am getting far less matches lately, and this is why, look at the golden 10+ thing:

You see? Tinder is hiding a portion of matches on purpose in order to lure me to pay - that will never work on a female because a female gets dozens of matches everyday anyway, so a few hidden matches for her won't be much of a loss, even if she can see only 20% of her daily 30-50 matches, it is still a lot.


Dating app owners are getting dirtier, as*holes.

Oh, do you want to see a real example of a disgustingly inflated ego?

Bitchy inflated ego is epidemic there btw. It's almost the norm.

How to they plan to keep making money by pushing away their customers with systems that make it harder for men to find matches and not allowing men to message women.
I think they’ve got into sjw feminism and hopefully they’re go out of business.
I have no use for OkCupid anymore. I never get matches. And supposedly I have liked but I’d have to pay to see them and even then I couldn’t message them, so why should I pay them $30 a month to no be able to message women?
Why would I pay tinder or bumble or match etc. I’d be better off finding and paying a professional match maker. It going to bars every night.

Unless they offer a money back guarantee I won’t pay a dating site anymore. They just scam sites now. Dating sites should never pander to women anymore then porn sites would. It’s be like a women’s fashion or makeup magazine hearing towards men how many men subscribe to such mags? It’s be business suicide. Which is exactly what dating sites are doing. Bumble doesn’t even work.

I fail to understand why would any woman want to choose this freely. Or does this mean they're able to block men from messaging them? Hm, makes it easier to gather likes without unnecessary interruptions I guess.

I wonder what it is like to have so many matches. I don't get many probably because I look like a troubled destitute vagabond.

I know you hate this so much, but I am going to reiterate that not all females get 30-50 matches per day.... :lol:

I personally know no female who never complained about the tons of messages they receive on dating apps; hence why they like tinder.

You are probably way less attractive looking than the average female, that’s the only explanation.

Then what else? Even Okcupid on their official blog have admitted that women receive tons of messages, hence why they are remodeling the communication way.

Quote:
We’ve also spoken to dozens of women about their experiences on OkCupid, and have heard the same sentiment over and over again: OkCupid can be overwhelming when you’re receiving tons of messages, even when the majority of them are well-meaning or fine enough — but not from the people you’re really looking for.


Source: Okcupid.


So Sweetleaf either has something too extremely unattractive, or she is lying, or lives in a desert.

Even obese women get tons of matches on tinder:

Sweetleaf's experience doesn't even make sense and isn't even believable honestly.

What’s Bumble?

I gave up on dating sites years ago.

It’s the same as tinder but only women can message first men can’t message until the woman does. I’ve had a match or two never any messages. Most women don’t initiate. It’s an attempt to social engineer women to initiate I guess.

I like to imagine them sitting at home fuming because nobody's talking to them. Sure they COULD initiate conversation but that's the MAN'S job and they'll go to hell before they break that one sacred rule!
