    Witty comeback. I’m just trying to point out that just like it’d be dumb for me to say I’m losing faith in males because I read some article titled “Most Brotastic Frat Boy Bumble Profiles”, it’s dumb for someone to say their losing faith in females based on article clearly posted to mock “basic bitches”.

    Are you allowed to use privacy screens? When I worked in consulting, they let us have privacy screens on our laptops to protect our client’s information. I would highly suggest investing in one. It’s a complete game changer. You can do whatever you want on your computer and no one can see what you’re doing.

    Yeah I definitely realize it’s limiting and I get your point. I think what I’m trying to say is when a guy gets a match whether it be on Tinder, Hinge, or Bumble it’s highly likely that the girl is interested. When a girl gets a match on Bumble, it doesn’t necessarily mean the guy is interested. So, it creates a strange dynamic. I was just trying to point out that a lot of reason girls don’t reach out is because the likelihood the guy is actually interested is fairly low because of the methodology guys use to swipe.

    For what it’s worth, I actually reach out to guys a fair amount on all of the apps I use and have my profile filled out (no Marilyn Monroe quotes just a Chappelle’s Show quote). I just think for whatever reason guy’s profiles on Bumbles tend to be blank more often than on Hinge or Tinder.

    What I’m saying is that even if you match, the likelihood the guy is actually interested is still low because they swipe right on everyone. That’s why I wait until a guy extends the line because that means he’s actually interested.

    Another thing is that the majority of guy’s profiles are empty. So, there’s really not a lot of info to write a message off of.

    I’m a girl on Bumble. When I first got Bumble, I actually messaged all of my matches. I wrote tailored messages tailored to something in their profile or if the profile was blank, I’d try to say something either than hi. But, I got almost no responses. When I asked my guy friends why, they said they mostly swipe right to every girl and then decide who to respond to. So, now I only message if a guy extends the line. If guys didn’t swipe right on every girl, maybe girls would message more.
