Free, unsolicited advice to men using a dating app by a woman frustrated with bumble to the point of deletion in less than 24 hours:
- fill out your bio and questions. You don’t want someone to judge you on looks? Give people more to base their choice on than looks!
- ESPECIALLY with Bumble where the woman is always the first to m- don’t say “want to know something, ask” and nothing else. It’s already hard for me to generate conversations out of a short profile. If you give me nothing else to talk about, don’t expect anything more than a frustrating cycle of “hey, how are you today?”

-don’t try to turn every conversation to something physical. You might think it’s super charming to talk about wanting to cuddle some girl within two messages of meeting her, but it actually screams “I’m a guy that’s going to instantly pressure you physically” and it ends the conversation every time.
-likewise, if I just asked you a thoughtful question or gave a thoughtful response.. don’t turn the conversation to “wow, you’re really pretty.” It’s not genuine and it’s not helping us get to know each other at all.
Gosh, there’s so many more I might have to make a full video or something about it. You always forget how worthless online dating is until you dip your toe in again to find such laziness and insincerity.
I hear that profile photos holding a fish they've caught is apparently common too haha.
I think you are right about that. I think most normal guys are not snapping selfies all the time or posing for pictures. Personally, I like the fish pics, haha. It is something that actually gets my attention. That and pictures with a dogI've read that too. I think it's because for many guys that's one of the few occasions that someone takes a picture of them, so that's what they end up using.

I gave up dating sites a couple years ago. You message 1000 girls & are lucky to get one reply that's only one word. Then she doesn't send a 2nd message. Waste of time & depressing. Unfortunately seems to be the new way to get dates but it doesn't work for a lot of guys like myself.
A lot of girls dont' even write anything in their bio so it's like talking to a blank wall.

The one I hear people complaining about most is the shameless dog or cat pictures. Like: "look at me, I have a dog, they're cute, and I'm sensitive!" XDI hear that profile photos holding a fish they've caught is apparently common too haha.
I'd be down.Was just thinking.. I wonder if we could have a gathering sometime as a group? We could set up a zoom call, enjoy a long distance dinner together, maybe play some jackbox games together. Would be cool to have a virtual hangout with some people we’ve talked to for so long but never met.
I like that idea. Time differences might make it tricky for me, but they don't completely rule it out.Was just thinking.. I wonder if we could have a gathering sometime as a group?
