      Why are you expecting conversations to be otherworldly?

      How many conversations in real life with people you like start with something akin to “hey”? I’m gunna bet most but I suppose I could be wrong.

        There is a whole universe of possibilities between “hey” and a conversation so good it is otherworldly.

        Most of these apps, the user has a profile. If they’re not fucking it up, the profile has topics to talk about.

        “Hey! Your profile says you love the mets. Do you go to a lot of games? I used to go with my pop, but he just watches the game on TV now” isn’t stellar but it’s significantly better.

        If the other person responds with “Nah [end of communication]” then they’re doing a bad job. I’d see that all the time and it drove me crazy.

        From what I saw, it wasn’t just “hey”. Hey was the yellow flag.

        It was all the one word responses. To everything. It was the job of the guy to be entertaining on the app to barely any response.

        That takes its toll on men, especially when there were women who used it as a source of free entertainment.

        I would expect something else then one word if you select the Dating platform where the big difference is that you have to write first as a women. It seems odd to me.

        But probably tinder or the other dating platforms are just (as) shitty and it didn’t have any deeper thought about joining bumble.
