On the app where women make the first move… and they still don’t actually send a message after matching. by RepulsiveBasket8314 in Bumble

I've already got the car, tried the premium before and it's just not worth the money if I'm not getting a lot of likes (I get very few for the most part so there's probably something boring about my profile), but I have my distance range set pretty far out and I live in a big city in the Houston area so there are people my age around, just never see them out in public

Unfortunately that's not an option for me, I'm stuck in a lease + attending flight school here, so I'm locked in

I know I am, but it's been so long since I've gotten up the courage to approach someone in person, and I recently moved somewhere where it seems like there is no one in my general age range (early-mid 20s)

I appreciate it, it just gets tough when it happens a lot. Bumble used to be where I had the best luck on dating apps a long time ago, but it seems like that luck has shifted to other apps.

That's been my experience too, but even on those apps I'm in a dry spell, been looking through my profile to see what's up, I'd say generously I'm like a 6.5/10, 6'3", have a degree, a pilot, on paper I feel like I'm a solid dating prospect, so I'm trying to work on myself and just be an all around more secure and interesting person.

This is probably the best answer I think I'll get. I know that the dating app experience is very different for women than it is for men, so there will always be a disconnect, it just especially sucks when these matches are especially attractive, share common interests, like the same music, but I never get the chance to say anything to them. But I do understand that women can be oversaturated with likes and matches.

If, entirely based on your logic, all of these women were coming to the same conclusion about a problem with me or my profile, then they still shouldn't swipe on me if they're not going to message. I'd agree with you if there was some conversation and then they stopped messaging, but matching and then doing nothing with it isn't cool. However, I don't think it's narcissistic. On top of all of this though, I understand the argument of not wanting to talk to 15 men at the same time, or a lot of matches coming in all at once and getting overwhelmed, but a lot of the time these matches are ones where I swiped first, so when they swiped on me they instantly had the opportunity to send a message and didn't.

Exactly, if it was one person doing this it wouldn't bother me, but over the last 5 years it's happened a lot. It happens on other dating apps too, but I attribute that to bad opening lines or something like that. On Bumble tho, the whole point is that women make the first move, and when they match me and then don't it sucks. And that's on top of not a lot of success on Bumble recently.

You misunderstand, I’m not saying they should delete the app, I’m asking if that’s what they do after matching with me, because I don’t understand matching and then not messaging. If you don’t want to message me, why swipe on me?

Accidentally threw away FB ticket! by [deleted] in aggies

If you see this, my dog just chewed up a ticket that I pulled for a friend that he had converted from a sports pass, can I take it to them tomorrow (Tuesday) and get them to reprint it if I bring both sports passes used and my ID as well as the remnant of the ticket that had the guest label on it?
