Bumble is the shit!

[Guest]

The onus is on the man to do his "monkey dance."

Yeah, except kinda opposite imo. Her laziness is a way of handing guys enough rope to hang themselves. (Do the dance. Try to impress/funny/talk too much/needy hints & begs..) Remember.... 4 in 5 males are AFC, so not really competition. Let them dance!

Laaaaazy flirting FTW!

Tried using it when I lived in Alberta - the only matches I got were bots from the States.

i never got a bot from bumble ever

Guys so just as tinder has a desktop app.... Bumble has one as well.

[Logic&Reason]

Logged in after a couple years. Tinder has a "top choice" section now. They show you a handful of the top choice girls and you get to swipe one. The rest of the desirable girls are then grayed out and won't appear in your normal swipes. The girls left to swipe are all the ugs.

So you get 1, yes 1, swipe on an attractive girl per day now. Not a guaranteed match or anything. . . 1 swipe. Or else pay them money and you can swipe on more of the desirable girls. They essentially have the algorithmically hot girls as free models they're using to take desperate guys' money. Brilliant business model, terrible for guys wanting to get laid.

dude you need to get out of that way of thinking, i know is not popular online and i know is supposedly "not game" but you guys are going to become ibm/atari and yes you have to pay not the gold but the one in between, most dudes are combining night game with online (as i said about 2 years ago)

i tried instagram and to be honest is another waste of time to get your profile as popular as the top ig people

[Logic&Reason]

What line of thinking? I reported a fundamental change to how Tinder works that makes matching with attractive girls more difficult, objectively, unless you spend money.

They've literally segregated the 8+ from the 7- in two different sections of the app. To swipe more than one 8+ a day, it costs money. Which, I'm guessing, means its easier to get those girls for those who do spend money.

Which is a good business design with the right hooks and rewards, from a "why did they do it" perspective. But the free side of it is almost worthless now, by design on their part. Unless you're good with 7-.

This isn't a mindset, its a simple observation and report.

I've never paid for tinder.
A friend of mine did.

I'm tall and muscular.
He's tall but soft, has a belly and is not that good looking.

I match with 7s and the occasional 8 after a long time swiping.
He matches with 8s and 9s with ease on the same day.

It is a business after all, so yes, they are forcing you to pay to get the best matches.
Same with OkCupid.

I say adapt.
If you wanna take the online route, just put the damn bill on your budget and pay for their shit so you can save a lot of time and frustration.

yes but don't pay for the highest price.... Pay for the middle price, the highest for what i have heard is bad...

My point of bumping is just to let guys know that all the apps are now available for desktop computers.... tinder, bumble now you do not need to jump hoops and do the extra stuff to have it available desktop

[Logic&Reason]

Yeah, those results are in line with the new way they've set up the app.

I agree, the conclusion here is to go ahead and pay the money if you want to take the Tinder route. They don't let you swipe attractive girls otherwise. And from the attractive girl side, their only options are that 10% (or whatever percentage of guys pay.). So their selection ability is lowered considerably (hence your chubby friend lands them, which NEVER would have happened before). No more 93/7. You can spend your way past it.

As a rule, I personally won't pay for a dating site, ever. But if that's your preference, that's the way to go, currently. It'll be different in another year or two.

Yes, like:
- create a new account,
- get their discounts,
- do a 29day blitz,
- cancel before you're charged the full price,
- delete that account,
- start a new account...rinse and repeat.

What is the advantage of the desktop versions of these dating apps, versus the mobile versions?

i personally like to text from a computer vs a phone, and i am very good at framing things via text, so for me that i engage in longer texting and since i can type is ideal...Also, as you are working in your profession makes it easier...... seducing while working and getting paid :-)
