Bumble has removed its gendered messaging rule, allowing any user to send the first message. This change aims to provide more flexibility and reduce pressure, enhancing user experience and connection opportunities.
It’s been years since I was on dating apps but I’m hardly shocked. I got plenty of bumble matches and I’m pretty certain I never exchanged more than 5 messages on the app. The vast majority of women simply never sent a first message or the rare ones that did hit me with “hi” or “hey” which is honestly worse than having me initiate the conversation because I have to awkwardly respond and start a conversation. It’s a fun idea in theory, but reality is a real slap in the face
