Copy pasting the first part of this so lazy girlies don't have to experience the stress of !clinklickers
As the sheen on dating apps dulls, more Americans are reporting bad experiences on them. Frustrated by bots, subscription costs and high effort-to-reward ratios, Gen Z is fleeing the apps in hope of real-life meet-cutes. Earlier this year, “Bustle” declared that dating apps are in their “flop era.”
Not all of the apps are taking this backlash without a fight. On Tuesday, after months of internal shake-ups and stock market woes, Bumble took a shot at winning back hearts and minds with a redesign, which includes a break with the app's requirement that women make the first move.
A new feature, which the company has called “Opening Moves,” allows women to place on their profiles a question, like “What is your dream vacation?,” to which men who match can respond. (In nonbinary and same-gender matches, both sides can include these prompts.)
The shift is a major one for Bumble. Until now, a man who matched with a woman on the app had to wait for her to message him. If she did not initiate a conversation, the match would expire after 24 hours.
Whitney Wolfe Herd founded Bumble in 2014 because of her own personal experiences. She said that the idea was to give women more control. “I had a series of bad relationships, and I felt I was controlled by a man,” she added, “whether it was: Don't wear this or, You can't hang out with this person or, You need to be home at this time.”
But over the years, Bumble received feedback from women who found that making the first move was “a lot of work” or “a burden,” and Ms. Wolfe Herd began thinking about how to release the pressure. Opening Moves, she said, is a result of that process, a way to let women maintain control while not feeling the stress of initiating all of the conversations.
But not copying the whole thing because The Gray Lady be a notoriously litigious b-word.

I've set my dating intentions to "shitposting" and "farming sneed", and I need a scrote who believes in the cause of mayocide wholeheartedly.

Algo doesn't matter for women. My single female friends get the message "we have no one else to show you" because they fricking skip 99% of men in half a second
And my dumbass has to listen to them complain about how single they are
And we live in Houston, the 4th biggest city in the country. Imagine skipping through that many guys and thinking you're not the problem

It's funny listen to my wife's friends complain about being single. The biggest cope is, "Men don't want an educated/successful woman." My wife just sits and nods along despite being more educated and successful than the majority of them.

im going to assume they make you choose from a list of "pre approved" causes because we live in hightech woke heck. Hinge has a new feature where you can list no no words that if it pops in a profile they won't show the profile to you. I fricking love living in current year.

I wish. But I think I'm too hairy to appeal to those guys.
Unironically does it make me a 'pick-me' gay to want a bi dude? They're usually more chill and their relatively larger proximity from the mainstream queer community means my hobbies tend to vibe more with theirs on average.

The "machine learning" is to find out who is compatible and ensure they never meet with the hopes that they'll pay for microtransactions out of frustration.
