Blootoon87 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I signed up to Bumble a couple of weeks back. I hate that we have to message first, I never know what to say and come out with piss weak “how are you?” type stuff. I’m not sure I’m cut out for this dating site lark.I assumed women wouldn't need to make much effort with their messages and that men would respond to literally anything? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Saints Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 As men, what we have to bear in mind is the fact that women (even unattractive ones) are receiving countless messages. I’ve seen evidence of this, courtesy of female friends and co-workers. Whilst a ‘How are you?’ is perfectly sufficient for us, we are probably talking to a maximum of 3-4 women at any given time. But they simply don’t have the time to respond to all of their received messages, hence the need for us to open the conversation with something a bit more interesting. ETA: I sound like one of these ‘online dating tutorial’ people. If anyone would like any further titbits, feel free to PM me and I will provide you with further insights for a small monthly subscription fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I've successfully responded in a slow and uninteresting enough way to grind the conversation to a half without being overtly rude. Not trying to pretend to be some big baller but Bumble's quite good just now likes. God bless the Rona. 13 hours ago, Jambomo said: I signed up to Bumble a couple of weeks back.

Another vote on just keeping it simple. Nothing wrong with a how are you, how was your weekend etc. Maybe something from their bio/pictures if it's likely to lead to some decent conversation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Bumble is very 2017. Hinge probably the best in recent times baby. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded it, couldn't be arsed filling out the shite they were asking in the profile bit and deleted the app straight away. That's almost certainly an indicator of bigger issues in life but f**k it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart87 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I met my partner on Tinder in 2015. We’re now expecting our 2nd child in a months time. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 I also met my missus on tinder. I opened up our conversation with “hello *insert name*, what a glorious day it is today” (it was v sunny outside that day.) We didn’t meet face to face on a date however, instead we both happened to be going to the Radio 1 big weekend in Perth to see Noel Gallagher - so we met up at that and we ended up heading into the crowd with my mates and my dad. I got absolutely shit faced and started smoking ciggies in front of my old man, who had never seen the likes from me (I’m not a smoker). Then I needed a pish but didn’t want to leave everyone, so I got my tinder match who I had just met 20 mins ago to hold a cup while I got my shlong out and pissed in said cup. My dad was standing next to me the whole time, shaking his head in disbelief/possibly shame.Some day that was. For some reason this lassie saw something in me and the following day we went for a hungover jaunt into #perthshire countryside on what was yet another scorching summers day. A little over 2 years later we are still together. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got steaming on a school night and ended up going back to my absolute shit tip of a flat with boxes everywhere as I was moving house the following week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
