(1) - It's generally not the woman's "job" to initiate. It goes against social (and possibly ingrained biological) roles. I know this app is suppose to flip the script on that, but nature always finds a way I suppose. So her sending a "." is kind of her way of saying "okay bud, show me what you got. let's see if you can impress me"
And sure, you might think to yourself "fuck that, I'm not playing this stupid game. Grow up." But the thing is this: there's a big line up of guys waiting to entertain her, to have their "chance" to prove to her how entertaining and worthwhile he is.

(2) - This ties in a little bit to what I was saying earlier but: she acts this way because she can. We all know how much the sexual market is skewed in their favour these days, especially with online dating.

Absolutely hilarious though, there really is nothing less investing then sending "."

Lol, so you telling me you'd buckle up your court jester boots, straiten your jingle hat and get to entertaining a bish like that??
I understand your point, but if there are plenty of other attention whoring platforms for her to get that. Bumble is not one of them.

My profile says something like this: "Ladies, respectfully, if you contact me, please have some decent convo skills, it's not my job to interview you."

If a bish just gives responses to my questions and doesn't engage further, I don't bother messaging back. Am I probably leaving poosy on the table, yea, but I HATE it when interacting with bishes feels like work.
Ironically, my job actually involves eliciting information from reluctant witnesses, lol

Back when I didn't know any better, that's exactly what I would do. And I'd play right into their hands every time and be left sexless.
That being said, I'm at the point now where I can see something like this and genuinely laugh. It's a (darkly) hilarious portrayal of the entire situation with our sexual market place these days.

Yea man, the dating game is definitely in a phucked up place right now. I've been writing a book about all my experiences. I sincerely hope the tide turns on bishes and the subsidized SMW they're getting via the Internet.

Me and my homie were talking about this saturday night.
online dating has the game wayyyyyyyy fucked. Average girls that have the attitude that they are dimes and fat girls will identify as curvy or "thick" and behave like their body type is "in". Their egos are warped way out of proportion and its all created a tsunami girls that have hot chick syndrome

Forreal, forreal! Honestly though, simp ass doods are really the blame. How many times have you seen some wildebeest looking bish post a pic on IG or FB and simp-ass-cats say something like "looking good queen." Can't wait for this bubble to bust like the housing market, lol.

Post: #181

Keep in mind, that the bubble sort of is already internally bursting. Having hordes of beta dudes grovelling at their feet soon bores women. They start only craving and going after the top 10-20% alphas with reckless abandon. All else is useless or invisible.
We must strive to be that top 10%, not complain and moan about the current state of affairs.

That girl who just texted '.' I'd completely ignore for reasons I'll explain below.

Guys I've talked to and observed waste way too much time on girls who are just fucking around online. I've had a lot of success by rejecting the majority of girls I converse with.

My system is simple. I make my profile and pics as strong as possible, then I only pursue girls who ask questions back and/or write LONG messages.
That's it. On apps where either person can initially message, the girls who message you first are also good candidates (as long as they are cute.) I next all the others.

Can you get the rest? Sure, but I'd rather go for girls who are showing some sort of investment plus it'll take a lot more work to get the numb ones.

If she's responding with one word answers or just answers and is not asking about you she's not serious.

I ask guys to test this and not just take my word on it. See how many meetups and bangs you get from the girls who ask a lot of questions and write blocks of text vs. the ones who don't.

Post: #183

^To add to that, a good way of gauging investment is always making a girl add you in her phone when transitioning to whatsapp. Most will message back with their number telling you to add them instead, the chapiadoras will try to avoid whatsapp and get you on their instagram. If a girl isn't interested enough to take 1 minute to punch your numbers in her phone she is a waste of time. Maybe it's stupid but I see it like an online version of the unlock the door test from A Bronx Tale and it is a good way to gain frame control right away.

Spot on.

Screen for engagement, playfulness, sense of humor. If she can't text playfully, what are the odds she's playful in the sack?

Girls that are feeling you will make it easy for you. I'm 2/2 on my Tinder/Bumble dates. Opened probably 30/120 matches (newb, overmatched), asked 2 out, had 2 D1s, one D2 lay, still working on the other.

Went back through the convos and sure enough, the two that I closed ENGAGED in the conversation, were playful, and gave me something to work with. I don't fuck around with texting for days and asked them out and moved to text within 10 messages. No problem. No flakes.

Two more were down to meetup, but the logistics were off. They also engaged.

Women go on Tinder because they either A) Need Dick, or B) Need Attention. (Guys too, btw.) If they need dick, they will engage.

It's only getting worse. I decided to give Bumble a try last week after cancelling OKC and Tinder.

I have met up with 2 girls already (haven't closed with either one yet though). And I have talked to a few over the phone. I was talking to one the other night (35 years old, 2 kids) who is about a 6. Her ex-husband was a drunk and had cheated on her blah, blah, blah. She was a total ditz and she was bragging about the guys she was blowing off and then she told me about a guy who seemed really nice but he was only 5'6 and she ghosted him. We hadn't discussed height at this point yet so I knew the issue was coming up. I asked her how tall she was and she said 5'7. She then asked me how tall I was and I told her 5'9. The whole conversation flipped and was awkward from then on. I could almost sense the disappointment in her voice. I knew at that point I wasn't going to contact her again and I am pretty sure she was going to try and ghost me. You can't ghost me if I ghost you too, bitch.

35. Two kids. A 6 AT BEST. I do admit she looked like she had a nice body (from her pics at least...no tits though). But she is post-Wall and has no right to be picky anymore. That ship sailed 10 years ago for her.

I'm seriously going to start asking these girls how much they weigh when they ask me my height.

Just another example of why online game should be used as another weapon in your arsenal and NOT be your ONLY weapon. I would even argue your chances are almost better with day/night game than online game. It's just so fucking warped.

So let me report back my results with bumble over the past quarter year or so. Let me preface this by saying that for much of this period I gave up on tinder and bumble and didn't swipe much or make an effort to meet up.

Let me also give you an idea of my results with tinder so you know where I'm coming from. On tinder, which I've had for a bit over a year, I usually match with an average of 1.5 girls a day if I swipe moderately. When I hit tinder hard I match with probably 2.5 a day. When I give up on tinder I match with very little. My tinder only has one single pic, and I look darker than I am (I'm light skinned and light eyed by Middle Eastern standards). In person most people guess I'm Lebanese, Turkish, Greek, or Italian, none of which is my correct background. On tinder a large portion of girls guess that I'm Pakistani or Arab, neither of which I am. My profile is very brief, and aside from my height and a couple of things I mention that I'm learning Spanish.

My Bumble account has the same single pic and profile as tinder. In the time since I've had it (3-4 months), I've matched with probably 20-30 girls. Many of them don't get past the first few exchanges. Some of them I've had long conversations with and gotten their number, but for a variety of reasons (lack of interest in online dating, lack of interest in the girls I match, and horniness that causes me to say inappropriate shit) I blow myself out.

I've been on a single date with a black chick through Bumble. The date went well and we planned on another one, but she kept flaking. I texted her like a month later and she seemed down to meet again, but by that point I just stopped caring and didn't pursue it. She was a 6 at best.

Comparing that to tinder, which I've had for over a year, Bumble isn't very productive for me (although neither is tinder). Through tinder I've gotten two SNLs one of which was just straight up meet me at the hotel, I've chosen to meet with about 7 other girls that at best let me feel them up, and I've probably matched with 200-400 girls excluding when I spoof the location to SEA.

The problem is definitely my pic and profile, but my ultimate conclusion is that tinder and bumble should mainly be a supplement for guys with any game and time to go out to day or night game.

Bumble is mostly spam, the hot girls talk to you, then postpone the date, then disappear...they are people from India paid by Bumble so that their app will be worth billions soon, and the sad thing is that these scammers are succeeding with their fraudulent marketing scheme...Get off your ass and pick up chicks in the real word!!!

Post: #189

Last time I used Bumble several months ago one woman opened me with.
"So Mig, tell me about yourself"

It was a total cop out, dripping with entitlement and attitude. From the outset she expected me to entertain her (fuck that) like a clown.
She was also 38 which is far older than what I'm looking for and was only possible because when you set it up initially the age range is set rather wide.

I've swung round to the opinion that online dating is a waste of your time. The amount of work required seems to outweigh the result.
Having just read posts from the last page. Maybe I will experiment with screening harder if I re-engage it.

Post: #190

I agree online dating is mostly BS. Focus on RL gaming but keep your traps laid and set and wait for the right catch.
I can tell right from the opening message whether she's ripe. Usually they'll have something substantive and whitty to say.
I banged a 33 y.o. married mother of three (says she was in an open marriage) recently on the same day with no strings attached.

I don't really agree with this. Yes there are bots but I generally find it on the rare side(for me at least).

I don't know where you live or how effective your profile is but I just got 6 dates within the last 1.5 weeks. For some reason the busy activity seems to switch back and forth between the apps. The last 2 weeks have been very active for me at least on Bumble.

But I do agree that real life pickup is a lot better than online.

Bumble is going all SJW::

(I didn't even read this I just saw all kinds of buzz words and copied and pasted it here)


Hate speech, racism, and bigotry are intolerable realities that we must all come together to take action against. Bumble is a community of kindness and empowerment. This type of behavior goes against our mission as a company and is never welcome on our platform.

We have always had a zero tolerance policy against misogynist, abusive, and inappropriate behavior. While we support freedom of speech, we don’t support abusing that freedom to harm, bully, or attack people online. We’ve historically taken a strong stance on neo-Nazi symbols like swastikas; now we’re working with the Anti-Defamation League and its Center on Technology and Society for guidance on identifying all hate symbols, using their research and terminology as our standards.

We want to keep Bumble hate-free, but we can’t do it without the support of our users. We’re calling on our community to ban hateful speech and activities on our platforms. If you experience these conversations or see hate symbols in a user’s profile, please use the “block and report” feature in app so our moderation team can ban the user.

Our team at Bumble has recently been the victim of cyber hate, stemming from groups with white supremacist affiliations. Last week, a neo-Nazi media site published an article to their community urging them to call and email our team with harassing statements, given Bumble’s stance towards promoting women’s empowerment.

We won’t stand for being bullied, and we will always make every effort to protect our incredible users from cyber bullies. This isn’t going to happen overnight - it will be an ongoing effort, one that will require our community’s help.

Together, we can protect our platform from hate.

I wonder how long until any male reply to a female containing the trigger words: Fuck, Suck, Dick, Bitch, Balls, Cum-on-your face, Slut, etc. are considered words of a rapist and are ban worthy? 90% of my online replies contain AT LEAST one of those words so I'll be fucked.

Post: #198

Slightly OT, but how are you guys dealing with chicks who just respond to your questions and don't really engage in a conversation?
I usually just stop talking to them but sometimes I feel like I'm missing opportunities. However, I absolutely loathe feeling like I'm doing all the work and interviewing bishes.

Post: #199

@Dimebait

Starting hitting them with cold reads like "You seem like the type to..."

These broads get hit with questions all day but when you can cold read them with general shit, a tease with or a dash of sexual suggestion sometimes that's enough to bring them alive

Never ceases to amaze me how many respond to a general read opener or email and that can transition you to kick your seduction shit because now she thinks you "get" her being the special snowflake that she is LOL
