    She clearly doesn’t know how to talk to men either.

    If all you text is “hey” to a woman as a first message, you can be sure 99.9% percent of them won’t even respond.

    At least he tried and gave her a compliment.

        The Algorithm used to match people isn’t designed to encourage healthy and normal conversations. It’s designed to encourage people to spend more time on the apps (and, eventually, more money).

      I used to think this. Then I went on some dates, I made connections, etc.

      But only once I started paying. The apps are built to maximize profit.

      Hinge > Boo > Tinder > Bumble.

        This is exactly how it works - I became single after 13 years and so had no previous experience with dating apps, so I decided to go all in and get one month’s subscription to Hinge, Bumble and Grindr. Before the end of the month I was concurrently dating five people (four women and one man) as a bi man in his thirties. Shit was pretty cash.

        A lot of people asked me why I was so successful and I told them it’s because I paid for the subscriptions. For what ended up amounting to around $100AUD I got to date a bunch of people, had some great dates and great sex, and one of those five people is now my long term partner with whom I’m living. She was one of the ‘top recommended’ people on Hinge and the algorithm really got it right!

        YMMV but paying for the apps actually provides quite a good service.
