My ex was on bumble and she had over 4000+ likes. She was too anxious to even open the app by the time we had met. I deleted it for her.
You can have the greatest profile in the world as a dude, it just dosent matter statistically speaking if you're not perceived as attractive/ have shitty photos.
If you married a smokeshow you met off of bumble, you could have probably had the same or better luck in real life. I'm not saying boo hoo poor boys but at the same time most of the guys desperately hoping for a connection on these apps won't be able to get a date. Guys outnumber women on these apps something like 4 - 1.
The monetization of the apps are no good. I'm not agaisnt online dating but at the same time the status quo is pretty shitty, espcially if you fall into categories of people who are viewed as less desirable on these apps; ie Asian men and Black women.
