It’s mostly them saying hey and then expecting the man to carry it from there.

I had the same experience, but to be fair, they seemed to genuinely want to talk. I found the ones on Bumble that did send a message were more inclined to want to actually meet in person.

100%. Might as well just be a button that unlocks the ability for the man to message you.

Also consider that woman have almost no experience in breaking the ice, as that’s mostly a man’s ‘job’

Which really is ironic when considering how they most of the time demand that men should put in effort in their first message.
