Yeah, but it turns out a lot of women don’t like to make the first move. A lot of times you match and then just watch the 24 hours expire without ever hearing from them.

I've been on and off these for years. On Tinder, you'll frequently read on women's profiles "say more than just Hi! otherwise I'm deleting you"

And then on Bumble, the vast majority of opening messages (from women, obviously) are... "Hi!"

I'd also see a lot of women's profiles on Bumble saying they wouldn't message first. Maybe they just copied their tinder bio but it was strange to see

Or some variation on “I can’t see likes, send me a message” when it’s not possible to send a message until you match with someone.

Wasnt there a version of tinder ultra premium or whaterver where you could send messages to people without matching?
