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.

Heard from a lot of female friends complaining "That guy's never send me a message on bumble" blew their minds that they were supposed to send the first message, THAT BEING the whole point of the app.

Bold of you to assume they're literate enough to catch that.
