    As a guy, I would happily use an app where I wasn’t expected to message first, but I don’t know of any that exist. Even Bumble moved away from the “women message first” model for whatever reason.

    Just can’t seem to get away from those traditional gender roles, can we?

      I saw plenty of women on Bumble, when the women had to message first, that had “I don’t message first” in their bio. I gave up on the apps. They are the worst thing on the planet for your self esteem and mental health.

      I can’t do these apps anynore. I just go about my life and talk to real people. Sometimes I make friends, sometimes I can get a date. I just can’t think about it anymore.
