It’s really easy to feed into the rage bait here. So I’ll try to be brief.
There’s an app called Hinge, and their whole premise was women are required to message first. The root issue they were trying to solve was that on dating apps, men were 90% of the ones who started a convo, and women would get bombarded with hundreds of messages. So this was to flip the script.
Well, it turns out a vast majority of women (and honestly, men too.) really suck at openers.
So you had a bunch of women going, “Hey” as their opening line to flirt with a potential match. And then we were back at the same problem.
I believe the app you’re referring to is Bumble. Hinge is nice because you can send a message to a potential match that they can see before they swipe on you. It’s how I met my wife!
You’re forgetting Plenty of Fish, Badoo, and Match.com, where all the rejects, toxic people, single parents of four children, and other various degenerates and undesirables go after striking out with everyone on the big three.
Often overlooked, but very relevant.
There’s also the various niche sites like Christian Mingle, Black People Meet, and Farmers Only.
none of those have been relevant for well over a decade .
like, yeah in 2012 they were a thing. just like match.com and okcupid were in the 2000s. the userbases all collapsed once smart phone and social media became dominant.
most folks have moved on from that ancient stuff. even tinder is basically a relic these days.
women love to complain about guys messages, and then on hinge they’ll do shit like “like” a picture of yours as an opening. 🙄 Gee thanks, I guess I’ll just write the first message then.
Also, whenever a woman gives a single word answer, with no elaboration, I always right back “k” and end it. If you don’t know how to hold a conversation, you’re a waste of time.

You’re right! I got my many many many many dating app names confused!
there are like three . hinge bumble and tinder.
that’s it. there are no other culturally relevant ones.
I’d argue Grindr is up there in cultural relevance
the straights are the sad desperate type who can’t pair up anymore.
the gays are doing just fine.

The dreaded ‘Hey’. ‘Hey’ should be illegal
Hay.
