Didn’t they recently also remove their requirement for women to start conversations? (Not like it did much since it was always just “hey”). They’re just a yellow tinder at this point.

Yeah, women complained that it was too much work. Bumble’s app redesign lets women automate conversation starters

That’s quite the double standard. Men are mocked for sending out copy-pasted answers to their matches and being unoriginal, but women on Bumble are “exhausted” by making the first move and even get a feature to automate it.
Thanks for the link.
