I gave in to using Bumble for the 2nd time.
My strategy this time is not to pay for 1 mth/6 mth/ x amount of months.
Since I don't get much action, I just wait for people who 'liked' me (just a handful so far) to pop up. Then pay a measly $5/day premium to see who liked me. Kind of like a pay as you go thing.

This way , I only pay for when someone shows interest. And don't pay $40/month for no/limited interaction.


Things i have noticed:
-Bumble is a hive (pun intended) of liberals, atheists, and agnostics. Not my personal cup of tea.
-many women like food. A lot. To the point they think it's an important part of their bio. (I like food...Just need to be fed... I like trying new foods, etc.)
-many women think travelling to multiple countries is a hobby/skill/worth credit. Sorry. it is not a skill to travel. I like travel as much as the next person ( who doesn't???). I just see excessive travelling on a bio as a pain to my wallet.
- there seems to be recycled bio points. such as:
- need someone to kill spiders for me

-nothing serious, just looking for future husband/lifelong lover/other way of expressing serious commitment

- "stealing sweaters" is a 'cute' thing, it sounds like?

- "dog mom looking for a dog daddy" or something to that effect




-Blank bios for usually the most attractive people, as they see no point in expending the effort in typing something out if there is already mass attention from mere pictures


- lots more Muslims and Sikhs and Hindis, compared to approx 3 yrs ago (not a good/bad thing. Just an observation. Actually tbh, they are often the more attractive ones, in my eye. The benefits of traditional culture?)


- more trans women

-women put way too many pics with whole groups of people. How am I supposed to tell who you are? May be an attempt to signal social prowess/ inclusion/ outgoing-ness.
For me, it's just annoying trying to figure out who the bio is actually for.

-Blacks seem to self label as Christian more

- Whites seem to smoke weed more.

-Filipinas/Latinas self identify as Catholics more

- I got a dude just looking for a friend LOL



What trends have you guys noticed with Bumble, or other apps?
If society is burning in relationships, it's at least intriguing/ entertaining to see the patterns.
 
I'm leveraging it as an option to meet a nice person. Because I know my social circles are next to non existent.
I'd like to point out that this should be ideally used in conjunction with going out, living life, meeting people, and not isolating.
Using all options available to me. Just need to ride the fine line of using the tech and not being enslaved to the tech.

Yeah, makes sense. Maybe I should do online dating too but just keep my expectations super low.

Gary Wilson, one of the founders of NoFap was a liberal and a non-religious agnostic. I'm a liberal atheist/agnostic.

In your opinion, is there something wrong in supporting personal freedoms and individual rights (which is what being a liberal means to me)? Or is there something wrong with not necessarily believing in a supernatural deity (that may or may not exist)?

I know religion and politics can be touchy subjects, so I don't mean these questions in an offensive way. Just trying to have a civil and constructive discussion.

Nothing wrong at all with having your own convictions or coming to your own conclusions. The great thing about NoFap is that people of all convictions/faiths/creeds/backgrounds can come together with the same goal of ridding themselves of the stranglehold of porn. It's a beautiful thing:)

I think it's important to note that words have meaning, and meanings occur in context. And in today's context, 'liberal' means something different than personal freedoms and individual rights. That's a whole different discussion.

I am a Christian and I hold to the teachings of Jesus Christ (from which I think you could extrapolate the very idea of 'personal freedoms and individual rights').
For something as important as a life partner, this is central to what I am looking for. Different people are looking for different things, and by all means each can go for what they want in life.

Thanks for the question

Not using any of the dating apps . They have a really bad male to female ratio for bumble its 3:1 this number doesn't take into account that there are a lot bot/scam profiles .
Some of these apps are know to use bots to message their users.

Also using the dating apps is not really conducive to a long-term relationship its more of a quick hookup thing
 
I noticed similar things on Bumble, especially girls talking about traveling a lot - idk why girls think it is so cool to visit other countries, idk why they think like that?

but yea, I’ve made and then deleted bumble about 20-30 times in my life

usually dating apps I don’t get any girl I’m actually attracted to, so I figure the apps are just a waste of time for me. The pretty girls probably literally have 1,000 likes..

I've used dating apps for hundreds of days of my life. I've sent out tens of thousands of likes. I didn't get any matches though cause the ratio of men to women on these apps is like 5 to 1. It seems a lot simpler to get a girl by cold-approaching strangers.

I would say 50% of the profiles I've seen are that. This might have something to do with where I live. Right now I live in a fairly conservative village but the nearest city is quite liberal so I have a mixture of both. I expect to live in quite a liberal place.

I'm agnostic so I'm not bothered by someone being agnostic. Militant atheists, religious fanatics, and women who are far left or far right are people I wouldn't want to date. Having said that sometimes I am tempted to date some women who have political views I strongly disagree with just so I could spend the whole date fighting with them. Other women sound absolutely insane and I want to date them just to see if they are as insane as they sound. Of course, you're in trouble if are actually insane. There are some women who seem extremely annoying and I just want to go on a date to annoy them.

Not my experience. About 2% of women talk about liking food.

About 40% of women I see like to travel. I haven't seen this on Bumble but on other dating apps quite a number list sleeping as a hobby which I found quite weird.

Most bios I see aren't blank. I would also say beauty is in the eye of the beholder so what you find attractive, I may not.

I must say I don't take Bumble seriously. I sometimes use it out of curiosity. Right now I use dating apps for entertainment because women can say the funniest things on them. Although I find women on Bumble to be quite serious and rather boring. If I was serious about dating I would use Jigsaw.
 
Dating apps are seriously a Psyop from the NWO. It’s a tool to promote promiscuity and virtually guarantee women will not be able to pair bond as well gas their ego’s up. It makes women androgynous and totally flip flops their natural sexuality to be like that of Men and changes them for the worse. Show me a gal who’s been on dating apps for a long period of time and I tell you it doesn’t take a rocket science to assess that she’s extremely insufferable and toxic. The dating apps were designed to do this.

Do you think it’s a NWO, or are people just making money off stuff and doing money making ideas?

there’s not much money in solid, stable couples who don’t go partying

also, if each person marries multiple times in their life, that is more money for the wedding companies

My opinion: there is no new world order, it is merely a house of cards, and the real problem is consumerism

have the entire world sit in quiet meditation for a day and not eat much food for a day… the entire world economy would come to a standstill

Let people sit in quiet mediation for a whole week and only eat enough food to survive, the entire world economy would collapse

I am not denying that there are no NWO plans but when it comes to Dating apps u are wrong. This is conformation bias at its worst.
1st Majority of the people on those apps are male.
I don't see how it will affect their ability to pair bond. As long as they are not switching partners every few days they should be fine . What about men changing to many partners affects their pair bonding ability to.
What does being androgynous have to do anything with the dating apps .

And at the end of the day dating apps are meant for quick hookups so I don't know what you are expecting.
It is like going to a P site and being shocked there is p there

I don't know if I have the time or energy to just troll women on dates haha. I don't think it's a good idea to mess with people's emotions (when I don't have to)


Maybe the food thing is just a Toronto thing. It's about 45% of the bios I see.
Travel is about 50-60% on bios.

What kind of insane things do you see on bios?

I think so. I think it is both / and. Both consumerism and NWO.
Consumerism is the method through which the NWO is being shaped.
I don't think there is a group of people sitting behind closed doors plotting on how to mess up people's minds EXPLICITLY. There are people who are
a)looking to make a buck and
b) think they are genuinely helping society

The problem is, WE are the problem. Consumerism/dating app algorithms and the like only have as much power as we the people feed into it. As long as narcissistic men AND women keep getting rewarded for such behaviour, the system keeps chugging along.

Yeah, it's unfair to do that. I wouldn't really do it but there is a part of me that would find it amusing.

Well, one woman started by saying she was high-maintenance and that she had ADHD. She listed giving BJ as a hobby.

There was this one woman who said she didn't want stupid people to talk to her (do stupid people know they're stupid?)

Another said she didn't want to date any men who believe in monkeys and dinosaurs.

I also saw this one woman asking if men have any morals nowadays because she kept getting sent dick pics. She said whenever she's out keeps getting touched by men.
