I recently joined Bumble: dating app like tinder except that if you both swipe to like each other’s profile and ‘match’ the woman has to send the first message.
Well some of the messages that I have received have literally been one word or ‘how are things’ etc, so the same things that women complain about from men messaging on here.
It turns out that it isn’t men who are useless at this, just most humans! |

I managed to put up a new blind a few weeks ago and definitely almost made a girl climax once in 2011. So I concur, we’re not as useless as we’re sometimes portrayed. I blame the media. |

I renovate property for a living and women always complain that their men are useless at DIY.They expect putting up mirrors, blinds or shelves to be part of a males skill set .
Just this week I put up a full length mirror as a favour that was gathering dust for 6 months after her husband failed numerous times to mount it .She was deliriously happy with me and then raged at her husband downstairs for being inadequate .I felt really bad for him as he was paying me . |

I'm surprised that app works. No good for female ego's. |

I receive a message on here from single ladies and couple's every now and then, it's rare it has anything more than a few words, certainly nothing that indicates they've read my profile other than looked at the pretty pictures.
Bumble I'm on the app, gotta say the odd times we match the messages are pretty much the same,
I've said it often the pictures attract me the words create the interest.
Step up your game ladies.   |

I must have struck gold with Mr C then. He cooks, cleans, good at DIY, fab at ironing (military did that to him) and more importantly is a amazing dad.
He's available for hire on a hourly basis  |

I agree with the dating apps and the expectations from some women's profile, they expect you to write poetry in you're message. But i get a message from them, its hi, how are you or emoji.
I understand it can be difficult to send the right message, if you like the person and i personally have no problem with that. But i don't like double standards. |

I'm trying to think if I've seen you on there ...it's an age thing my memory isn't as good as it was.  |

I find with Bumble a lot of men don't write anything or it's just a few word's so it can be hard to write a personalised message maybe. It's no excuse I know. |

"I’m rubbish at first messages which is part of the reason I don’t message  it’s definitely not just men. "
I love the 'be original' line in messages. A conversation should begin with a hello. It's just as hard to tailor a message to a profile where the author of the profile doesn't even know what they have written. It is a fab lottery for a rollover ! |

"Question is it frustrating in there to not be able to message first especially if you see someone you like the look of."
I don’t find it frustrating, at least you know that the person actually wants to chat with you and you aren’t imposing on them. |

Ok, correction, it is slightly frustrating if you have matched with someone and they don’t message at all. Even just to say that they aren’t looking to meet at the moment or something would be better than nothing, just in terms of general courtesy. |

I might not be as proactive as some guys I only open the app when I get the notification someone has swiped right,..I feel it gives me the choice of yeyh or ney.. if we match I close the app and wait for the notification message arrived if not I don't sweat it.. frustration I leave for the guys on here who are looking for why don't folk reply read delete etc.. |

"It ain't women messaging you. They are bots behind a paywall.
Please get real."
There are no conversations with actual humans? I don’t think this is ‘getting real’, just incorrect. |

Yes I was told by someone very few matches end up in a conversation. I must admit I've done it myself because the time runs out. I go and do something else then forget to message and puff they've gone. |

Ah, yes I can imagine that happens easily. I suppose the time thing is good as a prod to get on with it but you can’t then find the person again if it runs out. |

From my experience on dating sites, many women's profiles say hardly anything about them but instead list what they want and don't want in a partner. It is hard to engage in a conversation based only on a list of expectations. I therefore dont bother to contact those ladies at all. Maybe if people want more than "Hey" they should make the effort to reveal a little more about them so interested parties have something to start a conversation with. |
