I've been on OLD for years but every year, my results from it seem to be getting worst and worst... (I pay for premium as well!)
Of all the OLD apps, Bumble seemed like the golden goose.
This was because Bumble integrated well with our RP understanding at one point. What do I mean by this?
Most girls on swipe apps are only just looking for their own 1% man but enjoying endless attention from 99% of men.
When girls have so many options, it's very hard to gauge their interest level, especially when most swipe apps put the burden on us to initiate and sustain the conversation. You almost start at a lower ground in trying to gauge the IL from girls to find the ones that are worthy.
Bumble was different. Bumble put the burden on the girls to send the first message in the conversation, and this really helped us (men) with weeding out who truly had IL and those who were just looking for attention.
Guess what? This has changed. Bumble has recently introduced a feature where girls don't have to start the conversation.
Suddenly, Bumble is no different from Tinder, CMB or Hinge.
Since this feature, my results from Bumble has really taken a nose dive. The flakey and pointless matches have gone up.
Are there any of you now who are still killing it on OLD?
Having read nothing other than the OP here's what I'll say...
Bumble seems fine.
Hinge is ok.
Tinder is utter dogs***.
I used to think Tinder was the best because that's the one where people knew it was about hooking up. But nowadays almost every half-decent-looking girl has a stylized way of writing "snapchat/instagram" in her bio with a name that doesn't even match up to hers. Couple that with "New Here" and no verification and I feel like I'm just swiping on bots 90% of the time.
I did have a match the other day that showed some promise...hot, not too far away, normal conversation, verified. But when I asked for her number she said I had to "earn it", so I responded with "lol nvm, we're off to a bad start". She unmatched me at some point afterward.
Bumble is where I met my most recent plate, so I'm quite happy.
And I recently met another off of Hinge, and that's going well, we haven't had sex yet because she's an au pair and neither one of us had a place to go - recently she's been overworked and staying in going to bed early.
I didn't even know Bumble updated that feature, but at least most of the girls on there are real....
