I have tried it, didn't work for me. I had one match, and she never contacted me, which tells me that she probably swiped right by mistake. But I know others who have had some great dates from it. A lot of the women I have seen on there in my area and mostly professionals, many of them working in High Profile jobs.

If there was something attractive about her, I would have already approached her. If she approaches me i didnt approach first for a reason. That is my theory.

But since it is entirely impossible for you to approach a woman on Bumble, that theory clearly doesn't hold in that application.

That isn't the logical response to the facts at hand. You received information that has nullified your theory (aka the hypothesis has been rejected) so continuing with the hypothesis (or theory you're calling it... lets let that go for now) is just the wrong course of action. Once a hypothesis has been rejected, it doesn't make any sense to use it, it is void. One needs to revise it, or adopts the alternative hypothesis and test that.

Tinder is pretty horrible now. Nothing but spambots and very low-quality women on there for the most part.

Bumble is definitely where it's at right now.

I'm not here to pass a science course. There is a reason I studied business management and not science in college. My bottom line: I will reject a woman who makes the first move and that extends to an app like Bumble which encourages women to male the first move.

Class dismissed.

Ok...and if you're in an area that has more than like four women there, and you didn't notice the woman who approached you before? Would you still think, "Oh, I didn't see her until she approached me, but since she approached me I'll reject her because I have this hard line, black and white rule?"

I like your posts for the most part but this is where we disagree. Having an inflexible rule like that doesn't make dating easier.

Yup.

Which is why his "rule" absolutely makes zero sense in at least some situations, but, to each their own...

I love it when a woman makes the first move. It's attractive and sexy to me.
