I’m impressed with the men on the site. Still not getting my hopes up but I’m already talking dates with a few who are solidly my type. So when or if those happen I’ll update on success or failure. Or maybe start a new thread on that. Finally.
Glad you joined Bumble! My friend met her boyfriend there and he is truly quality.

I wasn’t expecting this at all. There isn’t one that I like most because they are all good. They even follow up with me if I forget to reply or if I’m taking longer than usual. In the same situations on Match the conversation would die out. The men were less engaged.
Another thing is that they are quicker to ask to meet. I wasn’t sure if this was a good or bad thing but maybe it is good.

Why am I not surprised? It looks like there is some self-selection in the men who join and stay on the site until they find someone.

You want to meet your intellectual and socioeconomic equal. If Bumble opens up a pool with more of those, by all means use it.
I decided to try Bumble for a month (after reading about it on this message board), paid for a 30-day membership. Contacted by two or three women, each conversation petered out after three or four days, just one or two lines at a time about the weather or "hope you have a good morning" and such.
A pleasant enough diversion from OkC, which I find unusable now, and POF, where my inbox is chock-full of contacts from women whose usernames end with a 4-digit hex value (like "1a6c") and always have a website URL in their messages.
Awoke this morning to three new women "in my hive" ... each attractive and seeming to be a reasonable matches for me (ie, non-"Liberal/Atheist/Cats"). This reminds me of Match years ago where just prior to the expiration of my paid membership I'd get several matches, they likely had stock profiles to message me to entice me to keep paying ... after that, back to the wasteland.
Expect two of them to expire after 24 hours and maybe the third one is a real person. But I have low expectations.

I won’t assume to know what the problem was here. But I experienced this with a couple of men. One of the men I have a date with, his first few replies were one or two lines. Now he writes books and sends videos. I think some people don’t know what to say at first. Or you’re not standing out enough for them to invest. But again, I can’t say what happened here.

Why would you pay? I've never given bumble, okc, tinder, whatever a dime. This isn't the mid 00s anymore, there is no need to pay.
Ya know, I can't remember, I think it let me see women who supposedly swipe right on me instead of an overall count and tiny unrecognizable blurred pics. I thought it would be a good experiment over the free sites and, what the heck, for a month. (I need to cancel my subscription a few days prior to the one month anniversary, as I am certain it "auto" renews ... in about a week's time)
