I literally saw so many profiles being like “I don’t message first”, like do you even understand what the app you’ve signed up for is?

I always wondered if they realised we actually can't send the first message.

Well, men CAN message first, as of like 8 months ago.

Great, so I can just use any other dating app now, and don't need Bumble anymore? What kind of genius move it is to kill the signature feature. But oh well the person responsible already left...

I did hear about that.
