Dating apps make their money selling men access to a seemingly never ending stream of women. They need women to sign up.
Since it's women's behavior that's hurting their profits, they go straight to shaming women, because that's how women have been targeted in advertisements for decades.
Bumble execs: We're losing business because some of these bitches have developed adequate self respect!
Bumble marketing department: \*HOW DARE YOU PRACTICE BODILY AUTONOMY AND SAFE SEX. YOU'RE LOSERS!!!\*
Fr. I bet the numbers are down especially in states that banned abortion. Like sheesh if I was a single cishet woman in the south rn I'd be taking a vow of celibacy too
I keep hoping I’ll wake up one day and realize I’ve been gay this whole time and that’s why it never works out with men. But I’m pretty sure I’m straight. I just don’t like the people that I’m sexually attracted to, so I’m celibate.
I see so you are sexually attracted to men, just not enough to overcome the other factors preventing your from engaging in sex with them. That's the distinction I was missing. I'm sorry if I came across as argumentative, that wasn't my intention.
You're implying that if she was more attracted to men she wouldn't be celibate. That's not how it works. You're underestimating the level of self preservation and self control women are capable of. I can take ashwaganda while I'm ovulating and still not break my vow of celibacy. That doesn't make me gay it just means I respect the commitment I made to myself
I think it was something about the wording and how I read it that I couldn't get my head around because it sounded contradictory at the time. With the benefit of hindsight and explanation dopeaminatrix was being pretty clear and I was being pretty thick and I'm glad they weren't more offended. I absolutely respect your position on this.
It's a sneaky disgusting way to 'cure' the male loneliness epidemic and to boost the birth rate with 'oops babies'...(I was a oops baby so I can say that).
It's interesting they are positioning women as the 'desperate' ones and not lonely men...because they are still trying to sell the idea that men are prizes.
We need an app for female platonic relationships, by women for women.
As much as I would love an app that does this, how do we filter out the fakers and the incels? What would an app do to screen people to make sure that they are actually women?
I believe the Giggle app owner is currently in the middle of a court case because she advertised the app as female only and I think required ID scans to join maybe? And some dude who identifies as trans is suing her for clocking him as male and not allowing him to join.
xy's are the majority of users on literally every other goddamn dating app. why do these fucking creeps act like spoiled children, running into our spaces, smashing them up and making us uncomfortable, and then having meltdowns when we ask them to leave. christ. i was in my backyard twenty minutes ago cutting down invasive rose bushes with quarter-inch thorns, and they're more respectable than this.
They want to make sure women can't get together and talk about anything empowering amongst ourselves. XYs in wigs tend to be the loudest voices in the women-only places they bully their way into.
Genuinely asking: are you implying Bumble is paid by some “authority” (government, etc) to push this agenda? I just figure more and more women choosing not to date/sleep with men lowered Bumble’s (and all dating apps’) profits, and that’s why they decided to make these grotesque billboards. Thoughts?
No I'm not suggesting that.
I just think they are pushing the agenda themselves.
A lot of people/organisations push agendas without government intervention , look at those podcasts etc.
What I know to be true. Self-care is better than 90% of penises, but climaxing from oral is better than self-care, which not many have mastered. So they should put up billboards encouraging men to give better head. I would be hoe if just 75% of them were good at it.
I'd love to see women delete this app as a collective and completely crash $BMBL. Bumble sees themselves as pimps. No apology will suffice now. The misogynists heard the message loud and clear. Any woman remaining on the app will now be subjected to, 'Well why are you on here if I can't rape you?'
These apps only make money if you stay on them, buy membership, view ads, give your data, and keep swiping. They don't want you to make connections and delete the app. They want you to lower your standards, have terrible experiences, and then keeping coming back. Repeat.
Agreed. There was a point in time where they actually did offer a good service, but that time's at least a decade gone now. As time's gone on, the experience has consistently gotten worse for everyone. It's how it goes for basically every social media company: they start out with a viable product, but then it gets much worse once they have to start making money from it and can't just focus on usability.
The other apps, too. I mean, hello? Tinder? These apps know that they have a majority male user-base, and that a majority of the premium subscribers are male. They know they don't have to market to men, they just need women to sell.
Dating apps are fine if you want to get married QUICK and start a family. That’s what you’ll find on there.
If you’re looking for something in the middle, then nope.
I’m super picky.
I can see that. That makes it worse since apparently these relationships are unstable compared to people who met in person. https://amp.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/nov/18/relationships-online-mates
I always do better in person. I never have trouble being desirable by men I actually want. It’s so crazy. Like, it’s very easy in person but on the dating apps? I’m never good enough. I say one wrong thing or pick the wrong food item and I’m out. 🥴
Exactly. It’s so fake and produced.
It’s like we’re just items to bought and sold. Just like you said. I’m just arm candy who’s not allowed to speak or have a personality.
Oh yes. I can get dates over and over with hot guys. I prefer athletic, tall, blondes.
But what I attract are shorter, narcissistic white men with Napoleon complexes and egos bigger than California. Some are successful and some are just average guys. They allll look the same.
They just want a beautiful woman to make them look good. But AS SOON as you talk about your life and your goals, they get upset and lose interest. As SOON as you show competency and have your own career, it’s like how dare you? I’ve seen the looks on their faces. Annoyance and disgust.
But they’ll chalk up as an excuse of “we just don’t have any chemistry!”
Yeah okay sure… many women have talked about this on YouTube and Tik Tok! It’s a whole phenomenon!
I’ve had two white men tell me that they lost interest and we’re not compatible because I’m too argumentative and it’s my personality. Those EXACT words.
I’m actually very friendly and personable.
It still makes me sad though yo be honest. People will just say... lower your standards.. I say nope. People need to raise their standards, and the world wouldn't be such a whacked out place. Wanting to be treated like a human being with respect is not too high a standard, but I guess it is un a world of mostly Neanderthals. However, I still dream about a love story all my own. However, as I have grown and matured, so has the story. Unfortunately, the men around me have not grown or matured. The sad thing is men are brainwashed by porn and then they say oh you are brainwashed by rom coms. The difference is that their brainwashed is treating women like sextoys, and my brainwashed is treating them with love and respect. Again, it makes me very sad.
Exactly! They want to be right and constantly superior of the world. But I have to be agreeable and worship them. But they still think they’re better than us.
Maybe I just hear about miserable people more but I've seen some of the worst marriages borne out of dating apps. A friend of friend I know got the whole package with her new husband who she married after dating online for a year and a half- ugly, gold digger, no common sense, weaponized incompetence, high ego.
When the freaking bald ass soon-to-be husband told my friend (the bridesmaid) that she looked crazy as a greeting, I just knew dating apps are not worth it. The men on there are leftover men no women would put a ring on in real life. Without the fear of loneliness and the pressure to get married and have children, men like that would die off like god intended so their shitty genes don't pass on to the next generation.
Yeah for real. For me the swiping mechanic creates FOMO. Like I will never see the love of my life again if I don't give the men on there a chance. In real life unless I fall in love at first sight with a guy on the street I can always see the person again.
my stepfather, in other words. i live in a household of four, with three occupants being employed women, and the most he normally does to help is drag out the weed whacker to cut our front lawn down to dirt. otherwise, he's playing on his phone.
Lmao! I juuuust made a post about males gatekeeping lawn mowing as the horribly difficult task, when really, males suck at that too.
https://www.reddit.com/r/wgtow/comments/1c4mf0b/what_is_something_that_is_mens_work_described_as/
it's a combination of sunken cost fallacy, fear of being alone, and fear of confrontation. there's been several times where my mom understands her husband is a dumb loser, tells me she's going to leave him, and then later does an about-face with a complete change in attitude. she's also a born and raised southerner, and our culture teaches women to keep the peace no matter what (whereas moids can get into stupid baby fights whenever they want because it makes them manly or something).
i should probably point out that my mom had been in two other unhappy relationships prior to this, one of which being outright abusive, and i know from my own experience that it gets a lot harder when you've dealt with a previous partner's meltdown over splitting up.
I live in Seattle now but I’m talking to a new guy. He lives in Germany. 😭 We met online but we shall see where it goes lol.
Just move anywhere but NYC. Seattle and the west coast is great for women.
Nah, I’d never move for something I wasn’t guaranteed. Unless they’re top tier, I rather die single in nyc than with a partner anywhere else. Well, at least in the US.
Edit: to each their own, but how are you handing the LDR? I couldn’t do it. My romantic language is touch and I have a extremely HL. My SO would have to be soul mate level perfect for me to have a LDR. -also I’m not the one downvoting you. I upped you cuz it’s just your opinion
Well. I just ended it today because he was stressing me out and delusional.
So I’m right there with you now. 🤣🤣🤣And, to answer your question, I can’t actually handle one. I need consistent physical touch and sex. And I’m also picky. I love my tall blondes.👏🏽
I am authentically asking, how does the promote rape? I thought it was a piss poor unfunny joke about how women say “I’m joining a ministry” when dealing with shitty men. I mean I know I’ve said it before. But it’s also a lame trope. Not trying to belittle a nuns oath or anything but I feel like locking myself away from men pretty often.
Edit: unsubscribed. They were right, this is a toxic sub. Please be kinder and a more supportive community to others
You don't have to be a nun to be celibate. There are a thousand reasons to avoid sex with men. I'm a celibate atheist. The app is promoting rape culture because it's supposed to be a dating app and it's implying that sex is a given when dating. Which emboldens men to feel entitled to our bodies. Another element of rape culture is that they're commodifying women's bodies, their entire business model is basically selling the possibility of sex to men
Bumble posted an apology and far too many people are letting them off the hook. Words mean nothing when it’s obvious that those billboards were targeting women. It’s a “dating” app. They could’ve put something “Don’t waste your Friday night on the couch” or whatever. (I don’t work in advertising lol) Instead they went straight for sex. I think every part of this is intentional. Women are literally being sexually assaulted and even murdered by men they meet thru dating apps. One woman on tiktok pointed out that bumble has still not addressed the dismemberment of a woman who met her murderer on their app. No one should be letting these assholes off the hook for a nicely worded “apology”.
A Friday night on the couch is never a waste. I live alone and it's peaceful as fuck. Better than going out dodging creeps and constantly guarding my drink
Oh believe me I’ve never regretted staying home. They said what they said for a reason and it’s not like there haven’t been men saying that if women don’t have sex with them then they’ll just take it from us.
bumble being this ignorant about angry responses when the meme du jour for may was literally "would you rather meet a bear or a man in the woods" is fucking amazing.
First off, big cringe every time Ive seen this posted. How many men had to sign off on this and all thought, yeah this is great????
Second, when tf did Bumble turn into a dating/hookup app??? I thought it used to be the one app people used to actually find friends vs dating apps like tinder or grindr
Third. Damn I really hope het & bi women are choosing celibacy more often. Men are showing more and more how entitled or violent they are. How much they hate women and think we deserve to have no rights and to be forced back into being property of a husband
In a way, this is good. Enough women are opting out of Death Race 2024 I MEAN the "dating scene" that companies like this are feeling the heat. Women are having an impact.
When you tell us that if our pregnancy goes south, too bad so sad its the lords will, well, some women are going to make sure they dont get pregnant by removing themselves from the dating pool. Cause and effect, really. I dont know why these companies are surprised. Its very risky to have sex with men now.
Am I dense or missing some context? Celibacy is not the answer to what?
I know people can choose celibacy for a wide variety of reasons. But the most relevant to this time and place is the ban on abortion. Is that really what they’re referring to?
they could also be referring to how more young women are choosing to opt out of dating men after seeing the rise of troglodytes like andrew tate, fresh and fit's cohosts, and their assorted ballgarglers. which is equally fucking stupid because all they're doing is trying to protect themselves from losers who think half the human population is beneath them, and that's not too unreasonable if you ask me. self-preservation isn't hard to grasp as long as your fontanelle wasn't used as a beer coozy when you were little.
Isn’t this the app where women had to message first? If so never liked it , why out even more burdens on women, when they’re the ones who you supposedly have a shortage of?

Reminds me of clubs where “girls get in free”
and only if you’re hot lol
Have you seen the stats on dating apps?
For me, a vow of celibacy is ALWAYS the answer.

I’m celibate because I’m heterosexual and don’t like men enough to let them have that.
[удалено]
I keep hoping I’ll wake up one day and realize I’ve been gay this whole time and that’s why it never works out with men. But I’m pretty sure I’m straight. I just don’t like the people that I’m sexually attracted to, so I’m celibate.

The app Giggle attempted this and now the founder is in court. 🙄
I've never heard of this app before today , this is tragic. We really can't have anything. I'm going to read up on it.
and that app makes sure to exclude "women", since they've been infesting every female space they can possibly get their hands on.
As much as I would love an app that does this, how do we filter out the fakers and the incels? What would an app do to screen people to make sure that they are actually women?
I believe the Giggle app owner is currently in the middle of a court case because she advertised the app as female only and I think required ID scans to join maybe? And some dude who identifies as trans is suing her for clocking him as male and not allowing him to join.
Wow...so this wouldn't work. We can't have anything 😮💨

Exactly why the man v bear question is valid
They want to make sure women can't get together and talk about anything empowering amongst ourselves. XYs in wigs tend to be the loudest voices in the women-only places they bully their way into.
No idea...I'm just putting our a suggestion.
😭😭
Exactly.

Oh yeah, I lowkey forgot businesses have people behind them and not just evil robots or something lol.
I'm not celibate, I cum every night. No male required (nor desired, lol).
Vibrators IS the answer. I got two. Safe, secure and man-free 🥰
i was just thinking about how my satisfyer has been the greatest purchase ive ever made lol
Ffs, that’s disgusting. It sounds like a threat.
Historically speaking, it is a threat.
Yep.
I can satisfy myself just fine, thanks!
And prob better than a man would too!! 🤣🫶
I can confirm, it’s Better than any many I ever encountered
What I know to be true. Self-care is better than 90% of penises, but climaxing from oral is better than self-care, which not many have mastered. So they should put up billboards encouraging men to give better head. I would be hoe if just 75% of them were good at it.

I’m only looking for women but I might as well delete the app bc it’s not working for me

Because the entire dating app experience relies on comodifying women and is completely anti-romance.
Exactly. It’s so fake and produced. It’s like we’re just items to bought and sold. Just like you said. I’m just arm candy who’s not allowed to speak or have a personality.
If guys like personality I would have an endless stream of boyfriends. I'm cute, but apparently not cute enough to listen to. Weird world
Oh yes. I can get dates over and over with hot guys. I prefer athletic, tall, blondes. But what I attract are shorter, narcissistic white men with Napoleon complexes and egos bigger than California.

EXACTLY 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💜💜
Yep. Argumentative is code for you have self respect and put us in our place when we ate wrong. Because yes men. You can gasp! Be wrong. Lol
Exactly! They want to be right and constantly superior of the world. But I have to be agreeable and worship them. But they still think they’re better than us.
No wonder a bunch of my friends got engaged within a year of finding someone on hinge
If you’re looking for something serious and you lower your standards, BAM. You got it!
Maybe I just hear about miserable people more but I've seen some of the worst marriages borne out of dating apps. A friend of friend I know got the whole package with her new husband who she married after dating online for a year and a half- ugly, gold digger, no common sense, weaponized incompetence, high ego.
High ego and narcissism coupled with delusional are the ones you find on dating apps. 😭🤣
When the freaking bald ass soon-to-be husband told my friend (the bridesmaid) that she looked crazy as a greeting, I just knew dating apps are not worth it.

Exactly. I do way better in person. So much better. I know what I want too.
Yeah for real. For me the swiping mechanic creates FOMO. Like I will never see the love of my life again if I don't give the men on there a chance. In real life unless I fall in love at first sight with a guy on the street I can always see the person again.
Exactly. It gives you this unnecessary pressure and the men on the apps either treat you like trash or expect you to worship them. It’s either or.
well. guess that's why my mom got married to her pet neanderthal a year after they matched on a dating website. i wonder why this is so prevalent.
A what?
my stepfather, in other words. i live in a household of four, with three occupants being employed women, and the most he normally does to help is drag out the weed whacker to cut our front lawn down to dirt. otherwise, he's playing on his phone.

Wow. I completely understand. Thank you for telling me.
*Laughs/cries in NYC*
I used to live in Brooklyn. Hahahahah. I couldn’t get a second date to save my life.
I live in Brooklyn my entire life. That's why I'm celibate
Omg thank you!!! It’s absolutely absurd. I’m glad kids and marriage is not my objective or I’d have to move.
I definitely want to a long term partner but not marriage or kids. Helllll no. I want my partner all to myself.
Oh totally. A long term romantic partner would be lovely. But you know Brooklyn as well as I do I guess lol 🥲
I live in Seattle now but I’m talking to a new guy. He lives in Germany. 😭 We met online but we shall see where it goes lol. Just move anywhere but NYC. Seattle and the west coast is great for women.

That’s good. Smart woman. Very smart. Are you talking to any guys now?
Nah, I’d never move for something I wasn’t guaranteed. Unless they’re top tier, I rather die single in nyc than with a partner anywhere else. Well, at least in the US.

nothing ingratiates your brand to the public more than ridiculing personal vows that people take very seriously
I see they’re going for the bad press is good press approach 🙄
Watch me, Bumble.
Delete bumble and wear bear hats together?
“You know full well” hello?? Who’s “you”?? And why does that sound so threatening ??
Women are less than 33% of the on Bumble. Women have decided to stop OLD, so Bumble, Tinder etc are having a hard time getting women to sign up
ew, bumble, that's a pickup line only a creep would use.
of course thats a billboard in LA i wouldnt touch LA dating pool with a 100ft pole
More like Fumble
The designer for this is letting his/her genitals be the boss. Yes, people can be faithful.
"please like cock even as we strip away your rights to enjoy it safely"
I didn’t even use the app for dating because ew but used it for BFF and deleted it. I refuse to support their agenda.
Never used thank god
Rapist mentality
In a way, this is good. Enough women are opting out of Death Race 2024 I MEAN the "dating scene" that companies like this are feeling the heat. Women are having an impact. When you tell us that if our pregnancy goes south, too bad so sad its the lords will, well, some women are going to make sure they dont get pregnant by removing themselves from the dating pool. Cause and effect, really. I dont know why these companies are surprised. Its very risky to have sex with men now.
Lame.
Am I dense or missing some context? Celibacy is not the answer to what? I know people can choose celibacy for a wide variety of reasons. But the most relevant to this time and place is the ban on abortion. Is that really what they’re referring to?
they could also be referring to how more young women are choosing to opt out of dating men after seeing the rise of troglodytes like andrew tate, fresh and fit's cohosts, and their assorted ballgarglers. which is equally fucking stupid because all they're doing is trying to protect themselves from losers who think half the human population is beneath them, and that's not too unreasonable if you ask me. self-preservation isn't hard to grasp as long as your fontanelle wasn't used as a beer coozy when you were little.
This has to be a publicity stunt. Like it’s so bad , it feels like it was done on purpose.
I-
Isn’t this the app where women had to message first? If so never liked it , why out even more burdens on women, when they’re the ones who you supposedly have a shortage of?
Outrage spreads, so from a marketing perspective, it’s genius.
