So like a corporate sin eater?
I'm embarrassed it took me so long to realize this. Somebody explained that to me recently, within the context of a conversation about layoffs. That CEO had no prior CEO experience, was only there for less than a year, and was part of the board of directors. In hindsight it seems so obvious.
Don't worry though, they'll fail towards.
Ohh you mean the "pay for every little thing" -feature? Dang I really liked that
Is the signature feature that women initiate or was that some other app?
It was.
There's a big problem with the "women message first" gimmick, and it's that they just don't.
If they don't simply let the match expire, you either get a shitty Gif, or something along the lines of "hey."
Maybe one in ten will actually send a message that genuinely starts a conversation.
it would work better if it was "women swipe first'. men can look at and swipe the women who swiped them already. this solves two problems:
- women are not seen by anyone they don't want to be
- men don't need to spend hours swiping hundreds of women
please give me 1 million dollars
This means men will see many fewer women on the platform in many cases.
Well cultural habits are slow to change. I suspect it would take some 20 years to change the dynamics such than women are always expected to make the first move.
Bumble was well positioned to push for that change, unfortunately earning revenue has a priority, they are are a business after all. Still their gimmick got the ball rolling, we'll see who picks it up next.
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?
Well, men CAN message first, as of like 8 months ago.
I did hear about that.
I always wondered if they realised we actually can't send the first message.
