Bumble Girl #2: Hi.
Me: Hi, back. How are you?
No response for days.
I go and read her profile. She is attractive. Tall looking. Athletic. Nice, kind eyes. Why the fuck don't people respond when you write them back with, "Hi, how are you?"
Women want more from you. They want more effort. They want you to put the extra work and show you care. This is bullshit when they start with a bullshit question. I shouldn't even answer some woman that writes, "hi." and then doesn't say shit about who she is, or what she does.
Bumble or Tinder gives you a 30% to meet someone and date them. I read that somwehere.
Her profile reads like a saint. She is riding elephants, she is boarding planes, she is a baller.
Fuck.
I have lived abroad for 14 years and feel like she has me beat.
The truth is, I don't know. Because another Bumble opening has failed.
If I try something else, like, "What the fuck is up? Why do you look so horribly sexy in that dress," she will probably respond because I have personality. Zest. A sense of confidence. An asshole type mind.
And isn't that the whole kit and kaboodle, I do have personality, but she will never find out because online daters are just swiping instead of getting to know someone.
A zero-sum game is no good for anyone. Another #woke dude's online dating diary.
