Considering our divorce rate, it might do a better job at match making than people do.

I was going to say this somehow might be a good thing and give actual normal people a chance at finding each other instead of superficial swiping

but it all falls apart if people just lie on their answers and with their photos anyway

I wonder if I can finally opt out of transsexuals like the 20 other things you can filter for

Women loved the whole idea of being empowered to make the first move until they actually had to do the work.

The good Lord’s divine providence is the only reason I met my future wife on Bumble. All the other women who are wife material are on Hinge, not Bumble. (Your location may vary)

Back in the day, Match and eHarmony were the Rolls Royce of dating apps. I was mainly looking for hook ups instead of relationships and did well with both of them. The rest of the dating apps back then were populated by skanks but those two actually had pretty and classy women online.

I tried eHarmony first. It did not work very well for me.

I switched to Match 3 months later, and I could have had a different date every night of the week if I had the time, money and stamina. I was in hog heaven.

After a while it got to be too much. I couldn't handle it.

I think Bumble's main problem is women have to message first.


It sounded nice and all, but women are too chicken shite to start a conversation or ask someone out.

Also happening/ going to happen with things like Spotify, streaming services, shopping.

If they "AI wall" it, they can promote results, give you what they want you to see/ hear/ buy, rather than you being able to search for what you want.

I read this to mean they're putting these uppities back down to reality.

AI is only as good as the information its fed. In other words, I am not sure AI can do anything more than what was done before. People fill out their profile and then in this big database with all of these people, it sorts through the people who match with you based on what you like.. That's what an AI assistant will do. AI is a buzz word now.

Awhile back I was looking for a camera for my mom's husband so he can set up inside and be able to view from his phone. And I came across a cheap one.. Like $20+ cheap and it had in its description "AI Audio" and I am like "how does this shite have AI audio and its $20 something dollars? I bet there is nothing truly AI about this". So I turned to AI and asked ChatGPT if that product had "AI audio" or is AI used for marketing purposes. It then informed me that companies are now using AI very loosely and if it truly used whats in the description it would cost in the $200 range and not the $20 range.

Bumble can claim to use all the AI they can claim they using, but I assume their are a lot of bots on there. They have to because if it tells you "there are 3 people you match up with" no one will use it. These bastards are just trying to milk whatever they can just to keep their head above water.
