My main problem with Bumble was the lack of women on it (small network). The "women start communication" part was interesting, but ultimately frustrating. I'd have a dozen matches, and one would talk to me, maybe. I think this is going to turn more men off the service in the long run.

Yeah, I've basically given up on it. I'm not convinced that there's a single real woman on there actively, and I have some girl friends that are on there.

But is that really a different experience than messaging a dozen women and getting, maybe, one reply?

Yes. At least I've done something more than just swiping and tried to reach out on the other platforms. It's still frustrating but not as bad as seeing dozens of potential connections made and then slip away before even a single word is said.
