> If instead he's referring to apps like Bumble where the woman has to make the first move, see above for why some apps choose to operate with that model.

Under that model.. it's common for the first message to be "hi" or ".". Not much has changed.

Most common Bumble message: "Hey how's it going"

Isn't that the exact lack of effort you complain about? The real problem is that wtf are you supposed to say to someone you don't know? Whatever that comes out is meaningless because you have 0 to go on. That's the point. It's a starting point.

What a lot of ignorant men don't realize is that's the woman saying "you start the convo." Not everything is meant to be interpreted literally in dating and relationships. If you believe that, you're doing it wrong.

I realize it is. Doesn't mean that I have to tolerate that or accept it. Be a human, start a conversation.
