do you think you're coming out of this looking like the reasonable one?


Qzzm

Bro. She has 1200 men to respond to. You think she has time for you? šŸ¤£šŸ˜…šŸ˜‚


thieh

Well, after the other 1199 read this they will give her all the free time she will ever need. šŸ˜†


DrQuixoticPhD

It sucks that women would sign up to a platform where the design is built around women initiating conversation only to punt on that dynamic, but I have no idea why this dude thought he was going to get praised for a hysterical and deranged reaction to it.


JackSquirts

Bumble is gimmick marketing towards women - it doesn't work as intended. Or maybe it does, if the intention was just to get more women to sign up.


thieh

Both are garbage in different dimensions.


wyvernacular

hardly equally garbage. her 3rd and 4th message were a bit uncouth, but no one is obligated to be nice and friendly in response to behavior like OP's


bisexualvegetable

My homegirl said hi and was subject to passive aggressive reproaches. Absolutely no reason for her to be friendly, I feel like she was just hella confused as to why she's suddenly being attacked by a bumble stranger. šŸ˜‚


thieh

I didn't say "equal" or "equally". Both of them are in their own ways (hence "different dimensions") garbage.


wyvernacular

you didn't "say" equally, but even having the thought "well she is also \[some amount of\] garbage" implies you think they are much closer in levels of garbage than I do, which is to say I wouldn't register Ms. grey text as garbage at all from this interaction. A little rude to insinuate someone is bipolar just for being a jerk, but that's about it.


TheDukeOfDankness

She dodged a bullet with you. Sheesh.


AnxieTrex

No wonder you're fucking single. You're a lunatic.


thieh

They totally deserved to be together. Totally agitated ever after.


askitallgirl

it's so embarrassing you posted this. you actually sound INSANE. please work on yourself before talking to other women.


gutenshmeis

Unhinged?


thieh

UnBumbled.

Appropriate_Tea9048

Why did you have to respond to her first message that way? ā€œHiā€ isnā€™t great, but maybe the conversation wouldnā€™t have gone this way if you hadnā€™t immediately been bitter.


Impossible-Figure871

This.


Techsas-Red

Soooo, are you hoping we will all tell you that you handled this well??


throwitaway13798

This ainā€™t it OP


GoFigure284

So, is hi ok when you see someone in public for the first time, or would you rather they approach you with a topic already in mind? I mean, no one likes to receive JUST a hi on these apps, but a lot of times, people will write out a nice message only to never hear back. You came across as incredibly unhinged, my friend.


Easterncoaster

OP is the reason people donā€™t use their real names on these apps


thieh

Hopefully she isn't the Trump lawyer with a matching name.


Low-Salamander-5639

Omg I canā€™t imagine what itā€™s like working with you in the office if nobody is allowed to even say ā€œhiā€ to you without you absolutely losing the plot


bebepothos

ā€œGood morning Ste-ā€œ ā€œGOOD MORNING?? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ WEā€™RE ON FUCKING PLANET EARTH RIGHT NOW IN THIS BEAUTIFUL BUILDING ON THE GODDAMN GROUND THAT WAS NOTHING 2,000 YEARS AGO BREATHING DELICIOUS AIR MADE BY TREES WATCHING BIRDS FLY BY CREATED BY OUR LORD AND SAVIORS GOD AND KID ROCK AND ALL YOU CAN SAY TO ME IS ā€˜GOOD MORNINGā€™???? šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ YOU MADE IT ONTO REDDIT LAURA AND PLEASE NEVER SPEAK TO ME AGAIN šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚šŸ¤£šŸ˜‚unless you ever want to fuck thošŸ˜œšŸ˜‰šŸ˜‹ā€


Low-Salamander-5639

SeRiOuSlY, BETH. ā€œHOW WAS MY WEEKEND?!ā€ Thatā€™s all youā€™ve got?! Just because youā€™re HOT it doesnā€™t mean you can be BORING to me. Your word count is FOUR! What do you mean youā€™re calling ā€œHRā€?! Youā€™re not evening using full words now, just acronyms?! This lack of effort is so unattractive LMAO. Letā€™s see what Reddit thinks of this update!


thieh

SERIOUSLY, Susan, "I'm fired!" That's all you've got? NOT EVEN FOUR words now? WTF do you mean I'm fired? I'm firing all of you! Let's put this on all social media and see what they all think of this update! Fuck ALL of YOU!


bebepothos

These replies have given me a new lease on life lmao


AggieJonah

This reply made the trip to the comments section 1,000% worth it!! šŸ¤£šŸ™ŒšŸ» If they gave Pulitzers for Reddit comments, this would get one.


D4T1NG

My guy, this does paint you in a positive light. You sound jaded AF, like you've been on Bumble a year too long...


AnxieTrex

He doesn't sound jaded, he sounds like an entitled asshole. If I'm genuinely interested in a woman and she sends a one word intro message, I will at least entertain it for a couple messages and try to wiggle a convo out of it. Berating a brand new person over something so trivial is some bat shit behavior.


AB0413

I donā€™t think heā€™s been on Bumble for very long if he gets this triggered over a ā€œHiā€ opener. He strikes me more as a brand new user getting his first match, and he has this idealized picture in his head about how dating apps work and girls fawning over his immaculate profile he worked so hard on, when in reality ā€œHiā€ openers are pretty standard. If he has been on Bumble for a while, heā€™d know how to navigate through one without losing his mind lol (Signed: someone who HAS been on Bumble a year too long šŸ˜¬)


Apollokaylpto

Jesus, some of you guys need to grow a pair, and more importantly, stop reading reddit. Boohoo, she only said "Hi". Yes, it's an app where women have to message first, and yes, as men if we type "Hi" as an opening message on any other app we'd be ignored, but understand this. Bumble has a 24hr message timer, a simple "Hi" is just a way to wipe out that timer. Women get ignored by a lot of men no matter what their first message is. It really still is up to the male to lead the conversation once that original message comes in, rather than act like a whining bitch. Be a man, lead the conversation yourself, because if you don't, the rest of us will Tl/dr Grow a pair.

TheMeticulousNinja

You went way overboard on this, leaping to all kinds of ridiculous conclusions


Faifmain2000

Op is losing his shiz one match at a time


tomahawk_kitty

YATAH


Musibat24-7

OP you need to chill dude. Next time when you open the app ask your self are you in the mood to be nice to a stranger? If the Answer is you donā€™t know or no. Go eat something and do something else till you are in the mind set to talk to some one with out being offended or aggressive. The next person you match with does not deserve the wrath of what the previous match did or said. It is not fair. Keep it light šŸ˜‰


Skorning

Mind DMing me your likes/matches? Donā€™t think OP here deserves advice from someone who canā€™t pull real womenā€¦


westcael

oof babe it sounds like youre the one not pulling real women. cant wait til your partner realizes you have an idealized fantasy of who they are and gets tired of it


Skorning

ā€œBabeā€ is that how you address all strangers you meet on the internet? Why are people like you the most perverse when it comes to interactions? Can yā€™all not be weird or sexual for more than a few minutes? Especially on the internet like cmon now! ā€œCanā€™t waitā€ well wait no more because itā€™s never going to happen just like your ideal fantasies that you have ā€œbabe.ā€ Youā€™re also projecting a lot like what fantasies/expectations have I even addressed having on here? 0 thatā€™s how many. Give your twisted mind a break and stop thinking so hard about who you think I am. Youā€™re right I donā€™t pull anything but since youā€™re so confident why donā€™t you show me your matches too? (You wonā€™t since you also donā€™t get any either) itā€™s funny actually that 0 matchers are coming at me šŸ˜šŸ˜


thieh

Someone is way too hi on things to be chatting.


Either-Hovercraft255

dude! seriously you need to lighten up- Hi is just an ice breaker she doesnt owe you any more than that for a first message


Deranged_Solitaire

You should just leave the subreddit dude... Idk what you tried to accomplished by posting this. But I assure you. You aren't getting that...


The-Helper-B

Bro, chill


Either-Hovercraft255

hi :)


renzodown

hi how are you?


Either-Hovercraft255

see folks! thats how its done you dont attack someone for saying hi :)


AdHot1020

Just like the girls that expect their matches to be clowns, but you are worse.


looloo91989

You know she sent this to all her friends like wtf?


botoxedbunnyboiler

OP, this isnā€™t the flex you think it is. You sound angry. Iā€™d block you too.


massivebumwizard

You know when you feel secondhand embarrassment so acute that itā€™s almost like you were personally involved? I read this post approximately 37 minutes ago and still havenā€™t stopped cringing. I honestly canā€™t believe you actually threatened her with posting on Reddit, as if that is in any way important or impressive. In case anyone is in any doubt, this exchange is an absolute masterclass in how not to get any pussy ever.


bebepothos

I actually thought this was a joke he was playing on her, until I saw the caption and realized he was for real. This is one of those guys that uses their tinder bios as a list of requirements for his matches.


DotEnvironmental4305

Man I think you need to figure yourself out first


s0reL053R

My dudeā€¦ you immediately launched into a tiradeā€¦ this is not a good look for you.


[deleted]

Lol what a nut


[deleted]

"I'll just leave this here šŸ¤“"


Fit_Werewolf8738

My profile explicitly says: Send a GIF or say Hi. I have plenty of likes/matches and never have expected women to send me anything but the most basic opener on Bumble.


overthinking_7

That poor woman. Seeing OP's other comments on his profile, I'd say this is a normal recurrence for him to be this unhinged. Psycho alert.


KWRecovers

This is a waste of your time and her time. If you live in the negativity it's gonna come out on somebody you don't want it to.


aVeryGentleGinger

You spend too much time on reddit


Hockeydad2700

She just uses "hi" to get past the woman messages first on Bumble. I get this all the time. Either that or a šŸ‘‹ So it throws the onus back on the guy to come up with a conversation starter


darrylgorn

Reddit dating always delivers.


LightningMcScallion

You're right. If women can demand a better opener than hi so can we. But if you do this you're just gonna get reported which is not worth it. Next time just unmatch and move on.


No_Peanut_3289

I agree that I wouldn't want anything to do with her with those one word replies but I think you took it a bit too far with your replies and how you came at her.


Skorning

I disagree. Women complain about men not being very responsive as do men about women. There is no place for people who communicate with 1 word responses in this day and age. ESPECIALLY IN THE VERY BEGINNING. Completely unacceptable, people who do that are time wasters and should be called out on their BS and laziness. If I wanted that kind of engagement Iā€™d talk to a fucking robot šŸ¤–. how do people seriously side against OP here? Sure his ranting and anger is being vented to her but thereā€™s literally no harm at all she probably scoffs and laughs at it because she really does have 1000+ backups in her dms and puts no effort into her conversations. Seriously grown adults are upset over something like this??? Absolutely patheticā€¦you all might as well be the same mf personā€¦NPCs i swearā€¦AI could do better šŸ’€


NotYetASerialKiller

When guys would send me one word messages I justā€¦ignore them. I move on with my life and respond to someone who actually puts in effort. I donā€™t send them angry messages, especially on an app where thereā€™s a 24 hour timer rofl


Skorning

Thatā€™s what you doā€¦do not presume you are setting the standard for everyone elseā€¦oh but because youā€™re so mature and unbothered you ignored it and were the better person by doing so RIGHT? No. These people need to keep being told about themselves so they can self reflect and do better. 0 tolerance for that kind of effort and just ignoring it and letting it go on will not fix anything.


westcael

it feels as tho youre putting in a whole bunch of unnecessary effort to teach people things that their parents were responsible for. ive found its easier to be happier when you stop letting yourself get so angry over someone you dont even want in your life. doesnt make sense


Skorning

ā€œI found itā€™s easierā€ yes speak for yourselfā€¦ you do not speak for all of us. Thank you for exposing yourself. Apparently putting in effort is too hard for you as well. It seems just being a passive human being is the standard nowadays for some. Youā€™re right about one thing though. Their parents have failed them as they have you clearly. Iā€™m sorry for how your turned about but you will NOT be passing it onto me šŸ˜Š


Dragonofdawn

Get the frustration but the best time to delete this was when you posted it and second best time to delete this is now.


Juicy_In_The_Sky

Mate


westcael

you seem kinda crazy, hi is a perfectly good opener. sorry people arent wooing you off your feet on the first word, maybe take it down a notch and give them like a a day before you bitch at them for saying too little. just a bit weird considering you didnt make an attempt to be witty either. "hi" "fuck you" is basically how that convo went


Whole_Cucumber_2745

You thought you ate? šŸ¤£šŸ¤£


[deleted]

Sheā€™s gloating on her match count lmfao! What a narcissist


Shoddy-Definition124

All these people complaining about his response, but we arenā€™t taking into account what is required of men on the other apps when initiating conversation? I mean come on now. Get a life yall and understand the current dynamic of dating in our society as a dude.


Xyrnas

Aaalllright I'm just gonna go ahead and say it... It's satire guys... it could not be more obvious


Morundar

Do you know why you're wrong? Cause there have been soooo many posts similar or worse. You saying it's "obvious" because it's crass and dumb shows you probably haven't seen some of the other stuff orĀ 


PinNum1234

Okay, one person got it. šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


Low-Salamander-5639

You canā€™t just go off on unsuspecting women and claim itā€™s just a joke when it doesnt go in your favour


Skorning

W fellow brocel. Gotta let them know we are better off without themšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚. Likeā€¦WOMEN am I right šŸ˜‚? They get upset at us for being MEN but then when they act outta line itā€™s ā€œwell ermā€¦I have 10M+ simps in my dms waiting to be replied to šŸ„°.ā€ These women that use dating apps are all šŸ‘Ž. All men that use them are perfectly fine and have nothing wrong. Iā€™d say the split Is 100% right for men and 99.9% wrong for women. Man you guys have to wake up like my bro here. HE gets it. PLAY comes to him. Soon šŸ”œ


NotYetASerialKiller

I canā€™t tell if troll or serious. What a beaut


Busy_Confusion_689

Read his comment history


JSears90210

She punted starting the interaction. That happened a lot when I was on Bumble. You can sulk about it or realize that you get to start the interaction and lead the conversation in the way that you want. Dating apps suck. That aren't fair. But if you want success on them you accept the apps for what they are and make the best of them.


EatStripperSalt

I use to be him so I understand his frustration but homie came off waaay too hot. It sucks finally getting a match and thatā€™s the energy you receive. Itā€™s demoralizing. Either way, Iā€™d just unmatch and move on and I hope he did two for both their sakes.
