    I paid for a month of Bumble and that’s how I realized it’s a scam. I get monetizing your business. But they wanted me to pay them to extend a window of how long a girl has a chance to respond after I like them. You only get 24 hours.

    I’m smart enough to know women have lives. And what if my “soulmate” didn’t see my like because she didn’t log in to the app for a few days? The app shouldn’t shake me down for more cash just to keep my visibility. You can monetize features, and perks, and number of swipes. But don’t monetize the ability for people to meet. In my opinion OkCupid is still the best one around.
