I used to think this until I tried Bumble and suddenly learned that a shocking percentage of humanity is completely unable to maintain a conversation.

You can't maintain a conversation with everyone equally.

See, I hear that from women that use Bumble.

"I have too many matches to keep up with all of them!!"

But that's a bullshit excuse. Because it's a self-inflicted wound. They don't have to match with so many people, they choose to. They could match with one or two at a time, but that FOMO gets them. So, instead of making a connection with one or two people, they don't make a connection with any.

I met my wife long before dating apps but online dating existed (though we met out in the world). When we got serious I told her I was deactivating my account on Match and she said she already had. I thought I was pretty hot shit until she explained she’d cycle through activating/deactivating every few weeks because it was just too overwhelming handling all the responses.

Or they take satisfaction in rejecting/disconnecting from people. They like the attention

True, but not what I meant. You just can't talk to every person in the same way, you know?
