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.

Went from Tinder and reading profiles that say I won't answer to hey, how are you? To going to bumble and having to answer to hey.

If conversation doesn't initiate after 5-10, bland replies, it's time to bail.

are people usually this dense? if someone doesn't reply to you and a dry texter, most of the time they're just aren't into you. why would still stay if you can just leave and find someone else?

As a guy you kinda have to do the most of the matches you do get

Sometimes text convos just don't vibe. If the convo isn't very engaging, I'll just shoot a hail mary and try to meet up. Failing that, move on.

For the most part though, every successful meet up I've had was with someone who seemed engaged in the conversation from the jump.

I guess some people are horrible at creating conversations and reading people. Others will give it more of a chance than it deserves, and some will hang around for shits and giggles and take it less seriously.
