> Women initiate the conversation.

They have already indicated that they are interested in the man by swing "yes" on him.




I'm not clear on what you're mean. On Bumble, women are specifically supposed to type out the first message in a conversation, which is what makes it unique from other apps where either party may send the first message. If the woman does not send a message within some period, the match disappears. (This is how it was several years ago. I assume it is similar.)

Supposedly this makes it better, although I disagree. Many women adapt to that in the same way that men adapted to it in the OP, which is to say, they start sending out generic, shitty messages like, "Hi."
