Bumble is not a 'decent' app. Its whole schtick is taking a dump on the group that keeps it in business (men) and how horrible they are and how women need to be protected from them. Thats not fair to men or sustainable.

They are clearly responding to a real market signal (the belief, at least, that too many men behave poorly on some of these apps) that at least some women respond very favorably to. I guess if they remain successful that tells us something about both that signal and the sustainability.

If you don't like a person don't swipe on them. If they behave badly, unmatch them. I fail to see how women are systematically oppressed under this system vs the one Bumble provides.

It doesn't really matter what you or I think about it individually - if enough women are unhappy with the experience (whatever it is) on other sites that they move to this one and then find it superior and stay it's a pretty strong market signal. If it fails, that's another signal.
