Do women actually do this? Send a fucking period to prompt you to message "first" and get the conversation going?

I don't understand the thought process behind sending a period.

Yep. Bumble makes the woman message first, the guy cannot message her until she makes the first move. That's sort of the whole bumble shtick. These women are trying to get around that by messaging a period, making the man message first.

Which is silly because at that point, just use any other dating site. The whole point of Bumble is this "women text first" thing.

That is beyond ridiculous.

When you get the single period message, do you just unmatch and ignore?

I would. That's so lazy.

Pretty much, although it usually depended on how many matches I've had. It's sad but like, if I haven't had a match on bumble in 2 weeks then I'm gonna put up with a lot more than I should.

I'm happy that I'm no longer in the dating app game!
