How do we think the 'Girls have to message first" will impact user demographic, the 'typical' conversation & levels of engagement? Is Whitney or any other Bumble-rs on PH?

@isaacsrda I think this is genius. As a formerly frequent user of dating apps, I can attest that I and my female friends would NOT message first, even if we really thought a profile was great. This removes the stigma, while simultaneously turning the painful contact process that guys go through on its head.

@KikiSchirr yep, completely. also they've managed to keep the tinder swipe UX without it feeling cheap. if anything, it's better.

@KikiSchirr @isaacsrda Female point of view here: I think it is genius. Girls want to message first, we just don't want to feel like we're too forward (which can be a turn off for guys). Being it a rule makes it less awkward for girls.

@isaacsrda I'll agree with the other repliers and say that this feature is so genius. I've felt for a while that this sort of restriction could provide so much value to dating apps. Really excited to see if it works in practice.

@KikiSchirr @isaacsrda you're right, this is the genius idea of Bumble. As a male, I tried tinder a bit, but my matches would never message first... or show not that great interest... This way female will feel more committed. It's a win win
