What's the fucking point in that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambomo Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Oh well, that’s a relief. It’s quite hard to know what to say to absolute strangers - it’s easier if they say some stuff about themselves but some don’t. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the messages I get are just bizarre and I think, ‘why would you send me that?’ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 As a bloke if I was on the receiving end of a "how are you" bumble message I'd be fine with that. Slags on tinder that have a go at the "how are you" intro can go take a flying f**k to themselves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try something like "what was the highlight of your weekend?" - they'll need to give you a specific response and that becomes a talking point which you can ask a follow up question about. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of attractive ladies, most in quite good jobs (lawyers and doctors). I've just had to swipe left on a 36 year offshore welder/sheet metal worker from Perth. f**k that.

The Real Saints Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 As men, what we have to bear in mind is the fact that women (even unattractive ones) are receiving countless messages. I’ve seen evidence of this, courtesy of female friends and co-workers. Whilst a ‘How are you?’ is perfectly sufficient for us, we are probably talking to a maximum of 3-4 women at any given time. But they simply don’t have the time to respond to all of their received messages, hence the need for us to open the conversation with something a bit more interesting. ETA: I sound like one of these ‘online dating tutorial’ people. If anyone would like any further titbits, feel free to PM me and I will provide you with further insights for a small monthly subscription fee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
