https://techcrunch.com/2018/02/14/tinder-to-adopt-bumbles-ladies-first-feature-in-a-future-update
Tinder will make a change to its dating app in an upcoming update that will allow women to message first, according to a report from MarketWatch this morning, which TechCrunch has also confirmed. The new option will allow women to choose when to start a conversation, but it will not be the default setting as it is in Bumble. Instead, women will be able to decide whether or not they want to enable it, we understand. This won't be mandatory like it is with Bumble, but creepy messages is one of the biggest female user complaints on Tinder, so it's safe to say many of the more attractive women will be using it. Life will be a getting a little bit harder if you're not a desirable guy pretty soon. --- - The Admiral ... Copied to Clipboard!

Meh... Tinder was always about people trying to hook up for sex. A feature that adds another layer of shallowness to something that was always shallow isn't a big loss for anyone.

Tinder was always about people trying to hook up for sex. Tinder really hasn't been that way since 2014 or so. The first few years of Tinder were the Wild West of app dating and were amazing like that, but Tinder has evolved into just a regular dating platform now that's occasionally used for hook ups.

Going to be a lot of female accounts listed as "lesbian" made to reach out to women. Women won't even see those unless they they list "female" as the gender they're seeking, though. Most women don't. TheVipaGTS posted... but my question is...this will be a feature that women can turn on...you can only message people who you match with...meaning the woman found you attractive too....so if they want to message first why is this feature necessary then? It'll be optional at first for Tinder, but it will work like it does with Bumble. Most women swipe fairly casually and only message after seeing what their matches are and reading profiles. Guys are much more likely to just spam out messages to every match and try to get laid. This will reduce that behavior. Fortunately, if you're a desirable guy who already has luck on Bumble, you'll be the cream of the crop on Tinder. --- - The Admiral ... Copied to Clipboard!

lol a lot of people are gonna be mad about this... If I had to guess, Tinder has the analytics of their userbase and they were probably losing a lot of women to bumble. Given that a dating service lives and dies by how large their woman userbase is, they probably thought that the added power would be an attractive feature. Having total control not only over who you swipe, but who among them you even choose to engage with, even if it's redundant, is attractive as a feature. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

They have been, and they've even tried to acquire Bumble to stop the loss (Bumble has had no interest in selling to them). I personally think Bumble is also a much better app in terms of UI and experience, whereas Tinder feels like some crappy pay-to-win mobile game. I don't blame people for bailing. The only decent thing about Tinder is the size of its user base. --- - The Admiral ... Copied to Clipboard!

So I'm not understanding how this is going to stop creepy messages.
They already opted in with the matching. This is a third, unnecessary opt in. How is getting said creepy message as a reply to the initial message any different?

Are women currently not allowed to message first? Right now, if two people match, either person can message first. This setting makes it so the women must message first, then a normal conversation can start. That was the gimmick that launched Bumble. HippopotamusRex posted...

But agreed, it is a better app, less frills.

People don't put a lot of thought into initial swipes, and often just mindlessly swipe right based on the first pic until they match. So guys who always swipe right will just... continue to swipe right. Only now they're gated by not only matching with females but also for the females to make the first move. In the case of matching up with multiple dudes in a spree, the female will now choose who to engage. Cuts back on the creepy openers for sure, but in terms of gaming strategy, not much has changed. (Unattractive) Incels who needed to be the first to engage are left out in the crossfire. But, if they're also the creeps then c'est la vie. KazumaKiryu posted...
