I have it selected because alot of non-binary people in my area present as girls, which is what Im into. But the non-binary option also gives way to people with giant beards and hairy chests trying to match with me, and Im absolutely not looking for that.

There has to be a better way for Bumble and other dating apps to handle this dilemma besides simply not selecting non-binary. Being open to non-binary people doesnt automatically make you bi-sexual for christs sake.

Just dont click on a gamefaqs topic if youre not interested in the complaint.

See we can both play this game.

Well, I clicked expecting a better complaint. What is the solution? I want people who look like women? That is a dangerous path for them to take...

Let me clarify. I would be missing out on a potential match with this person if I had not selected non-binary when they are totally my type. This is what Im saying.

Im aware that youre trying to pick a fight and use a straw-man to attack me. But Ill play along.

Just because someone identifies as non-binary doesnt mean you should find someone attractive (or not find someone attractive). Im obviously attracted to feminine features which is why I prefer the person the left as opposed to the person on the right.

Oh. I thought this was going to be about how dating apps suck if you're nonbinary

I think I tried to sign up for tinder or one of those apps years ago, it let you identify as nonbinary but then made you pick if you want to show up in searches for men or women -_- essentially just an option so tinder can appear Woke while assigning you a binary gender anyway. Nonbinary people can look like literally anything, so you are going to have to accept that if you want afab femme nonbinary people too

If you select non-binary you should be able to select ideal face-type so you can further specify your preferences, which Tinder could do ML to solve, through their profile pictures.

Take off NB filter. You have a clear demarcation of what you're after -- if you seek an NB girl just because she presents as a girl, she's gonna find out, and you're gonna look like the bad guy.

I was gonna say, he should just swipe on women only cause that's what I do and I see fem enbys anyway. I guess this explains why it's like that but that's dumb. So you can choose your gender and what gender(s) you want to swipe on, but neither one sounds like it does anything at all? Or well it gets you masc enbys but not cis men (in TC's case).

The only thing I could think of is their backends are so outdated that the gender options are still stored as binaries, like male = true and female = false or something. That would be a pretty dumb way to write software though even if you did believe in the gender binary

You could get rid of everything and change it to

fem presenting, masculine presenting or (fem/masc)

and then add top/bottom/vers

Possibly add tags for body types, maybe animal themed.

I wish my device that connects me immediately to billions of people around the world and has multiple apps that make it easier for me to get laid and/or find companionship wasn't so god damn inconvenient.

Im just fuckin with you. But....come on bro. The fact this is the complaint you're having in life right now is a gigantic blessing.

All this type of stuff reminds me of that Louie C.K. bit where everyone is doing these amazing things but their immediate entitlement to everything makes them miserable. Nobody is not doing it, but some do it more.

Thanks for the clarification, I was thinking you just wanted cis women but your logic makes perfect sense, its not like youre expected to be attracted to all non-binary people just because youre open to dating to those who identify as such

I treaded lightly on these posts earlier, but anyone who continues spewing this can honestly fuck right off.

The non-binary option essential eliminates preferences all together because you can literally look like the most feminine woman or the most masculine man and you both fall under the umbrella of non-binary if thats what you identify as. It equates being open to feminine presenting non-binary people to being bisexual or pansexual.

I know the follow up to this is going to be something stupid like well then dont select the non-binary option, as if solves the essence of the issue Im bringing up. Alot of you are acting dense as fuck.
