Is this a statement on how many women get matches compared to men? They can't manage them all at once so they have to have the ability to empower a man to talk? I don't get this, why would you swipe someone you didn't want to speak with. Save them for later, when your through with the dead ends?
Maybe I'm just out of touch with the online dating scene.
If you swipe left on someone, you can't go back and change your mind. They are gone until the algorithm decides to match you again hours/days/weeks later.
You don't automatically get feedback for all of your swipes either. If the other person hasn't come across your profile yet (because of their distance/age restrictions, or because they haven't logged in), you have no way of knowing, ever, if you were either ignored or passed over.
The only feedback you get is when you match (get a notification), or swipe right on someone who already swiped right on you (get an immediate notification). You might swipe on dozens or hundreds of people before getting a few matches, depending on population density and the attractiveness your profile displays. If you do all your swiping at odd times (at breakfast or bored at 2AM), you might pick up your phone 8 hours later to find a dozen matches waiting for you. You can't talk to them all simultaneously, it's foolish to try. So you rank, sort, and reach out.
As long as the matches don't delete then I wholeheartedly support this service and even prefer it. It's great not having to think of something witty to say in order to compete with all her other matches (just being honest). But Bumble's biggest thing is the match deletes after a day, forcing people to open the app everyday so they don't lose matches. That sucks.
The inability to carelessly match stack is something people actually like though. It forces people to "let go" of matches they have no real intention of dating, so those people reenter the pool, making the amount of unhitched people larger.
I'd rather know for a fact that a girl had no interest in me after a day then wait a few days, send her a message, and she ignores it forever. Saves everyone time and energy.
