  • One thing I’ll say about the old model was that out of all the dating apps, Bumble was the only one where every woman who I met or even just messaged with could hold a conversation. That one requirement of them reaching out first set the bar, and I knew they were making the choice to speak to me out of all the other guys they were drowning in. I ended up with more dates through Bumble than any other app, and even made great friends with some people I didn’t romantically click with. Online dating is awful, or was for me, but Bumble was the least awful one of the bunch. The new model sounds not so great.




  • Which qualities would you like to improve?

    I use a regular Pixel 6 pro, but there are a few things I keep around to improve the q.o.l. for using android itself.

    • Nova launcher to simplify things a bit and give me more search engine options

    • Firefox as my default browser with ad blocking add-ons to maintain some sanity

    • Solid Explorer to do file system stuff

    Built in stuff:

    • Bedtime mode is a nice reminder to stop and go to bed

    • Focus mode is nice to stop casual social app usage according to a schedule

    • Flip to Shhh is great for… shushing. When flipped.

    • Do Not Disturb is my default mode. Only to be turned off when I’m actively awaiting interaction.

    • Notifications turned off for almost everything, always.
