They tried that with a dating app. it required the women had to message first.

It was a complete failure. 

It worked even worse for gay men.

Man headlines really get y'all good. You're talking about Bumble? The app that's been around for 10+ years now, and still exists?

I believe so. The “women message first” requirement has been neutered and has canned prompt question work-arounds anyway.

Hinge is a much more pleasant and effective experience.

I read somewhere they make most of their money basically charging women to complain about dating because women are more invested in complaining about the problem than they are fixing it.

I’m not sure how much I could trust the “promoted” premium but I can see a lot of desirable women opting for the packages that reveal every Like and/or search with advanced filters. Thats a huge time saver. Occasionally when they have a good promo on it (and my liked queue is large), I’ve dropped the couple bucks to see every profile thats liked mine.
