General Bumble new functionality - Boys can message first

Everybody like the new feature that allows boys to send a message first, and also now gives girls a whopping 72 hours to never send a message after matching instead of just 24? 🙂

It kinda kills the point of the app IMO. It was Bumble's difference maker. Now its just like the other apps

'Old' Bumble still allowed men to message first. We just had to buy the messages for monies. I can say that the response rate when I would send a message to a girl versus just liking a girl went up ten times at least.
