Well, I guess I'm not welcome on Bumble anymore.

For the non-bachelors on the beeb, "Bumble" is a dating app.

It's like Tinder for the most part. The difference is, when you match with someone on Bumble, the girl has to initiate the conversation, and only has 24 hours to do so. It's actually a cool app and I've met a couple of nice girls on it.

Welp, I'm out. I was at the airport yesterday and opened the app out of boredom. This is the first thing I saw:

 

Time to start a weapons friendly site to compete...call it Rumble.

 

I'd call it Gunble.

 

It's idiotic. My favorite part is the disclaimer, "Excluding military and law enforcement in uniform"

So I can't post a picture of me holding a gun I use for hunting or hobby, but guns issued and intended for killing humans are okay? Got it.

Funny thing is, I had no gun photos because I don't see it as defining who I am in any meaningful way. As soon as I got that message I immediately uploaded this:



Stand by for the results.

 

Liberal chodes.....

 

Threw in this one too, just so when someone says I have pictures with "machine guns" they won't be wrong.

 

Perhaps I misunderstood the phrase, "I had no gun photos."

 

I don't understand taking a political stance against a dating app...

You're going to deprive yourself of a potential relationship because you disagree with the politics of the app creator? That's like walking past a bar full of college gymnasts on spring break, because the owner has a "I'm with HER" sticker on the wall.

It's a stupid PR stunt, and you just propagated it for them.

 

Nope, On the app I HAD none. Now I have two.

 

I just think it's stupid and shortsighted. I have no issue with business people promulgating their individual political ideologies, I'm just choosing not to interact with those who censor photos of perfectly safe and legal behavior simply because they don't understand it.

Funny how half the photos on the app are of people drinking alcohol, which kills a lot more people than guns, and nobody says a word.

Besides, I'm not in a relationship currently and I don't feel terribly deprived.

 

AH, virtue signaling....the Madison Avenue trick of the decade. I'd wish they would rediscover the old trick of putting pretty girls in mini skirts as a way of attracting business. Now THAT was a Madison Avenue gold mine!

 

I saw this on the news today and thought about how stupid it is. Now a girl can't weed out guys based on their gun pics. She'll have no idea what she is getting herself in to now. At least before, she could make a judgement call based on the pics.

Edit:
Charge your phone! My OCD is triggering!

 

Okay, I got to ask, why would you feel a need to post a photo of your AR15 or Glock on a site where you're trying to pick up chicks (or dudes)?

"I'm 27, Crossfit enthusiast, cycle (SHARE THE ROAD!!!!), collect stamps and like long walks in the rain. Here's a photo of me in tactifool wear with an AK47!"

 

So what you're saying is, the ability to look at guns is more important than getting laid?


Alrighty then

 

I agree with you there - but why do you think you're so valuable to bumble? The app works on the assumption that WOMEN will use it to initiate contact with the relatively 'disposable' male population that uses dating apps.

 

No idea but I’ve actually seen a bunch of chicks with gun pics.

I threw a racing picture on there because, well, duh.

 

How dare you? I’m a catch.

 

Yeah, the one where you club it on the head with an oar, take the hook out, club it on the head a few more times and chuck it back.

 

We just threw those in the middle of the road for the cars to take care of growing up.
