NPR – Women No Longer Have to Make the First Move on Bumble
In a recent NPR interview, Damona shared her insights on Bumble’s latest update: Women no longer have to make the first move!
With the introduction of Opening Moves, Bumble is shifting the dynamics of online dating, offering female users a new way to initiate conversations without the pressure of always making the first move. This is after years of their policy of women having to make the first move.
“But the unintended result of that was that women started to feel burdened by having to think of what to say, having to always keep the conversation going,” Hoffman said.
This change not only empowers women but also addresses the growing issue of dating-app fatigue. As Damona highlights, this innovation reflects a broader trend in the dating world, where platforms are adapting to meet the evolving needs of their users.
