Young man is blocked from dating app after flipping out on lady over a simple question

It all began with the usual small talk until Ashley asked the fellow on the other end - named Connor - about work, he completely lost his cool. The dating site administrators took a dim view of his tantrum and banned him. See the rest of the convo and a letter to Connor, after the cut...



An open letter to Connor, from Bumble
"It has been brought to our attention that you lost your cool on one of our female users named Ashley. She made small talk, you felt personally attacked. She mentioned her work day and asked about yours; you assumed that she was prying into your financial status.
We are going to venture a guess into the state of mind of Ashley here, given that we are all working women ourselves. Take a seat, because this concept may blow your mind. Women nowadays work. It’s happened over time, we know, but a vast majority of women from our generation have jobs.
With that in mind — and knowing that Ashley simply mentioned work in the conversation — we can gather that she wasn’t hoping to figure out if your wallet was sizeable enough for her to move into your house and start cooking dinner for you after vacuuming your living room while you clock in a 9 to 5 work day.
Instead, Ashley was (wait for it, Connor, because this is where things really get interesting), viewing herself as an equal. It might sound crazy, but people connect over the basic routines of life. You know… the weather, working out, grabbing a drink, eating, and working.
And while you may view this as “neo-liberal, Beyonce, feminist-cancer,” and rant about the personal wounds you are trying to heal from classic “entitled gold digging whores,” we are going to keep working.
We are going to expand our reach and make sure that women everywhere receive the message that they are just as empowered in their personal lives as they are in the workplace. We are going to continue to build a world that makes small-minded, misogynist boys like you feel outdated.
"We are going to hope that one day, you come around. We hope that the hate and resentment welling up inside of you will subside and you’ll be able to engage in everyday conversations with women without being cowardice to their power. But until that day comes, Connor, consider yourself blocked from Bumble."

  8. I think the dude was right but handled the woman the wrong way and ended up becoming ridiculed... The woman was most likely prying into his life as is d nature of most women when they seea rich profile... They find it difficult to look beyond the cash and shamelessly pry into the dude's cash.... Unfortunately he lost his cool which is understandable giving the feminist the opportunity to sting him... It's useless losing your cool over women just let them embarrass themselves and then you can show them to the world instead if blowing your handle and making them ridicule you to the world... The dude was actually right here but he did it the wrong way making him look guilty and the opportunistic feminist right... Men have to be smart when dealing with women cos they're a misguided lot....

    1. Me thinks it was 2 early in the conversation to start asking about his job. My 2 cents. It was probably one of her vetting processes. Identify job status and engage/disengage . Hehehe (no dulling)

  20. joblesness is the cause.

    if girls could find jobs online and get engaged with they wont ask for work status to date a guy

  21. Funny enough I agree with this dude but he over reacted and handled the matter in the wrong way by being rude and disrespectful.First thing ladies be asking is: what do you do, forgetting the need to know the character and true personality of the guy.

  22. Hi dear all,

    I hope you are all well.Now I am sharing a good job with all.Dating can happen for people in most age groups with the possible exception of children. Teenagers and tweens have been described as dating; according to the CDC, three-quarters of eighth and ninth graders in the United States described themselves as "dating", although it is unclear what is exactly meant by this term.To know more about dating please visit-dating

    Wellcome to visit us
