Dudes on dating apps will respond to anything, including AI-generated nonsense
You already knew this, but there are more men than women on dating apps. And the majority of women still using them have migrated to newer, more woman-friendly dating apps like Bumble and Coffee Meets Bagel, which don’t allow random men to send them unwanted messages.
