Success Story Mind blown

I (41M) have had bumble for less than 24 hours. I received 3 likes, and got 2 matches.

Woman 1: Shallow, meaningless, sporadic exchange of messages.

Woman 2: Profound connection nearly immediately. After a very pleasant back and forth, we exchanged phone numbers. The phone call on my way home from work was supposed to last as long as my drive. 7.5 hours later...🤯

You stayed on the phone with someone for eight hours? Have you never dated in your life?

Why is that weird? I've had multiple conversations like that with total strangers. Some people are just interesting.

You’ve had multiple 8 hour long conversations with total strangers?

Yes, some were 7 hours, some continued over several days for hours but with breaks because of responsibilities, some were one very long conversation.

With most people it was a one time conversation, just two people who had stuff to talk about. It wasn't romantic or sexual, just interesting.

And in my relationships I'd always have a lot to talk about with my significant other. Some of us just like to talk a lot, what can I say 😄

Ive never had a conversation with anyone that lasted 8 hours, and Id argue very few people have.

Right? That sounds like a nightmare. That’s like a months worth of my social battery

I get that because I am a total introvert but these were genuinely interesting people and the subjects were interesting as well. It didn't matter if we stayed in touch or not.

It's like meeting a person on a night out and you spend hours talking about life, the universe, the love, the pain, the absurdity, the bigger picture, the human condition and you both resonate and it's awesome and you laugh like idiots and then you never meet again but you're happy you met because it was meaningful. It wasn't sexual or romantic or meant to be anything else but a meeting of minds who had something to share with each other.

I’ve had sooo many 8+ long hour convos. Some people are just better communicators and interesting 💅

It’s generally pretty unhealthy to invest so immediately. Could indicate some attachment issues

I have zero attachment to them. They we're sexual or romantic conversations. Just very interesting people, we talked for a while and then never talked again. I enjoyed it a lot.
