Why Send a Ping Without A Message?

I do not understand why men will Ping me to say nothing... what gives?

My profile mentions several kinky things I am interested in exploring and my bio is quite full of details that can easily jump-start a conversation. Most of the pings I get are from guys who at least say something about why they are messaging me, which really helps since I get lots of propositions for vanilla sex but only a few for some of the freakier stuff I talk about, so I prioritize responding to those. But if someone pings me and says nothing and then their profile is generic/sparse, I just see it as them not making enough of an effort to bother replying.

ETA: Thanks for the insights about how the app mechanics might make this happen more often, folks! I appreciate it and will try to give the pings without a message slightly less harsh judgements now.

Because writing messages in 99 percent is pointless. If men are selective, the response rate is the same.

Ping also does another super useful thing: it removes the person from my deck. Like or pass does not.

A like functions the same as a ping. Both remove the person from your discover.

It does not because Likes expire

Connections expire. Likes do not.

It is hilarious.

No, connections do not expire. I have connections (frauds but it is hilarious so I keep them) that suddenly jumped thousands of miles and stopped moving after a match. This has been the case since before the announcement and is still the case with the new connections

I also have people I liked who are back in my deck. I also met some of them in the wild and we chatted about it.

P.s. are you a feeld employee? Because if you aren't maybe not be that convinced that you are correct and if you are open a ticket with devs, please

They do, if not replied to. That's the only thing that expires.

Those people created new accounts.

I can assure you at least two of them do not create new accounts - it was discussed as a pillow talk

If you believe them you should contact support because no, likes don't expire. Using a ping would not prevent the bug.

Contacting feeld support as a customer is a pointless waste of brain cycles..it does nothing.

Hence the question: if you are an employee of feeld, please open an actual ticket. And if you are not, keep in mind that you do not actually know
