In a striking example of how online harassment can backfire, a male user of the dating app Bumble found himself banned after throwing a fit over a simple question. This unfortunate individual, who we’ll call Rick, learned the hard way that bullying is not a winning strategy when trying to connect with women. His ban came after staff discovered he was mistreating a female user named Emma.

Bumble was created to combat the plethora of harassment women often face on dating platforms. The app aims to empower women by allowing them to control the conversation, ensuring they make the first move and sparing them from unwanted messages from men they aren’t interested in.

The exchange started innocently enough when Emma, having a slow day at work, asked Rick about his job—a typical small talk question. However, Rick quickly spiraled into a hostile tirade. Within just a few messages, he managed to insult Emma, her career, and even Beyoncé, while making sweeping negative comments about women in general.

“I don’t see anything nice about you prying into my career without even getting to know me as a person first,” Rick huffed. Wait, what? Isn’t learning about someone’s job part of getting to know them? As the conversation unfolded, it became clear that Rick harbored unrealistic expectations about how women should interact with him.

To sum it up, Rick was furious that Emma asked him a question that anyone would ask—a question he had even included in his profile. It’s safe to say he might benefit from some anger management classes. Emma, on the other hand, maintained her composure and responded thoughtfully, which only seemed to incense Rick further. If “gold-digging whores” is a phrase in your regular vocabulary, it’s probably time to reevaluate your readiness for a relationship.

In a brilliantly crafted open letter on their blog, Bumble took the opportunity to explain to Rick the concept of working women. “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,” the letter humorously points out. “With that in mind, and knowing that Emma 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,” it continues.

While Rick continues to blame Beyoncé and feminism for his personality flaws, Bumble decided to ban him from the app, preventing him from harassing any more women.
