A male user on the dating app Bumble discovered the hard way that mistreating women doesn’t lead to successful connections. After throwing a bizarre tantrum, he was banned from the platform for bullying a female user named Sarah.
Many of us have encountered the troubling trend of men harassing women online, particularly on dating apps. This unfortunate reality is one of the reasons Bumble was created: to empower women by putting them in control of the dialogue. On this platform, women make the first move, allowing them to avoid unwanted messages from men they are not interested in.
The Conversation
The conversation between Sarah and Connor started innocently enough. While having a slow day at work, Sarah shared her experience with Connor and casually inquired about his job—a common small-talk question. However, Connor quickly escalated the conversation into hostility. In just a few messages, he managed to insult Sarah, her career, her education, and even Beyoncé, displaying a clear disregard for respectful communication.
“I don’t see anything nice about you prying into my career without even getting to know me as a person first,” Connor wrote, revealing his lack of understanding about basic social interactions. Isn’t learning about someone’s career part of getting to know them? As the dialogue continued, it became evident that Connor had very specific—and misguided—expectations about how women should communicate with him.
To summarize, Connor was upset that Sarah asked him a typical question that anyone might pose to a potential partner or new acquaintance. Yet, he expressed frustration that she didn’t already know his job from his profile. This leads one to wonder if Connor has ever considered seeking help for his anger issues.
Sarah’s Response
Despite Connor’s aggressive behavior, Sarah maintained her composure and responded thoughtfully. Unfortunately, this only fueled his rage further. If “gold-digging whores” is a phrase you commonly use, it’s clear you’re not ready for a healthy relationship. While Connor may have a lucrative career, it seems he could benefit from some psychological support instead.
In a bold move, Bumble took to their blog to explain the modern concept of working women to Connor. They emphasized that many women today have careers, and Sarah’s inquiry wasn’t about assessing his financial status but rather engaging in a conversation as equals. They cleverly pointed out that people often connect over life’s everyday routines—like work, weather, and dining out.
Bumble’s Action
In light of his inappropriate comments, Bumble banned Connor from the app, preventing him from harassing any more women.
