Bumble is an app where the woman has to message first after a match.Excellent, thanks. I see how I missed it before. My phone is a bigger faggot than I am, and half the time the attachment stays blank even when 100% loaded, but I can retry and eventually see those buttons.

His teeth are almost the color of his shirt.
They have "ambassadors":
The women message first dynamic doesn't work for gay guys or lesbians for obvious reasons, so for them it's a tinder clone. So they seem to have had some gay guys as #BumblePartners a couple of years back to promote it for gay guys (they had a short lived gay dating app called Chappy in the UK, so it's a market they obviously want to break into).
which are "Honeys" or "Queen Bees":We hand-select the most talented tastemakers and change-seekers around the world (in 15 countries to be exact) to join our elite program of move-making marketers. Their mission? Embody Bumble and help spread our brand mission at their university or in their city.
(Honeys are the same thing for University campuses). Essentially they get hot women/influencers to act as low-rent marketing/events coordinators in certain cities, and the whole thing is very Yas Kween #girlbossAs a Queen Bee, you will become the voice and the heart of Bumble in your community. You’ll play an incredibly important role in helping us build Bumble into what it’s meant to be: a movement for social change.
As a Queen Bee, you’ll be the face of Bumble in your city. You’ll become the “It Girl” with all the swag. You’ll use your master-marketing mind to create the best partnerships, guerrilla marketing, events, and everyday small-talk to challenge women in your community to make the first move. The Queen Bee is focused on building a community founded on women’s empowerment (and of course, Bumble.)
The women message first dynamic doesn't work for gay guys or lesbians for obvious reasons, so for them it's a tinder clone. So they seem to have had some gay guys as #BumblePartners a couple of years back to promote it for gay guys (they had a short lived gay dating app called Chappy in the UK, so it's a market they obviously want to break into).
They relaunched #BumblePartners in 2020 to shill their "virtual date" feature and were pushing it with comedy and beauty/fashion microinfluencers but now they seem to have been refocusing on the woke crowd (and separately, dudebro hype house types) to do sponsored posts (and shill merch for some reason).
So you've got this plus size influencer engaging for example:
(notice Sander in the comments) and then the Sway House guys:
Thus presenting the extremely haram Sander TikTok:
He has managed to fuck this up, though. Him being chronically single isn't necessarily bad because they've got a few of these "lol I am chronically single" memers suggesting that Bumble will finally help you find the one. The reason he's fucked it up is he said "I'm ready to make the first move", quoting the slogan on the shirt.
But that's the slogan for women. Only women can make the first move, unless you're a gay man. So either he has done literally zero research into the product he's supposed to be promoting (great marketing, Sander), or the PR woman who reached out to him scrolled through his TikToks and just assumed he was gay so gave him the gay guy brief.
The wink at the end triggered my fight or flight reflex.
