You have to actually pay a little money for a real SIM. They're all digital now. You can Google it easily. Free VoIP options have all been filtered out. I use Airalo for my international travel and they have partners that offer rotating burners that will work. It's pretty cheap.
"Bursts" is how I use OLD. Max 2-3 weeks at a time with a brand new account, and I fuck with the pictures in a photo editor (their tech scans them for dupes). In those 2 or 3 weeks I can create an entire roster that lasts 3-6mo. This keeps the newbie boost going. You absolutely need to make changes to the pictures, the simplest way is mirroring them and adding some kind of AI enhancement filter. It tricks their scanner.
However I am in a monogamous LTR now (going on 9mos) for the first time since my divorce a long time ago. She was 22 and liked ME on hinge. They're out there still.

Namely setting boundaries, frame, not continuing to hang out with her she does undesirable things and doesn't put out.
OP is acting like has no agency/can't hold frame
This company is sinking. A public company's mantra is growth. Even their woke bullshit takes a backdoor to the survival of the company. This company is dead and so is tinder. They had a decent run but they can only fake guys out for so long with their lies, bots etc. Men have stopped paying so revenues hit the crapper. Men are not ther er to provide validation. The chick's with high smv don't use this shit......farewell bumble tinder and match.....
I never understood how saying "hi" first would give "power" to someone, but Bumble now thinks it's a stupid idea
The advantage for women doing it the bumble way is that women are not inundated with messages. But they can't say that, so they pretend it's about power balance or something.
But it's sexist, so I'm amazed they've been able to do it for as long as they have.
While not completely making it so that women are only able to make the first move (as the women users have to opt in for this option), it is in essence taking away the key feature that made Bumble unique. Was this a good feature? I cannot speak from personal experience, as I never used Bumble. But it made Bumble distinct.
I really doubt this will help Bumble, as online dating in general fails to provide people with what they want, results in the form of relationships (or hookups for those playing the short term game). I see it as a combination of user expectations being too high and dating apps using a variety of deceptive techniques to keep people on the platform (e.g. numerous fake profiles to provide the illusion of having lots of options).
And when accounting for the sexes, I would see women as the more guilty party with the failure of conversion rates, as they tend to have more inflated expectations than men and refuse to compromise more often as a result. Even the least attractive women have some men messaging them with interest, and the same cannot be said for men.
In the end, I do not see things changing for Bumble, as the issues with that site are going to be there due to the very nature of online dating.

@TitusTorquatus Also, if you are willing to answer, which app? and also what made her LTR material in your eyes and how long did it take you to realize she was LTR material?
I ask because i met a bar fly once that i 101% believe was marriage material. Again, this was ONCE. I was FWB with her for 4 months but there were irreconcilable LTR and logistical differences and we were both adults about it
Saw her again at the same venue almost a year later and the energy was not only 110% cordial still, but her fondness for me was also still there, we were very, very close still
So yeah, I get that exceptions exist in otherwise sewers, but what's your explanation of you don't mind asking (over status reply or DM)
