Smh, what is this crap?

I (30sF) texted this cute guy who matched with me on cmb and I had texted him an icebreaker first last Tuesday. I didn't hear back, so I assumed he wasn't interested, so I moved on. Then this Monday I received his reply. Thinking "oh boy, guess I'm just a backup option" I went to see the chat, and it turns out he texted me last Wednesday!! I JUST GOT THE TEXT. Does this happen to anyone else? Damnit, bugs be ruining my dating prospects!

I just wanted to know. I’ve used Hinge before, and the men I encountered there often seemed to be interested only in hookups or weren’t honest about their relationship goals. I’m looking to date with real intentions, that’s all.

Damn, I love researching things before I try them, but damn. Recently widowed after 35+ yrs, and...I think it might be safer to turn into a crazy cat lady. (Have a 2 cat head start). Is this what dating is like now? It is interesting to watch, like the Fremont Solstice Parade. Just curious.

I (M) was chatting with someone on a dating app, and the conversation was going pretty well. We exchanges tens messages in a few days. She mentioned she was heading on vacation for two weeks. The last thing I asked her was a semi-deep question and wish her safe travel.

She didn’t reply and the app has closed the chat. Now it’s been a few days she should have returned (assuming the timeline she mentioned was accurate). I’m thinking whether it’s weird or inappropriate to reopen it.

I know people get busy pre- and post-travel. Should I just leave it be, or is it okay to message her again?

For context, I’m a male and very picky on who I match with. I never had paid for a premium feature on any dating app ever since I thought it was never worth getting and looking at recent posts on here I think I was right haha. About a week ago, I randomly was able to see who likes me for a day and I saw a girl that not only I was physically attracted to, but her prompts were exactly what I was looking for in terms of ideals, morals, and values. Fast forward now, the likes me tab is blurred again and I see that the person that liked me has disappeared… I assumed that eventually I would be able to her on my suggested tab but cmb never seems to show anyone that likes me back on there.. is this usually the case when someone either deletes or pauses their account? i just emailed cmb support to see if anything that can be done, but logically I don’t think anything would be possible… feels like I missed out on a potential life partner because I didn’t pay for premium 🥲. I hyu cmb

This is my first time using this app and I matched with someone who liked me. Will they be able to start a conversation first if I don't start the conversation after I accepted the match? Or do I have to start the conversation first because I accepted the match? (If this makes any sense at all, lol)

Does CMB shadowban

I am traveling to Taiwan and have a US phone number for CMB. Do I need to get a Taiwan phone number to use CMB in taiwan?

Don’t you notice that there are a lot of scammers in CMB? I’m not sure about men’s experience but I’m a female and I’m tired talking with scammers. It’s easy to spot them because the way they message is too romantic, doesn’t sound real.

Its like the app has given up and is sunsetting

The question is; is it just me? Is it everybody? Or is it A/B testing?

Bringing it back is 100% a good (pro-consumer) thing even if the profiles like you aren't your jam because at very least you aren't being jebaited into purchasing premium. Want to know what y'all experiences are before I change my review score.

Update: Looks like it has reverted to obscured profiles for me. Sorry everyone, looks like it was just an AB test. I hope the data shows positive use cases (for me it was being able to clear out my likes you tab of non-mutuals) and that the devs choose to make it standard again.

But I'm not holding my breath.

Not trying to be offensive but I mostly see out of shape and over weight women. Hinge had better matches. Some of the filters don’t work. The suggestions are not even remotely a match. So far has been pretty disappointing. About to delete my profile and go back to hinge. Any tips on adjusting settings or are you having a similar experience?

I get the notification but when I check my daily batch it just shows the timer that counts down until the next day.. I haven’t seen anybody in 2 days now?

basically the title. thanks

I got a good number of matches and I use the app for a day, then I get this error "We're brewing a few updates" for a few days!

Does anyone know what's going on with the app?

I’m confused why I need to upload my personal ID ? I know you want to verify me as “real person” but I think there’s other method than wanting my government information.

Also!

When I tried to give them my Asian ID it won’t accept it because it is not “correct” or something.

Now my account is frozen and I’m really considering to just request my data back.

Anyone have the same problem?

I'm trying to get back into online dating after a hiatus, given I needed to get settled in my new job.

Previously, I'd gotten a couple matches over the course of about a year on CMB for free. Since I have some actual money now I figured that I could afford Platinum. All boost, all the time, etc.

I enjoyed unlimited swiping for all of maybe 10 minutes before I ran out of new people to view. The experience since then has remained mostly the same as the free version: I get a new batch at noon, which is maybe 10 people at best, and then I swipe.

The idea that I should expand my preferences is extra insulting given that they're a Platinum feature. I was really looking forward to being able to mark a couple basic things as dealbreakers.

Even worse, despite having Boost constantly on, I have no likes at all.

Been on the CMB on the Premium plan. The experience has not been good.
Most of the matches are fake accounts.
Occasionally I get a match with a real person thats not out to scam, and chats decently.
Today I met up with this girl, and got cat fished again!!! Grrrr....
3rd f#cking time.....
Why do they do this!? Why would you use a cat fish picture to meet a guy!? (rhetorical question)
Do they think the guy won't notice or care when they meet in person!?
What a shite awful awkward coffee date. I drank 1/2 my coffee and said it was nice to met her and left. What a waste of time....
CMB needs to do something screen out these fake photoshopped pics

I live in Asia. I need to update my worldwide version but i am part of the US App Store. What’s the work around for this.

When i go to the worldwide version, it says i have to update. When i select update it says it’s not available.

I feel like the proper way for CMB would be have people with +1 be able to use worldwide version but people without +1 cannot use North America version.

Today when checking the app, the suggested throw 2 guys that liked my profile. I like them back but don't really know what to say or to do with this chat room.

For context : This is my first time using Dating app and I'm not 100% sure I "Like" them, they seems okay profile wise tho.

Should I just ignore the chat room and wait till it expired ? If you are matched will the other person know ?
Is this count as ghosting ?!!

Any other suggested apps?

Matched with a girl, then CMB suggested an ice breaker "two truths, one lie".

So I wrote:

1. Just go a passport for this country
2. Got Bell's Palsy 2 weeks ago
3. Here to just play.

She said 1.

I wrote back, "It was 3. Funnily I was born in this country but grew up in another. And only just did the paper work to get my citizenship. How about you?".

Within a few minutes, my app was frozen, and it said someone 'reported' me as fake and I had to identify myself; which I did (with that new passport).

Sadly, when I regained access, the girl was unmatched.

Anyway, anything I say or do that warrants that kind of action? I thought my conversation was perfectly normal and playful. Wonder why they immediately decided to report me. I mean.... whaat?

I just got the app yesterday. Is there a way to see these profiles without paying? Will it eventually show up (if so where)?

CMB was nice at first some years ago. I did manage to talk to a few people, and even managed to make a first date. But after a while, I wasn’t getting ANY likes or matches, got discouraged, and deleted my CMB account and erased the app from my phone.

After some time passed, I decided to give CMB another shot and re-downloaded it. But every time I enter my phone number and verification code, I get this screen message saying that my account is “frozen due to community guideline violations.”

For the life of me, I don’t know if my account was hacked or if this is some sort of mistake on CMB’s part. They say that if I think this is a mistake, then I can contact their support team—and I have. But their response was very vague and half-assed.

Has anyone been dealing with this issue as well?
