Bumble II The dates
To me, the main focus of the bumble bot was technical exploration. I wanted to wait and see how dating went,
but it was rather repetitive, and I couldn't keep up. But some of my friends, who are the only ones who read
this (I love you all and will buy drinks for each of you whenever we hang out UwU), said they wanted to know
how the dates went (I am asexual and idgaf (but I gaf and am too insecure to admit)). But more from the
Among Us perspective as opposed to how the person was in the type of situation. I will discuss the folks
without names since I didn't tell them I shall report them on the web.
Okay, so some baseline statistics. The Among Us profile got me 18 matches in 3 weeks. I collectively swiped
on 249 profiles. Loser vibes, but hey, there is nothing to be done - the only matches I got were because the
profile sometimes glitched out and showed people pictures of me (from the old profile) and didn't update to
the among us. However, I have learned that it changes to Among Us when they swipe on the glitched profile.
Damn you, Bumble, for making a shitty app that keeps glitching. So the matches and the events that followed
chronologically are:
Date 1. Rather unremarkable. She seemed preoccupied with work and wasn't curious about the Among Us (How
could she not be, blasphemy). I brought up the topic and discussed it. We spoke about how it was to move
here, rent, apartment hunting, etc. The night ended on a rather strange note when we returned to her office,
where she saw me off at the lobby cause she had to go in and finish some work.
Date 2. Not an actual date, but it was one of the positive interactions since she seemed that she was
entertained by the whole Among Us gimmick. We set up a date, but she ghosted, although I got to see the
Hokusai Exhibit again, which is always fun.
Date 3. This one was a straight bummer. Thought we got along well and stuff, had some amount of knowledge
about each other's hobbies and interests, but it didn't work out in the end. But this was the date when I
decided to start giving out little Amongi that I 3D Printed. Which turned out to be a grand success since
almost everyone that I gave it to, including some friends, liked the susy little guy. Here is a picture of the 3D-Printed
Among Us:
Date 4. Unremarkable, I wanted to leave as soon as I got there. I think this day, I was somewhat preoccupied
with other thoughts. Oddly enough, I sat in the restaurant, and all I thought about was climbing the route
of the building that we were sitting opposite. Good handholds, actually, nothing too crimpy. I even think I
could have made a dyno to a gargoyle that I saw.
Date 5. It's interesting because I am sure this is reminiscent of Date 3. But the other way around, I know
we hung out, and the conversation flowed well. But by now, I knew I was in it for the bot. Because this
week, the Bumble subscription had ended, the bot couldn't infinitely swipe on people. In addition, a good
part of me was also concerned with writing these posts, coding up the websites and putting everything out
there. Anyway, it's not her it's me, and that's how that fizzled out.
This was a relatively short update - I’m on to new things that I want to try out and shall be back - after
perhaps a long-ish hiatus with an elaborate shenanigan I have planned.
Until then, keep shenaging!
