Tinder's parent company, Match Group, wants to acquire Bumble, which rejected a $450 million offer from Match Group last year. Match Group appears to be forcing the issue with a patent infringement lawsuit:
Match Group, the online dating company that owns services like Tinder and Match.com, wants to buy Bumble, another popular dating app that lets women make the first move.
But Match may be trying to push the deal along in an unconventional way: A new patent infringement lawsuit filed late Friday in U.S. District court in Waco, Texas.
Match Group is suing Bumble, which was founded by one of Tinder's co-founders, for infringing on two of its patents, including a design patent for Tinder's now-famous swipe-to-connect feature, according to the suit.

FWIW, while the number of responses I got on match was abysmal, the only woman that wrote back was actually a real woman actually looking for somebody. Unfortunately, she wasn't looking hard enough to find time for anybody.
As opposed to okcupid where I'd get a ton of responses back and probably a first date about 1 out of every 10 contacts that I initiated, but never a second date. Well, with women, the first man I messaged resulted in a date and I could have gotten a second one if I had wanted to. He was great, but I realized that dating men wasn't really where I wanted to be going at the time.
Really, dating depends a great deal on their being people worth dating out there. Here in Seattle the women are some of the worst anywhere in the world when it comes to dating. There are worse women, but not by much. Even the ugly ones are narcissistic and selfish as hell. Up until they hit their late 30s and realize that the music has stopped and the men are mostly already taken or no longer willing to deal with women's bullshit.
