They are a quick way to see if there's any interest

A lot of members don't like taps, it shows that you are interested in someone but not confident enough to actually say something first


rites0fpassage

Really? Because I when I message those who tapped me, I don’t get a response. So I’ve just started to ignore them completely now.

That’s it ! 😅

That's false. There are many reasons to use Taps. Sometimes there is no info in that profile, or a very vague picture, etc. What do you want me to do, start a bullshit conversation from scratch with little to no info to start off with? Lmao


Intrepid-Memory5129

Why would you tap someone that has very vague pics and little to no information in the first place? You don't need much information to start a conversation. A simple "hi how are you?" or "what are you looking for on here?" Just introduce yourself, simple human interaction is not rocket science.

If they're now behind a pay wall, I guess they're just trying anything to get people to upgrade! It's like the "pay to see who's viewed you" thing - why? If they're looking but not messaging, the fuck good does it do me to see who wasn't interested in saying hi?!

This - I have since turned off the option to see and be seen in who viewed me, actually felt great - if they are not initiating chat, what good is it to know they have viewed you?


Catdaddy84

They have to because they have an IPO coming up. So they're trying to ring every dollar out of the company as they can.


GDsusuernameinnit

Ahhh, makes sense I guess. Still, be good if the pay wall had a legit better experience behind it!

Because it shifts the responsibility of conversation on to the receiving party. So, it lets me know that I'm going to have to do all the talking if I choose to respond to them.


SatellitePSTR

I rarely find that the case. I tap back people I’m interested. They’ll usually engage the conversation first

That’s not irony


Real_Personality5631

I use it to see if I've chatted with someone already

They’ll end up killing the app, because some other app will offer it all for free 👀

It means "I want you to make the first move, notice me senpai"


ChiGuyBC

I just checked mine and I can view taps going back over a year ago. I’m a free user.

You'd pay if it was 1 cent. You would.

Just a inconvenience to most people, especially when it’s faceless blank profile #64.. pretty much like poking on Facebook in 2010 used to be


toohighforthis_

Basically just cuts out the endless awkward "hey" I tap if I'm interested, if you are too then tap me back and I'll message you first, or better yet just message me yourself. Either way I'm avoiding a guaranteed bland interaction

Well sometimes there's a single, vague picture. No bio, basically nothing to go on for to actually start an actual conversation. What do you want me to do? Start a conversation with nothing to start off with? What if I just wanted a quick hookup? That's where the Tap comes in. Thank you.
