Am I crazy? Are we off-base here?
One of our rules is before we start exchanging too much info or xxx pics is to enter into a group chat.
Soooo many people (men) push HARD against this. Why??
(Because they're liars or cheaters)
It is 2023. The two of you really only have a shared Bumble or Reddit account? I don't care that you made the account together and both use it. Make another one.
Reddit, Kik, Snap, Telegram, WhatsApp, TextNow, TextFree, Google messages...
Plenty of ways for 4 ppl to find common ground to communicate.
Please tell me other couples have this rule?
As the male half I most of the initial communication, and I much prefer group chats with the 4 of us. When I get a message from a "husband" I always say that I need some sort of verification his wife is real and an active participant before I add my wife to any group chats or exchange any pics. When I say that, suddenly a lot of their wives are on business trips in the African jungle where there is no cell service and they have no pictures of their spouse at all. Weird.
In the same boat here with my wife, she's annoyed when people want her to join a group chat. She just has zero interest in the chatting aspects, doesn't care to be involved in the filtering and vetting. She wants to know the bullet points of the important details, wants to see verification photo(s) and that's it.
I've come to understand that for couples that are really pushing for the group chat thing it's likely just not going to work - if it's really a good match otherwise I'll prod her to get involved.
It all comes down to prior experiences - she used to be super into it, before she realized that 95% of the time it's a waste of her time or it just gets her hopes up for another failed connection. She doesn't handle the lack of success in matching/meeting as well as I do :D
At the end of the day I don't have any issues with this approach, we operate in a similar manner where if another couple balks at doing a verification photo/live photo on snap/kik/etc, we just move on. We realize that it's not always a case of cheater or fake or collector, some couples just don't see it as something they're concerned about or don't want to take the time or whatever other reason... likely to not be a good fit for other reasons is the way I see it.
Our page is chocked full of pictures. And I'm more than happy to provide regular photos of us together. Typically guys who are on the up and up have no issue doing the same. It's as easy as hey, here's a picture of us.
