BEHAVIORALDATING
Scripted Response Cadence on Bumble
Messages answer the general topic but not the specific thing just said, with phrasing resembling earlier messages too closely. On Bumble, where the dominant catfish pattern is scripted opening lines reused across many first-message accounts, this tactic is a common companion to that pattern. Bumble supports live video calling in-app, so a live call is the fastest way to test for this tactic directly.
