I'm not entirely sure what to make of this dating app. I think the first time I heard of it was because a friend who was crushing on a guy at that time found out that he met a girl through this app. She was making fun of the name- coffee meets bagel. Corny, she said. I thought it made sense. How else would you have your bagel? Without coffee? Absurd.
The second time it cropped up was when I was in London and a friend recommended the app because I told her some of my encounters with guys from Tinder. Apparently, it retains less of a 'hook up' impression compared to Tinder she divulged. I checked it out, but realized the service was only available in the states. Oh well.
So, the third time came around recently. We were chatting, Lily and I, about anything and everything. This time though, it was I who mentioned about cmb. I figured we had nothing to lose.
One picture. Some words. My profile is skeletal. But, that's exactly how I prefer it.
However, the bagels I've been offered thus far have fleshed out profiles. The first seemed playful until I saw his last picture- one of him holding a (toy?) handgun. Nope. The second was below the age range I prefer so an automatic pass. I just was not physically attracted to the third one at all. "I appreciate my date... is down to earth and always smiling" ??? Hell no. Fourth one didn't strike me as interesting at all.
And then, I was offered five! extra bagels in addition to my fourth. What a steal. First of five was a decent guy, just not my type. Second of five seemed to be my type ish but as Lily pointed out, he referred to himself as ... "Tall, white and handsome" Ugh. Third and fourth of five were easy passes. Last of five did make me chuckle a bit with his answer under "I appreciate when my date... Shows up" And yet, it was still a pass.
