> Never mind the practice of "Roses" in which the only way to message some women is to buy a like that costs $3.33 each. Again, in bulk you can get that down to $1.49 apiece. But what is so scummy about it is that they seem to have an algorithm that detects the most beautiful of women and locks messaging them behind the need to send roses.
Actually this is even far more anti-pattern than that. The fact the recipient knows you sent a rose signals a few things to (presumably) her:
1. You had to pay to get access to her, your ELO/Algorithm score is low enough that they app thinks your beneath her
2. You're not getting enough dates / matches that you're desperate enough that you're now paying money for what others get for free
