    Bumble is humuliating and outright discriminating for men. Yes I'm aware of the the flood of matches and of unwanted messages the women receive. Revoking the message right to every male user is not the answer.

    In Poland, Czechia, or even Germany - yes. In Italy and Spain they're lucky if even have a developer job and that would be considered a good salary. 1200 for shop assistant is rather unlikely.
