Why dont people type much on dating apps

Millions of people have signed up for Bumble to start building valuable relationships, finding friends, and making empowered connections.

Creating new connections has never been easier. Bumble is working to lift the stigma of online dating by employing unprecedented standards for respectful behavior. Because of this relentless dedication, millions of people are using Bumble to build valuable relationships every single day.

DATE, MEET FRIENDS, NETWORK

Bumble is at the forefront of matchmaking technology by providing an app that allows users to foster more than just romantic connections. The industry-leading app empowers users to swipe through potential connections across three different modes:

Bumble Date: On Bumble Date, women make the first move. We’ve changed the archaic rules of the dating game so that you can form meaningful relationships in a respectful way.
Bumble BFF: Life is better with friends. Whether you’re new to a city or looking to expand your circle, Bumble BFF is the easiest way to make new friends.
Bumble Bizz: Now we’re in business. Use Bumble Bizz to network, find mentors, and create new career opportunities.

Bumble is the first app of its kind to bring dating, friend-finding, and career-building into a single social networking platform.

CHANGING THE RULES OF THE GAME

At Bumble, women make the first move. In heterosexual matches, the woman has 24 hours to make the first move and the man has 24 hours to respond. In same-sex matches, either person has 24 hours to make the first move, while the other individual has 24 hours to respond, or else, the connection expires. By prompting our users to be bold and make the first move we’ve seen billions of messages sent to date.

THE BUZZ IS REAL

“Bumble exists to empower women...” (Fast Company)
“Bumble is just an app: but it’s changing the discussion.” (Wired)
“Bumble offers an alternative that prioritizes meaningful connections, with women calling the shots:” (UK Sunday Times)
“Bumble rejects hate speech to make users feel safe on its dating app” (Texas Standard)
“What makes Bumble different from other dating apps...is its focus on giving women all the power. ” (Business Insider)

Version 5.195.0

Let's get real, no one likes bugs. Don't worry, we've fixed them.

Matchmaking app Bumble flips traditional social norms. Here, women make the first move. Some 50 million people have used it to not only find a date but make friends and conduct business. If you don’t start chatting within 24 hours, the match disappears—encouraging you to actually talk to people.

App has flaws, only works one way

The app is great overall, however the 24hr match expiration is far too short. Most everyone I meet or know turn their notifications off bc they don’t want to be spammed with matches, especially for women with their high like and match counts. This means a lot of women will only check their dating apps once or twice a week. The app only works when she matches with me, then she sees the match starts the conversation and I can respond and keep the match. Never have I ever had a conversation go through when I make the match, it always expires, bc I can never catch them when they use the app. The match expiration either needs to be about 3 days minimum or for men making the match needs to be infinite. I’ve had dozens of matches and conversations, but only when she matches with me, so when I start a bumble account, I’m forced to use the app as much as possible until I run out of likes for the day to cycle through all the local women first to make sure they see me second and make the match, that’s annoying, match expirations need to be extended, some people like myself don’t want to start a conversation right when they match, I let it sit sometimes and get back to it later in the day or another day when I’m not busy.

Dating app or political platform?

First, I would like to say that Bumble is one of my favorite dating apps. I felt like most of my matches were legitimate and most (not all but that is out of Bumble’s control) were looking to be in either a serious relationship or truly go on a date to meet and see if there was a possibility of a connection. However, one day I went to see my matches and there was a screen asking me to pledge my allegiance to the Black Lives Matters Organization. Yes, black lives do matter! They matter a lot! (And if you saw what I do every single day to support POC-all POC-you would know that I stand by words). However, Black Lives Matter as an organization is corrupt and not one that I will support. They have not done one thing practically to support the black community (name one scholarship that they have begun for a student of color, any food banks that they have begun?) I should not be asked to support a corrupt political organization in order to continue with a DATING site. I absolutely agree to not engage in hate speech (not that I would) but do ask me to support an organization that I believe that is dividing my beloved country because I will not. Additionally, the founder of Bumble donates to the Republican Party. So, there is a disconnect between the founder of Bumble and the lady running the day-to-day operations. Do your homework Bumble. Do not ask your customers to join a political organization in order to date. That is not right.
