So, the evidence is in and it's starting to look like women are horrible at dating.

If men didn't make all the effort, there'd be a hell of a lot of lonely pussy out there.

Yeah I'm not sure what's up - I'm thinking this is more for maybe semi-famous people or instagram famous people. Like I mentioned alot of these girls are in the fashion industry - now that I think about it there was some girls in TV media also.

The girls will be so picky that they'll never get matches I'd bet, doesn't hurt to have this supplement your online game.

Since 8/25 I've got one match, an SJW, we talked a bit, then got matched with a semi cute Mexican girl.

I've swiped almost everything that was on there. I have a feeling there are a lot of fake profiles.

Yep, Bumble is a joke, women are too damn picky, it's hilarious, so they'll never talk to a match.

Yet they bitch about tons of guys opening them, "just not the right one".

The brief time I was on Bumble I had a decent amount of matches and most of them said 'Hi' but almost none of them replied from there. They were clearly only saying Hi in order to keep the match from timing out so that they can keep as many orbiters on the line as possible. On the flip side my one Bumble bang was possibly the hottest woman I've ever been with, ever. My next closest Bumble match was a 30yo black woman who was a major SIF, had like FFF breasts but a drop dead gorgeous, 9+ face. Way larger than what I go for but for some reason she had my boner on overdrive. She came directly to my place on her lunch break and I had her bent over my kitchen counter, skirt pushed up but she guarded her panties like the Alamo and I was left literally with my dick in hand

So I can't completely throw Bumble under the bus haha! I plan to get back on in the next 3-4 weeks.

[Ethan Hunt]

I got a match on this app today who sent me a message. Taiwanese-Canadian student studying in Britain. Quite cute and looks tiny! Anyway her opener was pretty good on her part. As follows

Her: Hi there, having a good week so far? You've got a nice wardrobe btw (winky face)
Me: Weekend so it only gets better! Thanks, would look better on the floor though. I like your sunglasses... Got the same pair. How are you?
Her: Look better on the floor? Oh wow someone is a bit cocky! Lol I'm great thanks - just getting ready to go out. What about you?


I haven't responded yet but I will do at some point. Location thing says she is almost 50 miles away though.

Guys, be aware that it's common for new websites and apps to create a lot of fake profiles in order to get traction. It's even more common for dating sites to create fake female profiles. "Hey" messages from girls that then lead to her deleting you could be very easily automated to "pay out" after you've matched a certain amount of people or waited a certain period of time. Casinos and dating sites have used this trick to make guys stay and renew membership for ages.

Apart from that, I think they have a good business model, though maybe not for us guys. By keeping the spam that women receive from guys low since she has to initiate, they're obviously targeting the women as customers. It makes perfect sense to do this as it's easier to sell based on emotions (and girls have plenty). Thirst is strong, so there will ALWAYS be guys on dating sites, so I'd be surprised if any sites cater to men beyond making sure he gets a "payout" often enough to stick around and/or pay the recurring fee.

I'm not saying Bumble! is a lost cause, but I have a very strong feeling the girls look like semi-celebrities because pictures are taken from public Instagram profiles...

[floor7]

I can't get this on my phone because I only have ios7 (still have an old iphone 4). That is a feature though - by limiting it to only ios 8 and 9, it cuts out people who are perhaps more frugal or older (who don't feel the need to get new phones if their old one works).

[N°6]

I deleted this app after two weeks.

Between Bumble, Tinder and Happn, the quality of women in order is:

1. Bumble
2. Happn
3. Tinder

Unfortunately after two weeks, I received ZERO matches.

Market failure.

[Vincent Chase]

This thing is as a lost cause as could be. A feminist app that misses the whole fucking point and doesn't understand how game works. Girls don't want to be the initiators, even saying "hey" is too much effort for most. I have one date on this and she turned out to be fucking ugly and I've had other matches but 90% of them haven't said a word. Waste of fucking time. Girls pretty much already hold all the cards on Internet dating, this thing actually makes them weaker as they actually do the approach, or at least they would do if they wanted to or weren't fake profiles.

[BDawg]

I currently use Bumble and Tinder. Both are useful supplemental tools for trafficking dates near NYC. Nevertheless, IRL game trumps them both by far.

Bumble's strength is that the quality of quarry is high. I'm engaging with doctors and lawyers even though they don't know what I do. However, they are tougher to bang and are pickier about location preferences. Once I went downtown and 17 matches pop up.

Tinder has more fake profiles, but there is a bit more range in options. The Bumble people are likely more sympathetic to women, you can just feel it.

Oddly, I did most of the unmatching with Bumble, where Tinder unmatching happened at an even rate. Bumble has pictures you can magnify and are larger.

I'm also using some Tinder helper apps. The one I'm banging is from Tinder, but she's a bit unstable. My experience with OKC was a nightmare.

[DeeDee]

The 1st of November this app will land on Google Play (Android). Then, we will really see whether it can take a jab at Tinder.

Putting aside that online dating and dating apps are generally pretty useless for the amount of time required, I slightly disagree that Bumble is giving more power to the female. I think letting them show interest first is a good thing and saves time. In my experience with apps/online, if a girl shows genuine interest while opening you first, then is keen/eager to go on a date... it's a good indicator that you are at least getting your dick touched that night as long as you aren't passive and take back the lead. Of course some girls will only respond if you initiate, but how many times have you matched and started a convo on Tinder only to have it lead nowhere? I would say a girl who doesn't keep a match on Bumble would likely ignore that same match on another app, even if they opened her.

I'm currently in a city where there just aren't enough people on Bumble, but I was recently in a large city and I literally couldn't run out of chicks to swipe. In a couple days, with limited wifi, I matched with dozens and most were very bangable. Many opened with 'hey' but many actually tried starting a conversation. I was busy and it was clear on my profile I was just visiting so that may have affected my ability to pull but I think if I lived there I'd be able to set up dates non-stop with this thing.

Interesting, but here on the forum, the only real metric is "how many bangs will this get me?"

[slothpiece]

Bumping this now that Android version has hit within the last few days. Started it up last night and already have 20 matches in DC. They are so open about posting their places of employment and schools, so it is easy to peep their FBs to scope out stealth SIFs. How is it working for others these last few days as far as conversions?

[R_Niko]

Just spent an hour on Bumble and got six matches. Avg quality: 7. Now we play the waiting game...

[godzilla]

Random thoughts. I download the app yesterday.

A lot of cute girls.
Quality is pretty good in my city.
Very few fatties on this app.
The best looking guys should probably kill it with this app, even more so then Tinder, especially we leave up to the girls to message.
This app should be a hit in Sweden.

[R_Niko]

Another thing; when I change the location settings, I receive a steady stream of 8+'s, then the quality suddenly drops off. As if it's engineered to give you only hot girls, until the supply runs out, then you get the bottom of the barrel.

I used to get that impression with online poker... they give you good cards to start to get you excited

[goonies]

I've tried Bumble and to be honest, the quality is almost too good. It seems like the first 10-15 girls I get are usually 8's and up. Then all of a sudden it drops and the average girls start popping up. Like someone mentioned earlier, even if you craft the absolute perfect, wittiest response, it's no guarantee she will respond. That's just the nature of online dating. I've had some great exchanges with some girls, and they even seem really invested writing a lot more than me. Then they just drop off out of the blue. This is why I strongly prefer real life approaching.

I honestly think those are fake profiles. I've seen it on Tinder as well. Get your hopes up, then the reality eventually seeps in

[godzilla]

I don't know about the fake profiles. I have a good visual memory. It basically all the same girls on tinder, playing the same game, over and over again.

[XPQ22]

Is there a way to use this app without linking to a Facebook account? I tried making an account today, and I thought the "login with Facebook" thing was just for verification purposes or something, like OKCupid.

Nope, suddenly there I am with my real name and age listed on the app and a bunch of photos pulled from my Facebook account. Yikes! Delete.

[R_Niko]

opening lines I've received and the hotness of the girls who said them:

Hey, how's it going - 5
Nice tie! - 6
Hi [name] - 5
Hey! How's it going - 4.5
Hey [name], how's it going - 5.5
Hey - 7.5
Hey [name], how's it going - 6
Hey [name]! How's your weekend treating you? Up to anything fun? - 6
Hello - 4
Hey [name] - 4.5
Hi [name] - 6.5
Hey [name], how's the weekend been? Up to anything fun? - 6.5
Great quote! - 4.5
Hello! - 5
One chance ever? Or one chance per day [referring to the fact I granted her my one extension per day, to prolong our match before it was deleted] - 8
Hi [name] - 5
Bonjour [name] - 6
Hey hun, how are you? - 5.5
Hey, how was your weekend? - 6
Hey [name], how has your weekend been? - 7
Hi there - 6
Hello hello, how has your weekend been - 7
Hey [name], how are you? - 5.5
Hi - 4
[Name] - 4.5
Hi [name] - 4.5
Hey how's your weekend been - 7.5


So day one hasn't been super encouraging.

I find it hilarious that girls complain about such lame lines being used to open them on Tinder, but when the script is flipped, they use said lines.

That being said, let me know if you find one who wears a fuzzy hat and does magic tricks

I couldn't care less if they send me "Hi", or the complete works of William Shakespeare as an opening message. Hell, they can text me in Morse Code if they want.

The question is - does it seem like you'll be able to get any of them out on a sit? Keep us posted!

[General Stalin]

I keep checking back on this thread for the first bang report off this app. None yet.

[getdownonit]

^ Got my first bang from bumble almost a year ago, which I recently learned was shortly after it was released. Same shit as tinder as long as they actually message you, I think most of the hot women are fake profiles there are just too many model quality women on there.
