One of my friends is telling me good things about it. Basically its similar to Tinder, only it is set up so that women have to make the first move. Guys cannot contact women first.

All you have to do is swipe and wait for girls to message you once you match. Profiles are short. It is more for hook-ups than LTR's but some people end up dating.

Has anyone had luck with it?

Bumble is Tinder with a better group of women.

I'd say that more women on Bumble are looking for dating vs hooking up. Tinder is still the hook up app.

I just made an account today. The women on Bumble are much hotter on average than Tinder. In fact, it seems to be around 80% hot girls (7-10) and 5% fatties. The other 15% is in the average range.

I'm pretty impressed so far. But I wonder why so many ugly and fat women are avoiding this app.

I installed it, then realised OLD is worthless to me, like looking at garbage. Porn is a tiny bit better.

I think its just second nature for an ugly woman who just wants fvcked to go to Tinder. They gravitate to it.

I get messages from women on Bumble that live 2 hours away and say "you're handsome enough to make the drive". I spare them the time unless they are super hot.

I actually like that they have to message me first. It cuts the lower to mid low interest ones out right away.

Fake profiles - the best I've ever seen, but still fake.

Do a bit of googling, should find some reddit threads on the subject.

Seems interesting. I downloaded it only for validation . To be honest though , i don't want the people in my area to see me into old.

Aaaand, they're almost certainly shilling in Reddit and other online forums (hint, hint).

I've had far more success on Bumble than I have on Tinder. Not sure why, I've always had both at the same time, used the same pics, had the same swiping habits. I'm sure it has to do with the algorithms they use. There are lots of fake/inactive profiles on Bumble. Bumble definitely has less trash than Tinder. Bumble has some sort of "points" program that tries to match the highest scoring females with the highest scoring males. Its based on popularity, how many times you swipe right, and if you respond to those you have been matched with.

Tinder is more equivalent to POF as Bumble is more like Match. Still no shortage of girls seeking validation.

Here's a link to the story about the creator of Bumble:

I tried downloading this app and it looked like one big ad. No interface at all. Am I missing something ?

There are some downright gorgeous women on there, which leads me to think there are many fake profiles. I have matched a couple, but mostly 6-7s. Average looks for the loss... at some point, I need to find some night time activities that will get me out more. I have been a bit unmotivated as of late

I would say stick to Tinder or Happn... I've read a couple profiles on Tinder where women say "Bumble was too much work" at the end of the day we need to remember women like to be guided not leading. Eventually once the novelty of being "an independent women" wears off, they will come to despise putting in all the work.
