Despite supposedly being better than tinder and OK cupid and Co I've found it to be far shitter In terms of responses

Is bumble actually just the worst app for dudes when it comes to dating
- Thread starter Bobson Dugnutt
- Start date
I've done really well with woman slightly above my age on it, especially in comparison to Tinder.
Bumble is amazing as a guy. 2 years ago I would use it a lot as a counter to Tinder. Its really nice to take a passive role and let women start a conversation, really nice opening the app and seeing how many new conversations you have queued up.
Yep.
A coworker and i were talking about it as she was on it. She said it's better for her for that reason.
I find it better than Tinder. It seems to be less about just finding a sexual partner and people more interested in relationships.
Not to sound self centered or taking jabs at op but Bumble is great if you are attractive. Hell most girls will settle from just looking normal.
Sometimes it feels like lots of accounts are totally fake or girls use it to advertise their Instagram accounts. Still I've managed a threesome and two other meet ups.

That's probably it tbh. I'm ugly as fuck yet have done OK on the other apps. Does seem like it's more discerning than the rest. Even when I get a response the messages are to be desired.
GRATS ON THE SEX BRO. LETS FIST BUMP.
Bumble is cool, you just have to accept that you are not in control, and you are truly being judged by your cover - so make it good.
Bumble is great, what other app lets the woman send the first message, which 90% of the time is "Hi"
Anecdotal but I've heard mostly good things from my male friends who have used it, especially coming from Tinder.
Only if it's a threesome. We can make the dick lips kith.

Its cool and all but it still feels just like tinder where I have to do all the heavy lifting in a convo, like saying "hey" almost never works for me on tinder but on bumble that shit is all girls send
Bumble is the only app I've ever given up on. It feels as shallow as Tinder, but with way more fake/dead profiles.
CMB is probably my favorite app, which also has gatekeeping (you have to be "liked" back) but seems more conversation-geared. But that might just be demographics. It seems to skew older and more educated.

I'd say elite singles and other apps/sites geared towards "high-earning, very intelligent" users are worse. Imagine how self-obsessed the user base must be to think they're "elites" :p
Bumble was fine for me. Less successful than tinder, but I still got dates.

I've literally never gotten a hey from Bumble. Granted, I've been on it for less than a week.
Is Hinge any good? I keep hearing about that one.
Dating is like the last priority in my life right now but I would like to get back into it once things settle down.

I met my girlfriend on Bumble. You'll get faaaar more matches on Tinder but, in my experience, the more worthwhile ones happen on Bumble.
Oh, you will. I've gotten so many "hey" starters on Bumble, it's stupid.

Bumble was amaing. By requiring the female to send a message first it's a signal she isn't messing around. I had to delete the app for a while, I was losing control. Fun times but things would escalate pretty quickly. I felt like my work output was deteriorating because I was on that app way too much. I ran into my bosses daughter, colleagues, people I knew in the past, etc.
Seriously guys, we got it too easy these days. I actually met my SO on Tinder though. Two and a half years and going.

I agree with this, I guess. I am both white and latino so that helps a lot with being exotic enough but also look familiar haha. Liking a variety of things is also good, no one super cares if you love every type of fighting game. But if you enjoy sports, nerdy stuff and cultural events you will always have a topic with just about anyone.
I got more likes and comments back on Bumble.
Of course the irony is that women complain they get meh openers like "Hi" or "Hey" and here I am getting these same openers from women and I'm like "Seriously?"
Bonus points if they mention nothing about themselves in their profile so there's nothing to go on.

between tinder, okcupid, and bumble I've had the most luck finding a potential partner through bumble
granted I'm single right now so they didn't work out but it seemed like the best of the 3 if you're actually looking for a potential relationship

It's miles better than Tinder and I like the fact that women have to message first, though while I do get matches on Bumble I hadn't had any messaged me but that doesn't bother me as I know that the app is more successful than Tinder as I had 0 matches on that.
