Bumble dating app

I have had it for about a week

Have liked lots of people

However only have one match that came out of it

They want your money to see who likes you

Set it to everyone so all genders as I am not bothered so much about peoples physical composition

Thinking about deleting it now

Has anyone had any luck with dating sites?

I have never even tried one. Honestly, I kind of wish some more reliable ones would have been around when I was younger and actually interested in that kind of stuff.

I think @FreeLunch has had some success in that area, but he is not around atm.

Most the posts I’ve seen here seem to indicate that, for most people here, it isn’t what it’s cracked up to be and most have not had much success.

Not telling you to give up or anything, but I think it is challenging for many to find a real match that works on these sites.

Nope, maybe different for you. I was on and off tinder and bumble for years and only talked to a few women, but they’ve already had kids etc… not very lucky with women on those sites. Eharmony you have to pay so avoided… some people get lucky, but not me!

I have tried online years ago. My experience was people were not genuine. I had a more authentic connections meeting people when out. Tricky thing is I don’t go out by myself any longer.

I prefer pof and OK cupid.

There’s more opportunities. That are okay, in fact.

Bumble is not bad tho.

If anyone is looking for one night stands, tinder is best.

I’m going to give some advice

Don’t give anybody who you don’t know and haven’t met in person money there’s lots of scammers who don’t care about you claim to “love you with all there heart” then scam you people have lost there houses and everything it’s called the “catfish scam” dr Phil has made a lot of episodes about it

If you’re okay with the same gender, you need to try grinder. I heard there 99% success rate.

I never had any success on Bumble and I tried it a couple times.

I noticed there were a lot of fake profiles on there and the website tries and con you into getting the paying membership.

I hear OkCupid is supposed to be okay. I’ve never tried that site though. I’ve kinda given up on dating and online dating.

Think I am close also to giving up with it. Only ever paid once for Match.com and got nothing from a 6 month membership

Managed to get on WhatsApp with a couple of people, but the conversation died off very quickly

Yeah I’m sorry man. Online dating really sucks these days. It’s totally skewed to be in favor of women. I mean every dating site will have like ten thousand single men, and maybe a thousand single women. So the women can be as picky as they please.

I am going to remove the app

Do not think this is a good use of time to be stringed along until I pay money

Lol. Was intrigued cos i never heard of bumble so i put it on the phone.

5 minutes. All way out of my league lol. Deleted. :smiley:

Thing is with all dating and apps is - people take it too bloody seriously. Then get all upset cos they been ghosted or not getting any replys. Its a good way to give yourself self esteem issues.

Dating is supposed to be fun - not a bloody chore.

I think it’s natural not being happy about being ghosted by all the people you attempt to match with, of course if you trying to match with people who are way out of your league is to be expected.

I understand people take it seriously because they are probably lonely - but ive seen facebook wars over it lol.

Alot of people also are not comfortable in their own skin first and used to being on their own - before looking for a partner. And that creates issues.

lol so true. To quote Tom Haverford from Parks and Rec, the women on Bumble all play in the NBA, and I work at a muffler shop next to the arena
