Apparently this is like the Feminist Tinder they call it. It's set up in the same style as Tinder with the swiping left or right if you like a person but the difference is if you both "swipe right" the woman has to email the dude.
You're also timed. Like if I match with a dude, I only have 24 hours to send him an email or he goes away. Then the dude has 24 hours or something to write you back. Um - this is an OCD girls dream! Ha ha ha!
On Valentine's night my girlfriend came over and we got to talking about dating apps. She's on this Bumble and convinced me to do it. So, with her help, we set up my Bumble account and I was ready to go. Here's what I've learned.
- The dudes on Bumble seem to be way hotter than the dudes on Tinder. I don't know why, but there is just a whole lotta better looking fellows on there!
- My friend showed me a date she'd been on with. She said he was a little odd. He text her a picture of baby quails he just bought. Seriously like 10 of them. She asked if they were pets. His response - yes! And I can eat the eggs. Quails. Not chickens. Quails.
- My girlfriend was recognizing a bunch of the dudes I swiped as dudes that showed on on hers too.
- There's also a "shake" quality to Bumble. Apparently if you accidentally swipe left you can shake your phone and he'll come back. Let's just say this turned into a very hilarious display by me trying to get a few dudes back. Think:
- This dude I went out with from this blog has now popped up on my e-Harmony, Tinder and now Bumble. Ack.
- I love the theme - Bumble...so when you're looking for dudes you push the little hive. When it's thinking there's little bees. It's so cute.
- Guys still pose with fish.
- We're running out of men. I see the same dudes on all these different dating sites.
- Some dudes only know how to email in what I would assume is text language. All kinds of acronyms and what not. I admit I may not have the best grammar but at least I can make a fucking sentence. You know...with actual WORDS!
- I "run out of people" all the time. Either not a lot of dudes are on Bumble or I've literally run out of men. It tells me to check back later. I have to wait a couple of days if I don't want to "run out of people". WTF.
- I made a date with one dude, but had to cancel because I got a cold. His response - "Are you sure it's not just anxiety to meet me?" Um - don't flatter yourself asshole. So I tell him of course not, I have a cold. How about we make a date over the weekend? Guess what - GHOSTED.
- I did get one good date out of it. Fingers actually still crossed on that one but trying really damn hard to not get excited, because last time that happened it was with Sleeves, whom you read about a while back and you know how bitterly that ended.
So in conclusion - Bumble is pretty much like Tinder but with hotter guys and less guys. I've already turned it off, but it was a fun jaunt. I may actually go back on later for funners but I'm taking a break from dating apps/sites for a bit. I'm getting too jaded so I think I should step away. But I'm not giving up dammit!
