But if you are LGBTQ, you can use Bumble and find results. I think there's a huge opportunity for more apps to be made for people within the LGBTQ community. But I've also looked through apps like Her, and I think that Bumble and Tinder are used predominantly by straight people. I'm not entirely straight, and I've looked at women and thought I'd like to date you and you. I message whoever I'd like to when I feel the timing is right, or when I'm feeling lonely.ĭo you think Bumble is a heteronormative environment? How do you decide who to message? What tips do you have for the men who can't message first? If I meet someone in person I tell them about how they make me feel, and on apps I begin a conversation based on their bio. I think men who can't message first should remind themselves if they don't do anything, the women might not. Men don't have to always start conversation, women can too. I do this because women or men are people, and should do what they feel is right. I feel like I should message first if I need to. How do you feel about having to message first? For example: "Person of the Year: my best friend. The weirdest bio I've ever seen on Bumble is the kind where the person pretends their bio is like the back of a DVD, and lists all of the awards they've pulled out of their ass. What was the weirdest bio you saw on Tinder and which was the weirdest on Bumble? I choose to use it for either a hook-up or something serious, because it's like my neighborhood grocery store. I am most comfortable and familiar with Bumble's layout. If I'm looking for a hookup or something serious, either way is through Bumble. Tinder makes me feel like I'm swimming in a river without a raft. My Tinder only lasted one night, because I felt safer on Bumble. I used different pictures on Bumble than I did on Tinder. I really appreciate when pictures are taken with good perspective. Third, age, I'm currently in the market for 21-27. Second, a bio that really describes who they identify as a person, or gives me ANY sort of hint of intelligence. I use my personal filtering system… first, looks for initial chemistry. When I accidentally swipe right I give the person another chance by looking at their profile a second time. What do you do when you accidentally swipe right or super-like?

I met one guy from my school, we see each other everyday and then we matched. So I was trying to ask what's your favourite type of music? And we exchanged information, and I said I like this band, and he just ignored me. person was a guy, really good-looking, in a band. I have no trouble talking to people with the same background as me. That's the main problem for me, it's a lot of anxiety. I'm trying to find a subject to talk about. With girls I reach out a lot, with guys, i just hope they come talk to me.īecause I'm from China, here I'm kind of socially awkward. It's a two-way communication.Īre you the type of person who reaches out or takes the initiative to ask the person out? Even if you take the initiative, it's still up to the guy if they're willing to chat with you or not. Thoughts?įeminist? I don't think it works that way. People call Bumble the feminist dating app. Just a normal picture, don't try too hard. And don't put group shots, I can't really tell which one is you, if there's a good-looking person and an ugly person. What tips would you give to a guy who wants someone to message them on Bumble? I tend to check people who go to our school so we have stuff to talk about, like events coming up, or someone we may know like, "do you know this guy from your department?" I don't really have a strategy, just, try to find some things we have in common. What's your technique or strategy to strike up a conversation? I would kind of hope when I got matches in real life I would start to talk to them, but they never mention anything about asking me out. So I wouldn't ask them out but they wouldn't bother to ask me out. Mostly if I talk to someone on Bumble, I'll just exchange Instagram or something and that's it. Honestly, I think guys and girls are more good-looking on Bumble than on Tinder.Īre you looking for something serious or casual? Which app is your go-to?Ĭasual. One said it hurts my eyes and asked what kind of drugs I use because he wants to get to my level. They look normal, I wouldn't say they're good-looking, they're decent, I was really surprised that I still got matches. I put a funny and ugly picture and I still get matches. I use the same pictures, but I'm not using Tinder anymore so I put a really funny picture on Tinder of a character from a Chinese TV show, but you know what's funny, I get a lot of matches. Do you use different pictures/bio on Bumble than on Tinder?
