Bumble Dating App - any users?

Thinking of getting back into the world of OLD again, I have had terrible experiences on POF and thought Bumble maybe a better option?

Is anyone using this/have used this?

I use Bumble. I like that women make the first move. However, it seems to be a lot of the same people on all of the dating apps.

I've met quite a few people from there (pre covid) and I guess its like anywhere, some genuine and some nobs. People don't seem to make much effort with their profiles.

Im mid 20s if that's relevant.

That’s me took the plunge and signed up.

Interestingly I’m 40, do you think it’s for younger audience?

I dont know really! I have my age range set up to 32 I think and there are plenty of people around that age, so I assume there is a wide age range?

Hope you're finding it okay! There is a lot of dross (as with any app/website) but I have met some nice people from it and my friend is currently just about to move in with someone she met on there.

I think being extra selective and somewhat harsh is the key!

Interested in this thread?

I'm in my 40s and used Bumble a few years ago (happily engaged now - yay!). Trouble is, you see the same people on all the free dating sites. But, you don't get unsolicited pickups so it's swings and roundabouts.

It seems to be ok so far... only 24 hours into it.
Chatting to a few guys but I’ve had to block someone already who was really odd, very intense.
This is the only dating site I’m on, the thought of being on more than 1 makes me feel exhausted Grin
