Bumble question

[CrazyRatLover]

Does anyone how someone can keep liking me on Bumble when there's no search option? I mean like, every few days!

Deleting and remaking new accounts?

Why would someone do that over and over, every few days?

Do you know this person?

Could be getting banned/reported. Could be clearing their account out every few days for whatever reason.

I noticed the same thing when I was on Bumble. Very strange!

No I don't know him. He's constantly liked me on other platforms too!

But on Bumble I can't block him unless I've messaged him. I know he's not done anything wrong and I should ignore, but it's bugging me!

This is probably bad advice, but could you/would you message him and say you've noticed him around a lot and what does he want?

You can hide/block people on bumble without matching them, it probably won't do much good though if he is deleting and reinstalling his account!

I've realised that I can report and block that way!

I agree, send him a message to ask him what he wants then you can report him and block him

How creepy!! Yes I agree, he’s deleting his account and restarting a new one. Glad you’ve found the block button, but I’d have been tempted to message him to see WTF he’s doing.

It's weird, every time he restarts he must have to swipe through so many to get to mine. Apparently the best thing to do is ignore, not give the attention, so next time he pops up I'll report. (I think it said I can report, I have no likes at the moment to check!).

So I blocked him the other week, (selected the 'just not interested' option) He's now popped up again and it's freaked me out. Blocked and reported, didn't know what to select so did 'fake profile' and I was asked to explain so I did. Says they'll get back to me.

I’d have been very tempted at that point to message him and ask WTF. That’s incredibly creepy. Has he popped up again on other SM? Do you use the same name?

Hi OP, I'd contact bumble customer services and explain. They should be able to access and block his IP address.

Usually platforms take things like this very seriously but you have to kick up enough of a fuss!

Regarding how he is finding you - he could be putting on age and distance parameters that filter you out.

ALSO - this could actually not be that creepy. Men do this tactic with dating sites where they just swipe "yes" on absolutely everyone. As in they don't look at the profile. They don't look at the pics or the bio they just swipe yes on everyone and see what comes up.

So to you it looks like he is singling you out but in fact he is just swiping on everyone between certain ages within a certain distance.

I must have swiped left on him about 10 times, so he's hit to be making new accounts.

I never thought about that @D0lphine you could be right actually.

Thank you for the replies.

@Decidualcast I think he only popped up a few times on another platform, that was a whole ago. Think it was Facebook dating.

It's crossed my mind briefly to message him, but the thought makes me feel sick tbh! I'm tempted to put his photo on here lol but won't!

I doubt it's about you.

I've been on bumble the last couple of years (on and off).
Some guys obviously create new accounts every day/every few days because they keep popping up in the stack with the 'new here' icon.
They must not get any swipes so try again fresh each day.
I don't think it's because they want to hook me, more they want to hook any woman.

I also wonder if you pay for Bumble it allows you to get back in the stack even if you've been rejected.

So don't be too freaked out and definitely don't message them, that's their goal!

@blackgreywhite

Yeah this sounds about right. Create new profile, get to "new here" list to get to as many women as poss then swipe right on every single person, without looking at their profile.

Clearly thinks he is hacking the system (although also clearly ineffective).

I'd block and ignore OP. Honestly not worth worrying about. Hoping you match with a good egg soon!

I agree that it's probably a case of not looking at profiles. 10 times though creating a different account, why not just be patient and bide your time?! I'm going to change my name on there anyway, because I don't like the idea of people knowing my real name. It's a shame we have to do this though! Thanks @D0lphine and everyone else.

It's such a game of luck so anything is possible!

I am thinking there might be a novel in the tragic back story of the tragic men on bumble (being a tragic female on there myself!)

It must be hard as a man online dating because as a women you aren't guaranteed decent dates with decent men, but you will get swipes and attention if that's what you are after at least.

I'm lucky in that I'm not really that bothered if I find someone longer term, and I have some great dates with some great guys (just not for me) and a pretty decent FWB from it all, so all in all not too bad.

Good luck with your search OP!

The fact that he keeps liking you is creepy despite gaming the system. I remember a lot of faces after I renew, and never re-swipe right on them.

No it's not. He doesn't look at the pictures. That's the point...

It's strange. You have to look at the picture before you press like or swipe right - it's just there!
