Yes
you are maybe new so profile boosted
lots of horny men in the heat

that said well done as your profile must be a good un

user26375892 · 10/09/2023 13:00

I'm actually grossed out. What a bunch of vultures!

Assuming you’re female then yes perfectly normal, most men are pretty indiscriminate in their swiping and new profiles tend to be at the top of the stack.

user26375892 · 10/09/2023 13:13

Yes, female.

Everyone has this experience then?

No wonder people are put off with OLD.

Yeah pretty normal.
Sift through at your leisure and see if any take your fancy.

It is normal, and it will never be so many ever again, so make the most of it! As others have said, just sift through at your leisure.

I don't understand why you are grossed out? It's Bumble, you get to call the shots. The guys are just swiping on people they like the look of (or everyone), it's not like they were lurking waiting to pounce on you in particular.

You are on a dating site and these are men who may want to date you - not sure that makes them vultures.

User63847439572 · 10/09/2023 14:22

Unless you’re going to pay I don’t think you can see your likes anyway, so just go through what comes up for you and swipe on ones you like the look of.

ChristmasFluff · 10/09/2023 14:22

Oh, and also if you are in your free sign-up period - lots will probably be bots to make you think you will get lots of matches, thus encouraging you to stay signed up into the charging period.

Wonkypumpkin · 10/09/2023 14:56

Yeah same happened to me when my profile was new. 750 likes. It gave me the creeps and that along with many other reasons is why I’m not using it now.

User63847439572 · 10/09/2023 15:03

Feeling a bit crap I didn’t get 750 now 🤣

true !!!!

Ladybug14 · 10/09/2023 15:12

Yes. Totally normal.

arethereanyleftatall · 10/09/2023 15:13

Yes. Men swipe right on everyone, then only look once they get matches. Selfish but saves them time.

user26375892 · 10/09/2023 15:35

I'm not in the UK so stamped out my time so I don't out myself but this is just ridiculous. Or maybe a little bit flattering.

... but if it's happening to everyone then maybe not!

My face exactly!

Yup same happened with me - I'm only using the free bit so can't see them though! 😂

Possibly stupid question but if I swipe right on someone who hasn't swiped on me (yet?) if they do then do I then see them in the matches bit?

Yes!

So if they swipe on you after you've swiped for them, you'll get a notification of a new match.

Sorry op, I'm afraid it's not flattering. I think it's almost the opposite - I found it insulting if some unfit bloke 20 years older than me swiped right - I thought 'how dare you!'

Why is it ridiculous? Your profile will have been promoted to all male seeking female users where you meet their age and location criteria.

It won't last, don't worry

I think I'm just surprised there are so many men out there on dating apps?!

When I was single many years ago, dating apps weren't even a thing, and dating sites were cringe. I've just come out of a marriage and it the entire dating landscape has completely changed.
